I need some advice. I recently took my dogs to Schutzhund training for the first time to see if it was something they would be interested in, and if it was something that I wanted to do. Of course, I have 2 male German Shepherds, and I am very interested in the sport, however, I was completely discussed at what I witnessed. I have studied dogs and dog behavior for the past 5 years, and I love my dogs. They do what I ask, and I rarely have any major issues. The people that were training their dogs, however, were literally beating their dogs. One guy got mad at his dog, took his hat off and just kept hitting the dog. On top of that, the dog had a device strapped to its body that if the dog did not keep his body close to his owner, he got shocked. The same guy was telling another owner that when hos dog was in the middle of the jump over the wall, he was to jerk the leash hard. Is this the actual way to train for Schutzhund?
