About Club Training
WHWDC is not like the typical obedience, agility or
similar group training clubs or classes where you might expect to
pay for the services of a trainer or instructor to teach you. As
Schutzhund consists of three phases (tracking, obedience and
protection) each phase may take a considerable amount of time to
learn. Our members are here to help facilitate your training, to
teach you about the sport and offer support throughout the learning
process. However, members are ultimately responsible for the
progression of their training.
WHWDC trains using predominantly positive methods
and incorporates many different techniques for optimum results.
Training progress and plans are
discussed with each member before and/or after each training
session. Individual attention is given
to each handler and dog team based on their ability, drive and
training needs. As each team is unique, assessments are made and
different training methods may be utilized to achieve optimum
results. We strive
for members to achieve their desired goals and develop the dog and
handler team's maximum potential to compete at whatever level or
venue they so desire. At
WHWDC we feel that strengthening the partnership and bond between
the dog and handler. Being a responsible dog owner with a model canine citizen should be
considered the ultimate achievement. Titles and accomplishments are
icing on the cake.
