 Precisely what was needed and concisely done. February 11, 2000

Training for Schutzhund has been an art passed on by club members. Most of the successful trainers in this sport are not as effective as teachers for the adult human. This book has bridged the gap providing effective communication to the handler on how to communicate effectively with the Schuthund dog.

Too often in the dog sports we find ourselves looking for answers to training problems. There are many good books that give an overview of schutzhund, but not many that get down to the meat of things. I received my copy of this book just a few days before a trial and found myself thumbing through the book to find a solution to a pre-trial problem with my dogs Guard and Bark. Ivan and Karen's well thought out book, not only pointed out where my problem came from, but offered a solution. Not many fixes work that easy, but I walked away with a Sch II on my Malinois after the trial was over. Advanced Schutzhund will be in the equipment bag along with the sleeves and the dumbells from now on.

In my opinion, this book will NOT take you from buying and raising your first puppy to the trial field. I believe, it assumes you have many basic training methods already in place, ie. how to train tracking. IT IS an Excellent ADVANCED Schutzhund book.

This book is well written and helps to explain a very complex subject. Ivan's methods are humane and help develope the dog's natural abilities based on the dog's drives. I found this book to be in the same catagory as Helmut Raiser's "Der Schutzhund(translated by Armin Winkler), Gottfried Dildei and Sheila Booth's "Schutzhund Obedience" and Sheila Booth's "Purely Positive Obedience". All three of these books are outstanding and should be a part of every Schutzhund trainer's library. "Advanced Schutzhund" adds the finishing touches to competition training.
Will bring the best out for you and your dog. July 20, 1999

Ivan has proven time and again that his methods have worked well in all areas of training. He has proven in the world of Schutzhund that this can be done by bringing up the standards of high level competition.
