What is the difference between Schutzhund training and Personal Protection training?
A. There are a few differences between a Personal Protection dog and a Schutzhund trained dog. While Schutzhund dogs can compete for titles, trophies, and ribbons, their protection work is geared almost exclusively for competitions. This protection sometimes leaves something to be desired in real-life settings and situations that our Clients might encounter. Another difference is that our dogs are not trained in tracking since this would increase training time, thereby increasing costs. Additionally, a Personal Protection dog is trained to listen to no one but their owners/handlers.
