Schutzhund titles

Schutzhund is a dog training sport that tests a dog's obedience, agility, tracking, and protection skills. Titles awarded at various levels recognize the dog’s proficiency in these areas, such as BH (Begleithunde or companion dog test), I (IPO1, stringent obedience and protection), II (IPO2), and III (IPO3). Achieving these titles demonstrates a well-trained, balanced working dog capable of control, agility, and controlled protection work, often used for police or service work. The titles serve as benchmarks of a dog’s training and temperament, emphasizing balance between drive, focus, and responsiveness.
