Some photos of training fun at SRSC...


You know it's going to be a bad training day when....



...the dog eats through the crate.


OK, I need to throw out the disclaimer that
SchH trained dogs do not show inappropriate aggression. 
However, when the dogs make a display of courage and the photographer is lucky enough to capture the moment, it makes for a beautiful sight.

"Ripley" indicates an article while tracking on a gorgeous fall day




Linda's rottie Zeus has his ears a' flappin' when he charges in for a hold and bark on Jason

Jason's SchH dog Ozzy is also his police dog.
Joe puts on the suit and hopes that Ozzy has a secure transport.  ;)

Just for the record, most of these photos are from the Protection phase of training because as an amateur photographer they are the most challenging to shoot and I enjoy the practice. 
And yeah... grip work is just damn cool to watch.
