In the old days when compulsion was the main mode of training then certainly Schutzhund trainers did not want too muchy obedience as it shut the puppy down before it was developed to the point of being mentally strong enough to handle the pressure. For maturity reasons they also did not start protection training til older. With today's positive methods it makes it a breeze if you start young. Unfortunately many of the "old" methods are still around and that is what people often hear about. Today's trainers have truly advanced the art of dog training to the point we understand so much more on how to motivate the dog by making training FUN FUN FUN s the puppye florishes under the direction and training not get shut down.

Oh for sure I agree with most everyone here! From the very first moment we walk in the front door! After a brief potty break lol;
it was a four hour drive home with Max And the training never stops! Don't buy that old garbage about not teaching an old dog new tricks! Max has learned many new things just in the last few years and I never stop teaching or learning it goes on cradle to grave for all of us! It one of the things that makes life worth living never ever stop learning it goes for the dobermans as well as the peeps!
