PronouncedK9.com is dedicated to “Old Style Schutzhund training” for sport, police and protection dogs. Old style in that it is meant to create a dog with solid fundamental training that is capable of handling both real-life and competitive high stress situations.
In the beginning, Schutzhund was a fundamentally sound concept intended to improve our working breeds by promoting through breeding dogs with pronounced “courage and hardness.” Brian Harvey has been doing this type of training for over 30 years.
The dog training of that era is not even close to the level of today’s high performance training. Dogs today have much more drive and are taught to be more correct than the dogs of the past. However, dogs of today are not as fundamentally sound as the dogs of the past. Training a dog in Schutzhund and training a dog to bite someone used to be the same thing. Not anymore. Today’s sport dogs are just that – sport dogs looking to earn points while playing a game.
Because of this, a lot of today’s top service dog trainers see the sleeve training being done by sport trainers as having NO value in their dog training programs. However, if done correctly in a fundamentally sound way, there is no better way to train a rock solid protection dog than using “Old Style Schutzhund training.” The purpose of PronouncedK9.com and this blog is to show you how to use methods of the past blended with the concepts of today to produce some of the most outstanding biting dogs around.
really excellent appreciate it for expressing this liked the idea
I read this article with much gratification, considering that I discovered in it some of the behavioral outputs of my dear poodle. I thought maybe loneliness is causing this practices, but it has at the moment become certainty. I know now he requires everlasting focus and stimulation from me and of course from other canines, otherwise left alone in the backyard garden will proceed to mature bored. His conduct began to become desctructive and frustrating, manifested by excesive digging, barking and chewing. Even my neighbors have drawn attention to the loud, which he did in the backyard! In any case, thanks for this excellent and informative article!
