Schutzhund

Schutzhund is a German word meaning "protection dog."
Wolfy is a natural.
Wolfy and I have a game we always play called helicopter. When I say helicopter she will jump off the ground and stay in a horizontal position. She will then rotate 360 degrees up to six feet off the ground and take my arm in her mouth. She will stop doing this on command and release my arm. She loves to do this. Yesterday Wolfy and I climbed a mountain and she was so happy to be climbing again she did ten multiple helicopters at the start of the climb without me even saying helicopter.
The military and police train their dogs to do this apprehending the enemy or a criminal although their movements aren't as sophisticated as Wolfy's. It is the most difficult training a military patrol dog or police dog undergoes.
I have no doubt Wolfy on command will be a good "Schutzhund" for her master if he is in danger and it will not be a game.

Without menses-malice.
