About our Training Director, Lance Collins (News)
May 9, 2011
 Print
Lance Collins Schutzhund resume Lance Collins has been actively involved in the dog sport exclusively as a hobby since 1980. An active competitor, Lance qualified for WUSV World Championships nine times with four different dogs, all self trained and titled. His highest placing at the WUSV WM was 4th place with Dune v Bergblick, a dog he bred, raised and trained.
Lance’s training success is not limited to just his own dogs. Lance spends much of his free time training others in his club. Over the last 20 years handlers from his club have repeatedly won the Canadian Championships. Seven different handlers from his club have participated at the WUSV championships over 20 times, resulting in a number of top 10 places.
Recognized as an innovative and systematic trainer and teacher who utilizes proven learning principles, he has conducted many seminars in Germany, USA, Australia and Canada. He has drawn experience from working closely with Jurgen Ritzi, Reinhard Linder and Elmar Mannes (SV).
Helper work has been a big part of the dog sport for Lance and he has been active as a training, trial and teaching helper. He was selected to do the helper work at the Canadian SchH3 Championship four times.
Lance began judging in Canada in 1990. He judged protection at the 2009 WUSV World Championships, and tracking at the 2000 WUSV World Championships. He has judged other major events such as the North American, the Canadian and the Australian Championships.
Lance started breeding German Shepherd dogs in 1985 under the kennel name of Haus Bergblick. At one point dogs from his breeding won the Canadian championships for 5 consecutive years. Dogs from his breeding have placed in the top ten at the WUSV World Championships a number of times. |
