Hey Lex, you can call me Kayla.
Yes, Schutzhund is based on three sections, Tracking, Obidence, and Protection..
A good Schutzhund trainer, will do a temperment test on your girl first, before they start doing bitework.. They wanna test her nerves to make sure she will be sound for the work.
All the temperment test is: you holding Lex on a lead, and the trainer goes back and forth with a tug or burlap sack, and he watches what she does, how she will act, etc. He MIGHT have a stick or a whip, or something like that, to make noise to see if the noise will distract her. latter down the line, they have some one pop off a blank shot up in the air, just for the gun sound noise.

That'll give you alot of info about schutzhund, requirerments, and it'll help you find a club near you.
You'll be very lucky if you find a club in your area... I had to drive 2 1/2hrs for my club, because the trainers I have now, didnt advertise that they did schutzhund work...
