The BVDT Obedience Course can teach your dog:
-
Basic Obedience - Sit, down, stay, come, and heel. While most other basic obedience courses teach these commands on leash, our basic program also trains your dog to obey off leash!
-
Distraction proofing - Not only will your dog learn basic commands, but it will learn to obey anywhere and anytime regardless of what distractions may be around.
-
Problem Solving - Problems such as jumping on people, chewing on objects, barking, digging, aggression towards other dogs or people, fear opt the vet, etc…. can all be fixed or prevented.
PROTECTION
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Personal Protection is the difference between a good night's sleep or not in these scary times. BVDT can develop the confidence your dog to protect you and your family when it counts. Personal protection has nothing to do with a dog that is aggressive towards people. Most dogs that are aggressive towards people act in fear and will flee or cower when placed under extreme stress. A great personal protection dog is one that can socialize with friends, family and strangers, but is ready to go to work when called on.
SCHUTZHUND
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Schutzhund is a dog sport first developed in Germany in the early 1900's as a breed suitability test. The word itself means "protection dog". It is a 3 phase sport known internationally now as IPO. The 3 phases are tracking, obedience and protection. Each phase is worth 100 pts. for a total of 300 pts. possible. To earn a title each dog/handler team must pass each phase with at least a 70 in each phase. There are also 3 levels of IPO, each increases with difficulty developed carefully to test for traits such as intelligence, courage, work ethic, temperament, biddability, as well as scent ability in working dogs.
