Reward Doesn't surprise dogs contact let - off for bring dogs While I understood the reasoning, it wasn't the way I wanted to live with dogs. I enjoy seeing dogs run free together on the farm, play the sand at the beach, sack out on the couch while we watch a movie, sleep at the foot of bed, and kiss friends and family who visit. I made the conscious decision for all of shepherds to be pets first and Schutzhund dogs second, a choice I have made for myself, family, and dogs. Brown says it best, I've decided to devote the rest of life to making dog happy. Our dogs are beloved family members who we have dedicated our life to raising and training. Schutzhund is a sport which rewards the partnership between a person and their dog three phases: Tracking, Obedience, and Protection. Schutzhund requires intense level of dedication and commitment to the relationship with your dog. We raise our puppies with positive based training methods and believe that exposure to a multitude of surroundings is of the utmost importance for healthy mental development.
