Training Without Conflict® Podcast Episode Thirty-Six: Vadim Plotsker
In this episode, I interviewed dog sport competitor, IGP judge, member of the WUSV board of directors, and current United Schutzhund Club of America President, Vadim Plotsker.
I have been wanting to have this conversation for a long time as Vadim has a very unique perspective on the sport of Schutzhund and the German Shepherd dog.
During the conversation we were able to discuss the current state of Schutzhund not only in America, but worldwide.
I was able to find some answers regarding rule changes and the path required for them to become rules in the FCI standard.
We were also able to discuss some of the issues facing the sport of IGP worldwide and potential solutions to those issues.
I learned a ton from this discussion and I am sure you will as well!
