My dog sport career (still just an amateur) continued on a fast pace when I trained three dogs at one time for schutzhund titles. Young non-titled dogs required me to apply various training and handler techniques to bring out the best quality of each and force me to concentrate in areas that needed to be developed. The following titles Bh, AD, SchH1-2-3, IPO3, FH1, FH2, TDX, Show Rating and Korklasse, gave me repeated experience to hone my skills and build a solid foundation. Mücke vom Haus Vortkamp is a product of what I have learned to date.

Each time I trial my overall picture is one that I hope a great deal of people will stand tall and notice. Perfect tracking, perfect obedience, perfect protection work. We know this is near impossible but as a handler each discipline is carefully thought out and with a little bit of luck a solid performance will result. Controlling my nerves along with strong competition and helpers bring out the very best in both my dog and me.
