Does “will not promote aggressive tendencies” mean I cannot compete in Schutzhund?
No. Schutzhund is a three phased sport which emphasizes control. We encourage our owners to become involved in various dog activities and this is no exception. We do however, recommend that you research schutzhund trainers carefully before considering protection training. We also suggest that you establish your dog’s proficiency in both tracking and obedience prior to starting bitework. We do not recommend doing bitework with young puppies, or dabbling in any type of personal protection training. We do not place pups for use in guard work.
