Jim and Kelly are members of the Kenai Schutzhund Club, in Anchorage, Alaska. Schutzhund is a working dog sport which requires successful completion of three distinct phases: tracking, protection and obedience. It provides an opportunity for the owners to train and compete with each other for recognition of both the handler's ability to train, and the dog's ability to perform as required.The dogs range in age from 3 1/2 to 9 years, and have been in training since they were puppies.
