Schutzhund is about control. Being that a properly trained dog is trained in "all drives", I think it's not absurd to say that a SchH trained dog is actually a safer dog than one not trained in all drives.
How many times have you seen a dog outside of it's normal environment (or even in it's own environment!) completely blow off the owner? Lack of training, lack of generalizaton in training, and lack of proofing is the reason.
Unfortunately, ignorance is bliss.
Good luck with that talk.
