“Schutzhund” Training for Dobermans
"Schutzhund", meaning “protection dog” in German, is a world-renowned dog sport that tests a dog’s tracking, obedience, and protection skills. "Schutzhund" is now embraced by many working breeds, including our intelligent and loyal Doberman.
What Is “Schutzhund”?
"Schutzhund" is more than just a sport—it’s a comprehensive test of a dog’s mental stability, trainability, and working drive. It helps identify dogs with the right balance of courage, control, and character.
Dobermans excel in "Schutzhund" thanks to their:
-
High intelligence
-
Strong work ethic
-
Natural protective instincts
-
Deep bond with their handler
-
High play drive
The Three Phases of “Schutzhund”
-
Tracking
The dog follows a scent trail laid by a person, locating small items along the way. This phase tests concentration, endurance, and scenting and obedience ability. -
Obedience
The dog performs precise commands like heel, sit, down, recall, and retrieve—even under distraction. It showcases discipline and responsiveness. -
Protection
The dog must identify and confront a “helper” (decoy), show courage, and demonstrate controlled aggression. It includes guarding, bite work, and releasing on command.
Level of Achievement
Dogs can earn titles at three levels:
-
SchH1 (IGP1) – Level 1
-
SchH2 (IGP2) – Level 2
-
SchH3 (IGP3) – Level 3
Before entering Schutzhund trials, dogs must pass the BH-VT exam (Begleithund), which evaluates basic obedience and temperament in public settings.
Why “Schutzhund” sport is so popular?
“Schutzhund-trained” dogs are among the most obedient and stable. Sport emphasizes control, discipline, and teamwork. It’s a rewarding journey for both dogs and handlers. Over the years, “Schutzhund” has continually evolved, integrating innovative training techniques that enhance motivation and strengthen emotional connection.
