Good for a beginner.
Rules and great descriptions of the sport.
Doesnt give any secrets but good basic information to start in the sport

This book is very good in form as well as function. It describes all of the exercises involved in every level of schutzhund competition as well as explains how to train for each. The exercises are broken down into small, goal oriented objectives that provide an easy to understand (and utilize) format. Highly recommended for beginning or advanced trainers.

This is a fine book on Shutzhund if you desire a general overview of each of the 3 phases, general trial requirements, etc. The authors do a good job of presenting the sport, its background, and its requirements in a logical order. Do not look here if you seek depth in training technique.

I learned so much from this book, so many things, too many to list. There are great tips and training advice to help train your dog correctly for the tracking, obedience and protection. There are nice photos and some diagrams to go by. I recommend this book to any Schutzhund enthusiasts that are beginners like myself. This book introduced Schutzhund methodically.
