Local access to the sport
Central Point dog owners can use RVSC as a practical way to explore Schutzhund without needing to build a training group from scratch.
Central Point handlers interested in IGP can connect with RVSC at our Medford training days.

The sport combines tracking, obedience and protection into one demanding test of temperament, training and teamwork. A successful dog is not simply intense; the dog must be clear, controllable and willing to work with the handler.
Central Point dog owners can use RVSC as a practical way to explore Schutzhund without needing to build a training group from scratch.
Good IGP work starts with engagement, reward systems, focus, confidence and clear handling before the dog is asked to do more difficult work.
For committed teams, club training can help prepare dogs and handlers for the standards required in IGP routines and trial settings.
RVSC does not hold a separate Central Point training day. Club training meets in Medford.
Possibly. Young dogs may start with engagement, confidence, obedience foundations and age-appropriate exposure. Contact the club before visiting.
Tell us what you want to do with your dog and what training you have already done. We can help you decide whether visiting a club day makes sense.
Contact the club before coming out so we can point you in the right direction and help you understand what to bring.
