Arizona Schutzhund Club formerly the Arizona Valley Schutzhund Club meet in the East Valley and serve working dogs and their owners from all over the state.  While we remain a small group (about 14 members), we have members as far away as Show Low and Tucson.  Victoria Hall, who has been training and breeding Dobermans for almost 30 years is our director.

  

We are officially a member of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America and abide by the trial rules of our national organization.  The sport of Schutzhund originated as a breed test for the German Shepherd Dog and still is.  Our sport combines athleticism and mental strength for both you and your dog.  It is a great way to enjoy your dog and affords a valuable opportunity to create a strong bond between you.  A variety of other breeds have joined the GSD in the sport and participate in our Club; Dobermans, Malinois and American Bulldogs, just to name a few. 

 

Josh Zapparolli, a USA regional class helper consults with us and provides training seminars monthly in both obedience and protection.  Chris Burns and Julia Franklin, certified by the UScA  are our club helpers who work in protection with us during our bi-weekly training sessions.
