I have just recently bought a GSD pup and I am new to the sport of Schutzhund. I went and watched a Schutzhund club at work near my house and all of them use german commands on my dog. Is this required in the sport or can you train your dog with english commands. Because I have already started with English commands and i do not want to switch because i do not want to confuse the dog. Can someone help out here Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Howie, what some people do is to train with two seperate sets of commands (can all be English...just different words) that mean the same thing but the dog knows that "Down" at home means do what I say but it doesn't have to be perfect but on the field use somthing else (German is "Platz" but you could come up with something else) means a fast, clean hit the ground and watch me with great eye contact....things like that. In other words, (no pun intended) have a set of commands for home and one for working.
It has been a long day...reading over what I just wrote it does sound confusing...hope you get the general idea.
Also someone sent me a link to a web site with the commands sounded out in several languages. If you are interested in that link let me know and I will send it to you or post it on this board.
