Schutzhund work is supposed to be fun for the dog, and actually build confidence. One last von Stephanitz quote:

"There are any amounts of punishment a thoughtful trainer can discover...reproof, or with-holding praise, is the mildest and are sufficient in the majority of cases...a short jerk on the collar...a clod of dirt thrown at a dog not working close...the whip the last, most drastic and never anything but a light switch, never the leash, never the hand, never during a walk, and never for very long, the owner always with the whip testifies to his own incapacity. A whipping should never be unless absolutely necessary, many dogs cannot bear it and are ruined, others may need or endure it, but it doesn't affect them at all. The whip must first be shown as a threat, or cracked, if applied, done only on the flanks, never the back or sides."
