Schutzhund Adventures: April 2010
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. In order to get ready for the July trial, we did a protection benchmark study with Kane a few weekends ago. It sounds very scientific, but it's not. :-) We basically ran through the Schutzhund 1 protection from start to finish. With the e-collar (wouldn't want him to flip out completely). Good Work on true blind search (come back to me) vs just running from blind 1 to 2. Blind approach - Good, no nudging in blind. Bark and Hold -. Needs work. Blind obedience. Courage test - Good.

Schutzhund Adventures: Kane's SchH1 Protection Video
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2011/01/kanes-schh1-protection-video.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. Kane's SchH1 Protection Video. Here is our video of the protection segment of our Schutzhund 1. 82 and pronounced. :-) Now we are busy getting ready to do an OB1 at the end of January in Myrtle Beach. Our Obedience is better than what we did in December, so it's time to trial more and get over the nerves - both for me and Kane! Nice work Lena. He has nice drive and balance! January 10, 2011 at 8:33 AM. Wow Lena, that was great! Hey, was it cold? January 10, 2011 at 1:42 PM. Simpl...

Schutzhund Adventures: We did it - SchH 1 for Kane!
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2010/12/we-did-it-schh-1-for-kane.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. We did it - SchH 1 for Kane! I have this saying posted on the wall next to my desk: "If at first you succeed, try to hide your astonishment - Henry Banks." I subscribe to that completely and it wasn't pretty, but we got it done! We passed our Schutzhund1 with a 70 in tracking, 78 in obedience and an 82 in protection. I'm thrilled that it's over, although it's not a scoring I am happy with. Ah well - just more things to work on, right? Did little loop-di-loops around each corner ...

Schutzhund Adventures: We're ready!
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2010/11/were-ready.html
Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Blind search is ready. Courage test / long bite is ready. If I'm lucky and my nerves don't get to me, I will throw the dumbbell OVER the jump and A-frame instead of INTO it. It's really loud when you do. Plus your dog looks at you like you've lost your mind. Tracking is ready if you can remember where you put your corners. Again, while you ponder this, your dog looks at you as if you've lost your mind. The dog is ready to track at least! We cant wait to see and hear more!

Schutzhund Adventures: Show me your Teeth!
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2010/05/show-me-your-teeth.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Show me your Teeth! Our last two protection practices have been devoted to working on Kane being quiet during protection. He can bark or whine a little, but constant barking needs to be saved for the bark and hold, and for whining.well, who wants to listen to that? In order to work on this, Richard got Kane a little extra riled up. I ended up with this series of pictures courtesy of Maggie borrowing my camera and shooting some pics. Amusing, aren't they?

Schutzhund Adventures: October 2010
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 1, 2010. Hi faithful Schutzhund Adventures readers. We're back. Well, actually we never left, but from the lack of blog postings, you may have thought that we left. Sorry about that. We kind of took the summer off. Too hot to do a lot of training, and we found some important "problems" that will prevent us from trialing until we fix them, so.here we are. The days are finally cooling off a little bit and we are ready to get back at it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Creating Utopia in WV.

Schutzhund Adventures: December 2009
http://i-schutzhund.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 27, 2009. Back in mid November, Richard tried using a new kind of sleeve with Kane. Well, new to us anyway. It has hard patches on both sides of the (desired) bite area. The idea being that it will teach the dog to bite in the preferred spot. Kane has a tendency to bite more towards the elbow if he has a choice. We try to not give him that choice, but.kinda hard when your're doing escape bites and the elbow is just "out there" going "Yoo-hoo! The sleeve worked ok, I think.

Schutzhund Adventures: January 2010

Monday, January 11, 2010. Retrieves on the Flat, jump and A-frame. Check! I'm an A-frame pro, mom! Can I just say how proud I am of my awesome dog? As you know, faithful readers, we have been struggling with the dumbbell for quite some time. I wanted so badly to keep this a motivational exercise (as opposed to forced, which DOES work for some people, and I am using in some parts of protection), knowing that it would take us longer to teach it this way. And it did. It's taken probably close. Wouldn't let ...
