Private training student "Rutger" demonstrates his intense focus during training for his Schutzhund Bh. His handler has learned how to apply positive training to generate lively, enthusiastic obedience. Jump Start Board and Train graduate "Bela" demonstrates her long down on variable surface/height. 18-month-old "Titan" demonstrates his lively Schutzhund-style heeling during Custom Team Training for his Schutzhund Bh. Titan is progressing quickly under his owner's skillful handling toward their team goal of Schutzhund sport competition and titling. Custom Training student "TJ" demonstrates his obedience under significant distraction. A mature German Shepherd Dog with a history of being bounced in and out of shelter and multiple home placements, newly adopted TJ and his owner came to NorthWest K9 with some unique challenges. Priority behavioral challenges included lifelong behaviors of over-reacting to other dogs and to loud engines. TJ and his handler have achieved great success in their team training; here he's demonstrating his calm long down in the midst of heavy vehicular traffic.
