Preparation for IGP BH Test

Service Description

The BH test is the first step in the IGP (International Gebrauchshund Prüfung) ladder, which is an international working or practical dog test. The IGP has three titles: IGP1, IGP2, and IGP3. All three titles must be preceded by the BH test. If you think you have higher aspirations and your dog likes to work and has a lot of energy, then this type of training might be for you. This is usually geared towards working dog breeds however other breeds are also welcome. In this beginner course we will focus on building your relationship with your dog. This is basic obedience taken to a more advanced and precise level. It covers basic commands such as sit, down, stand, come, out, etc., including competiton style heeling. It also involves training in real life situations in public areas. The goal of this course is to establish a clear communication between the owner and the dog, to learn handling techniques and to increase the dog's motivation to work. Please keep in mind that each dog is unique and learns at its own pace. This is a long term training commitment. Each session will vary in duration based on your dog's performance. It could last anywhere from 30 minutes and longer. We'll meet 1 to 2 times a week as needed. An initial evaluation will be done to ensure that your dog is suitable for this test.
