Before a dog can trial for it's I it has to have recieved it's BH. The dog has to be either 15 months or 1 1/2 before it can compete for it's BH. Are you going for it soon? I think my dog and I will be ready before the summer is over. What kind of dog do you have?
I have an eight and half month old GSD bitch. She came form Kennel Seeblik, Kennel Seeblick from great working parents, unfortunatley their club is 95 miles up the road so I can't go as ofetn as I would like. No club close by. Are there any good books or training programs on the web for BH? What all is involved? I am working her a bit on tracking and obedience, this is my first dog to train in sport. I am unsure whether Protection or ScH is best for us. I am also interested in SAR. How far are you with training? How old and what kind of dog do you have? How are you training?
Scott - we're having a protection seminar with Frans Slaman, from Holland, on the weekend of 1-3 June at the club if you want to come. Frans can give your pup an introduction to bitework and help you evaluate what her strengths and weaknesses are.
Hi Scott, I have a 1.5 year old male rottweiler. He will do the whole BH routine but I need him to be more reliable on the heel off lead through the crowd. The BH is basically an obedience test with a tempermant test. They will also see how your dog responds to cars and bicycles, you know, like a socialization test. Probably the hardest thing the people going for BH at the schutzhund trial I was at last week was the heel off lead. There is no tracking or protection in the BH phase.
Sch3FH2, I am planning to be there, although I sure hate that it is not going earlier as originally planned (the 1st week of June is the start of the really busy season at work for me.)Is it a problem if I do not make the 1st day? I want very much to see her do some bite work. She is nuts for anything that moves, and will not be denied. She is great, I just wish I was better, and yall were closer.
As I take my dog for walks, she lunges at cars and growls. On one hand I want to correct her, but, then I think this is her normal prey drive coming out and I should just let her do it. What is right?
Scott - No matter what the motivation is, there are some behaviors you simply don't allow. If she chased after a 5-yr old and bit her, it might be due to "normal prey drive", but tough luck. It isn't allowed. Build her prey drive thru the use of toys/balls/rags, but teach her in no uncertain terms that there are certain times when it is not appropriate.
Are you planning to be in the seminar or just audit? The first day is always the one with the most explanations, so it can be frustrating to miss it and then come in the second day and not know WHY things are being done the way they are.
Scott, don't forget, if your dog is not comfortable around cars than it will get deducted for that in the BH....while there are no points given in the bh, it could still be the difference between pass/fail. If the dog has strong drive anyway than discouraging unwanted behavior is not going to hurt your dog.
