A demonstration of the Schutzhund 1 Protection Routine with Echo van het Vangaart.
This type of training takes alot of time and patience. The dog is off leash, and must therefore be controlled by verbal commands only. The dog is also in protection mode, and must override the desire to attack or bite, unless threatened by the helper or commanded by the handler. At all times the handler must have control of the dog.
Schutzhund was developed by the founder of the German Shepherd Dog, Max Von Stephanitz. It was essentially a tool to assess dogs for police work. There are 3 phases which the dog and handler teams are evaluated. These are, Tracking, Obedience and Protection. There are also 3 levels of the assessment, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, with each level being more difficult in ascending order.
In the Protection phase, the routine simulates a dog being sent in search of a perpetrator, who is hiding. Upon discovery, the dog barks to alert the handler that the perpetrator has been found. The handler walks to where the dog has found the perp, and calls the dog away. He then tells the perp to come out of his hiding place. The perp does so, but, he then tries to escape, by running away. The dog then attacks the perp with the first bite. The perp tries to fight the dog off, but as soon as he stops, the handler commands the dog to release. As the dog releases, he guards the perp. The perp then tries to attack the dog, hoping to throw the dog off so that he can escape. The dog bites again, and when the perp stops fighting, the dog is again commanded to release. The handler then makes his way to the dog guarding the perp, and instructs the perp to step back (similar to an arrest). The handler then heels the dog to the side of the perp, disarms the perp, and transports them to law enforcement. The final part of the routine is a test of courage for the dog, where the dog is sent after a perp, only this time the perp is not running away, but actually advancing towards the d

A couple of our dogs recently participated at the TTKC All Breed Championship Show on Saturday 29th October 2022.
QAMARO VAN HET FALCONSNEST, our imported male from Belgium placed 1st in the Open Class Rottweiler Males category at the show.
In both of the local shows that Qamaro participated in so far, he is always a crowd favourite.
We would like to thank the TTKC for hosting this indoor show and by extension, Judge Tim Lum Kin, for his fair assessment. We would also like to thank all of our supporters and friends, especially those of the USCTT, for their continuous encouragement. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Here is an edited video of some of the action at the show, featuring Qamaro.
Just some Friday fun at our home with Fabelle van het Vangaart!!! 😁😊❤️🇹🇹

Tuning up the newest guy to the Vangaart Kennel, Qamaro van het Falconsnest!!!
For us the work with the dogs continues regardless of the time or the season. In this video clip, Echo hasn't trained in protection for quite a while, and last night, he showed why Rottweilers love protection work, most of all!!! He didn't miss a beat.
To everyone that follow our page, and especially to our main followers, have a very Merry Christmas 2021!!! Stay Safe!!! 🎅🎄
INTERVIEW ON THE NOW MORNING SHOW, TTT NETWORK
This year there have been a couple of negative incidents, that led to eventual fatalities, featuring the Rottweiler Breed. Firstly, our condolences go out to the families who lost their loved ones, as a result.
It was a pleasure this morning to have the opportunity to portray the Rottweiler Breed in a more positive way. Echo has been with us since his birth, and we begun training and socialization with him from 8 weeks old. Many, many, many hours went into his development, and now he can exhibit what is a well balanced Rottweiler, even on national TV, with people he met for the first time.
We are extremely proud of Echo and what he continues to do for the Breed. He is the local Rottweiler Breed ambassador. 😊❤️
