Schutzhund tests tracking, obedience and protection work. Competitors are tested at three levels, each one requiring more determination, skill, intelligence and courage from the dog. The three parts of the sport will be dealt with individually, analyzing specific problems and solutions. The authors use operant conditioning techniques that require only positive reinforcement, and steer clear of harsher training methods.

"Ivan's training comes from the heart, for the dog. He has certainly enhanced my view of training and has taught me many valuable, yet simple techniques to achieve the most from my dogs and myself." ùMary A. Allen, World Championship Competitor, USA Apprentice Judge, USA New England Regional Director

"Ivan Balabanov is among the few top trainers in the country who truly understands dog behavior and drives. He is highly respected by the best Schutzhund competitors, trainers and coaches in the country." ùGlenn Stephenson, United Schutzhund Clubs of America Judge, International competitor

Training methods for the top competitor. Advanced Schutzhund takes a problem-solving approach to Level III work that will help competitors bring their dogs to the highest level.
