[Tanner's]

So I recently decided with some help from DT that I want to get Tanner's temperament evaluated to see if training in SchH may be an option for us as she is getting bored of obedience.

So I called 9 different "Behaviorists" and None would touch her because she was

A: A Doberman

B: We were interested in SchH

Bahh I was so insulted we don't have a club here and the nearest one I could find online is in Thunderbay Ont. for GSD's

I feel so cheated hahaha

They Obviously don't want my fab dobergirl showing up their labs but really is anyone experiencing this problem?????

A SchH trainer is who should be evaluating her for SchH

I have tried SchH trainers but the ones I found only work with Mals/ GSD's

So I tired Behaviorist that do evaluations and we got turned down

I thought there was a Schh club in Winnipeg area. According to the GSSCC club site there are 2 clubs in Winnipeg.

Those behaviorists sound a little like prima donnas (which is nicer to say than "wussies", or another word that rhymes with that). I don't know why you would be a behaviorist if you're concerned about a special breed or another, or if you're unreasonably concerned about a special kind of training. Are these board certified veterinary behaviorists, or are they just playing them on TV?

Good luck in finding a club/trainer that works for you!

I would be surprised if Jim Chrisp wouldn't work with a Doberman.

Have you thought of looking into French Ring? Here in the states, it's not as widely known, but there's an assortment of breeds trained in it. Here are videos of an APBT French Ring Sport Trial.Pit Bull "Cassie". Ring 3 Object Guard - YouTube and a Doberman "Kaz" Arkan Kazimir Von Rubenhof French Ring Sport Doberman - YouTube

And I can't get the link to work for Canadianringsport.com

Good luck.

Well it 3 were "Canine Academy's " and when we went in it was mostly labs and goldens :/

Yeah we found 2 We were not able to get in touch with one by email or phone and the other worked with GSD's Okie gave me some email's so the adventure continues!

Sometimes you gotta just keep knocking at the door. I belong to the most hardcore Sch club in Canada and it is definitely a GSD club. The truth is that someone has to show strong desire. Go see if you can watch for a few sessions. Then keep going for a few months without being in a hurry to take you dog out. Make yourself useful. Then ask to have your dog looked at. It will also help you decide if you want to put that much of a commitment in.

Yeah I for sure don't want to throw her into the mix straight away, especially with the way people I have met so far have reacted to a "rescued doberman" wanted to get evaluated lol
