Pacific Coast Working Dog Club

Pacific Coast Working Dog Club Pacific Coast Working Dog Club is a Northern California based Schutzhund Club that trains Sunday mornings in Dixon California.

Our club is open to any working dog, no matter the breed, that has the temperament, sound nerves and drive to do the sport of Schutzhund. Schutzhund is a three phase (tracking, obedience and protection) sport and we passionately promote this philosophy. We all work together as a team to support each other during training so that the members and dog reach their full potential. Our club always welco

mes visitors and potential new members . If you would like to come out and train please contact our Training Director, Chee Lam. The protection phase is the one phase that is the crowd pleaser and the most fun phase. However, our club feels, and since this is a three phase sport, that we should all practice and train in all the phases. With that being said, when visitors, potential new members and members train at our club you may not just train in the protection phase. If you come for protection you must also do the obedience phase too. If you are not interested in doing any protection training and would like to just do Schutzhund tracking and/or Schutzhund obedience you are still more than welcome to come and train with us.

There are soooooo many ways to do things. So. Many. Personally, I do not use heeling sticks and prefer to use techniques that systematically educate the dog on exactly where I want them. There are so many reward styles that either push a dog back or bring them forward and there’s always a reason a dog does something. When you figure out what that reason is, you can you come up with a solution. Most training that uses heeling sticks is considered reactive. The dog reacts to the possibility of the stick being used, however, the dog doesn’t really want to be in the correct position. Reactive training is never the place I want to be because it’s dependent on a threat. That’s not to say I haven’t been there when I can’t think of anything better to do, but I always consider it a failure on my part. The best kind of training is the kind that lasts and lasts and doesn’t need last minute attention right before the trial. People who have dogs who push and forge have taught their dogs to push and forge. The key is with the handling, not the dog. Once the handling changes and the handler realizes what they’re doing to cause these issues, long-term progress is achieved.
