• Schutzhund is a three levels, three phases dog sport that was
    developed in Germany in the early 1900s.

  • The literal translation from German to English of the word "schutzhund"
    (protection dog) is quite misleading. A schutzhund dog is more than a
    protection dog. A schutzhund dog is tested for the traits necessary for
    police-type work such as intelligence, courage, trainability, strong desire
    to work, agility, strength, endurance, and scenting ability.

  • Before to be able to compete in a Schuzhund Trial, the dog must pass a
    temperament test and an obedience evaluation called BH ("Begleithund
    Pruefung" which means "traffic-sure companion dog test").

  • Schutzhund titles:
            SchI (Novice)
            SchII (Intermediate)
            SchIII (Master level)

  • Schutzhund Training phases:
    For each titles, the dog must get a passing score in all three phases:
    tracking, obedience, and protection.
