Training Schedule At The Marysville Schutzhund Club

Training takes place on Tuesday mornings at 9am and Saturdays at 8am.

       We begin the morning with tracking, living in a largely farm community, we have an exceptionally generous supply of fields, orchards, and farm land that is ideal for Schutzhund tracking.


       After tracking, we begin our obedience portion of the training day. Depending upon the needs of the dog and the owner, we split our obedience into several different sections. For those new to the sport and new to dog handling, we have a large group exercise on the field that gives both dog and handler experience and socialization. It is a great way to introduce the dog to other people and dogs in a controlled environment. After the group exercises, we pair off into teams and perform BH and Schutzhund routines, depending upon the level of the dog.


       The final part of the day is dedicated to protection. We have an excellent group of young dogs that are excelling in protection work as well as older dogs that have already earned titles. It is fun to see the progression each week as these dogs get better and better.
