A 2009 training day focused on engagement and motivation.
The collection shows several dogs learning to stay connected to their handlers through movement, tug rewards and structured play. Those exercises help build the focus and motivation that carry into obedience and the higher-drive phases of Schutzhund training.
The photographs also preserve the atmosphere of an early RVSC training day, with multiple handlers, different breeds and club members working together on the same field.
