I read somewhere that she didn't do the training, just the handling. My sister did a similar thing when she was about 11 and did a trial with dads retired Schutzhund 3 dog.
Good
PR though.
I'd have no problems letting my child train in Schutzhund so long as the trainers and dogs were sensible. I've been immersed in the Schutzhund world since before I was born and never felt unsafe.
The only time I ever feel unsafe around a dog is when we get crazy pet dogs in for training. The worst we had was a pair of tiny Sausage Dogs a couple of months ago. One was ok the other was a nightmare. I was terrified of getting them out the kennel!
Schutzhund is deceptively safe.
