I'm not saying the pit fighters pay for classes they just do it on their own and not as a sport as a training method. We have the pole with the rope and toy and Joey loves it but we don't pull it that hard and don't hang him from it. They had one at bff and Joey just loves it. |
Oh yeah there are definitely those idiots that do that and have NO idea what they are really doing
but Schutzhund isn't really about that so much. It's more for those who want their dogs in personal protection which not many dogs are actually qualified to do... it's a pretty serious sport though not something your average joe can just do every other weekend or something (like agility for example).
Like said above, Yorkies are already so fearless, I wouldn't want them getting hurt or killed trying to protect me. I want to protect them ya know? So yeah I would say for most Yorkies, it's not the best sport! haha
