IPO is essentially the same as SchH. Slight differences such as on the courage test the dog is off leash, the handler doesn't search the helper before the escape and other minor differences.
SVV is not the same as schutzhund. While the exersises are based around the routine of a schutzhund trial, they are not all that similar. As far as I know ZVV is not reconized by the FCI, or VDH. Its is a test that comes from Czeck. You cannot for instance get have a dog that has a ZVV1 and then title him in America to Sch2. You can do that with IPO but not ZVV
Because the SP/PS was mainly devised before the wall came down...most of the training and requirements are very difficult to come by. Even today they won't let you video their training.
I am told that the SP-PS is similar to the ZVV2 routine and the "defence is enlarged with indoor biting". The dog has to track the "bad guy" into a large group of people like in a bar who are drunk and raising hell, the dog has to indentify and apprehend the "bad guy" from this group of people.
