Maximum K9 Service will be doing a Schutzhund demonstration which will include
obedience,dumbbell retrieval, tracking, and protection work and a detection demonstration.

Schutzhund tests should be suitable for a wide variety of tasks: police work, specific odor
detection, search and rescue, and many others. The purpose of Schutzhund is to identify dogs
that have or do not have the character traits required for these demanding jobs. Schutzhund
work concentrates on three parts. Many familiar with the obedience work of the American
Kennel Club’s affiliates will recognize the first two parts, tracking and obedience. The
Schutzhund standards for the third part, protection work, are similar to those for dogs in police

ownership to their owners.
