What is IPO/Schutzhund?

Schutzhund (German for "protection dog") is a dog sport that was developed in Germany in the early 1900s as a breed suitability test for the German Shepherd Dog.

Why choose DVG America?

DVG is the only Schutzhund dog sport club that is not breed-specific. If your dog can do the sport, we accept it.
