In addition to joining as an individual GSDCA-WDA member, we encourage our members to join or form local GSDCA-WDA training clubs.  Schutzhund training is ideal for the club or group atmosphere where equipment is available and experienced trainers can share their understanding of the sport.  Clubs offer an opportunity for you to become involved in the very challenging and rewarding sport of Schutzhund.  Any number of personal goals can be fulfilled such as recreation, competition, a better understanding of dog training, or simply the development of a dog into a sound, well-rounded companion.
