I find that Ringsport is more intense then ShH(Shutzhund)
I'm more into the SchH..My GSD is SchH III titled..My niece has her Black Russian Terrier SchH III titled..A co-worker is on the last phase of having his second Dobie titled..And I know others who are into SchH..
With SchH the dog must pass their BH(Obedience) before going into SchH. And they also go through Temperment Testing.
There are 3 phases. Tracking, Obedience and Protection.
Teaching the dog to "attack" on command is not a bad thing per say...The attack is not a "rip the person apart" attack..It's actually "bite" work...They are tought to "bite" and "hold" not tear apart.....This is why an aggressive dog would never pass this phase. They are not looking for aggression.
People think that dogs trained in this are dangerous, not true at all..They are still loyal loving dogs...And my GSD is a retired Police Dog and is nothing but a suck...LOL
I would get your friend to look into SchH..How old are his dogs?
