what about bitework and other items along those lines

its best when the gound moist dosnt mater what the surface is like because the sent sticks better thats why its best to start early

sec k9s come under different rule to you every day k9s when they are working they come under a simular banner as gide dogs (spelling), sniffer dogs and so on they can go places that normal dogs cant and not spose to be tuched by the public when working other than that i cant say much more towards the legal side of it as i am from vic but the main advice i can give you is talk to a local handler or even better there manager because but if you do need to were a muzzle when you work you get a muzzle made with a quick release clip you can get them off very quick with the right release system in vic you just need a security lic to own a sec k9 and that covers most of the problems with the dangerous dog act

have a chat with a few handlers and trainer if you can and ask them they will always tell you black and white because if they are serious enough about what they do they would have done the research about it

with sec k9 its up top your local council in vic some have a permit some dont you just have to chat to them and with the dog runs they have to have roofs and min of 6ft cant remb the rest of the dimentions that side of thing you follow the dangerous dog act i think they also have to have a secondary fence around the pen

a friend of my boss is a female handler and she has a very good mal and they both do well in comps i dont think its male dominant sport i think its a sport that female unfortanly choose not to do for different reasons

the way i make mine is 1/3 meat to 2/3 veggies and fruit and table scraps nice and easy and if you want to put in extra on it you can

i have talked to some trainers about it some dont want dogs to were muzzles because if they get attacked by another dog they can not protect them selves its not done the image in there cases but they also put it back onto the owner to make the choice for them self

some times it can be skin iratation (spelling) my dads dod a quaterzone injections to stop her from licking her paws

if they are a correct fit they can drink to many people get the wrong muzzle for there dog they are hard to find but try k9 force he has them i had to get mine made

bump good topic for others to follow help to change more minds

my rott does it but he pees on every thing and any thing i thinks it is because he can

thanks kavik i couldnt rember wereit was

the law state i cant quote it directly that if you feel that your life is threatened and the dog bites the person it is classed as self defence not a dangerous there is more to it but thats the short version

its also hard for the clubs some times because they need to screen the people that join the club so they are not there for another reason and those type of people ruin it for the clubs

their was a joint thing between the gsd and rott clubs but i dont know much more than that

the only way it would change is if we could change peoples proception on the sport not many people know what it takes to work a shutzhund or law enforcment dog because it is not some thing you see all the time its like with my rott he is a sec dog i have to be very carful of what i say because most people think the worst of me doing it

have a look for the innotek site they have realy good set ups and at a good price

steve austin said the trainer was a friend of his and from euro so i cant say more than what he told me

i know in aust it is restricted as far as i know

i had never seen or herd of it ether i just think it would be cool to see i dont think its restricted i read some thing that they are set into groups so they wouldnt compete against rotts dobes mel and gsd and i think there is 1 more breed in that group

i was talking to steve austin on the weekend at a seminar he did a trainer he knows bc's have a sh3 the highest shutzhund ranking

get a dog mat they are big enough to go under the couch to be hidden

hasnt any one seen any of this

does any one have a videos or pics of border collies doing shutzhund in europe i have been told about them doing the bite work part of shutzhund as they normaly they only compete in ob and tracking
