Hey all, I am sort of new to the forum so bear with me. This will probably be long.
But anyways, I have a 18 month old red girl and am interested in doing some bitework, not the full schtuzhund training,
(she would be a good tracker but its not anything I have time or interest in)
She has some issues she is going through currently
(Long story short she was a return after a week and a half to my breeder/boss for "lack of time", who was a confident top pick pup when she left and afraid of men and unsure of strangers after, and became a failed foster in my home)
She has made leaps and bounds
(Now sits in my dads lap and knows "watch me" perfectly, as well as "thats enough")
and is wonderful at tugging and giving me full bites on ropes and the sleeve we have at work. She just loves to get the sleeve, and i think that getting her into the bitework would give her that on/off switch of sorts to understand there is a time and place to react as well as a bit more confidence in herself again.
So anyways I have been trying to find some decent bitework/schutzhund trainers in my area of Southeast wiscosin. I have looked at Topps kennel (the breeder used to work with luis a lot but has moved to agility in the past few years) and Global K-9 in illinois but wonder if there is something a little closer or if anyone knows hos good the trainers there are, and i also hear there is a trainer in Cedar grove,WI but havent been able to find anything in google searches.
Thanks for any and all the help!! :thanx:
