The dog sport of IGP (Schutzhund) was originally developed in Germany by Rittmeister Max von Stephanitz, who used herding dogs - shepherd dogs - for training as working dogs and founded the "Schaeferhund Verein" (SV) in Germany in 1899, which is the Shepherd Dog Club of Germany. The SV in Germany developed the rules for IGP (Schutzhund) Training in cooperation with the VDH (the German Working Dog

Association) and has continued to update the rules over the years. These rules are the worldwide International Standard for the training and title of IGP (Schutzhund) and were also adopted as the rules for training and examinations of IGP (Schutzhund) in the USA. In a IGP (Schutzhund) trial, the various requirements measure the dog's mental stability, endurance, structural efficiencies, ability to scent, willingness to work, courage, and trainability. As a breed test, the IGP (Schutzhund) title is one of the requirements for a German Shepherd Dog to qualify for performance breeding after the International Standard. This working dog sport offers the ultimate opportunity for all working dog owners to train their dogs and compete against the German Standard for the handler's ability to train and the dog's ability to perform as required. The IGP (Schutzhund) trial has 3 parts: Tracking, Obedience, and Protection. Training & Membership:

Schutzhund Training starts every Sunday at 8:00 AM. We train at the German American Social Club at 2101 SW Pine Island Road (SR 78), Cape Coral, FL 33991. You will find us in the very back behind the building. When attending for the first time, please call (239) 770-1579 to make sure that there is no change in the time or place of training. And please bring a copy of your dog's rabies certificate. As a guest, we would like you to come to at least 6 training sessions in a row so that our trainer can see a development pattern in training. The guest's training fee for 6 weeks is $90.00 for one dog and $5.00 for each additional dog each time you attend. After 6 sessions, you may be eligible for club membership with the trainer’s recommendation. To become a member of our local Schutzhund club, you will also need to become a member of DVG America (The only all-breed dog sport organization). As a local club member, you will receive all of the benefits that our club has to offer to its members:

Member Meetings, which provide an opportunity to discuss questions about your dog with other dog owners. Free training classes for Traffic Sureness, Obedience, Shows, and Protection. Social meetings and fun matches.
