| Re: Schutzhund... is it a good idea with a child in the house?
Schutzund will actually get your Dog better trained then if you went to just a basic OB class. If your dog has drive then it will whether you do SCH or not. Sch will help direct the dogs drive to something. I would get him to a SCH club now when he is young. There are things that you can be teaching the Dog like to hold things and to bark and TRACK TRACK TRACK . I would not play to much tug because then when he gets a sleeve or ball he will think he has to fight for it all the time. Then you will have to teach him to hold things all over again. He has to learn that NOT everything is a fight. As far as the child is conserned I would be causes no matter if the Dog is SCH dog or not.
The high prey drive ig great , but hopefully he has some fight drive in him as well....
Good luck with the sport you will enjoy it. |
