About This Website

I have been training in Schutzhund since 2001. In that time, I have titled my own dog, Bodeus, from 8 weeks to SchH3 IPO3 FH UD NA CGC TC AD WUSV. Even though I still consider myself a relative novice, I am often asked how I train, what I feed, what equipment I use and how I feel about Schutzhund. So I began writing articles on Bodeus' website www.bodeus.com.

By suggesting to the United Schutzhund Clubs of America that it would be nice to see some articles in the magazine for new Schutzhund participants, I volunteered myself quite by accident to refine some of the articles so they could be used in the magazine. The obedience exercises were printed in Sept/Oct 2005, and I received several emails asking for more information. Bodeus was getting fed up with me using his website for my articles, so I thought I would start a new site. I am hoping that it will be helpful to new people to the sport and maybe some that are less new!

I train the beginning of almost every exercise using a clicker, but I also use other methods. I believe in a well rounded approach to training and feel that the use of all possible training tools - tailored to the dogs' individual temperament and abilities leads to the best outcome. You will see almost all clicker training on this site, since it can all be taught with a clicker, and I think it is the best way for novice trainers to get started. I hope they manage to find themselves a club as open-minded and supportive as my first club.

All the pictures on the site have additional information about them as alt-text, which you can see if you move the mouse over the image. In Firefox, you will need to right click and select properties to see the text.

The website is not complete yet, I hope to add some more information, pictures and videos in the near future.

Enjoy your visit. Let me know if you have any suggestions: louise.jollyman@schutzhund-training.com

Happy Training!
