Phoenix-area working dog handlers are welcome to pursue IGP training with RVSC in Medford.
Training Area
A Medford club option for Phoenix-area working dogs
Phoenix handlers looking for Schutzhund or IGP training do not need to train in isolation. Rogue Valley Schutzhund Club meets in Medford and welcomes serious working dog owners from Phoenix who want to learn the sport correctly.
The sport is built around a complete picture of the dog: nose work in tracking, focus and precision in obedience, and confidence with control in protection. Each phase requires patience, repetition and a handler who is willing to learn.
Structured development
Club training helps handlers avoid guessing by giving them a place to build foundations, troubleshoot problems and work around other dogs and people.
Protection with control
Protection work is not offered casually. Dogs and handlers are evaluated, and the emphasis is on temperament, safety and obedience under pressure.
Training location note: RVSC training is held in Medford rather than Phoenix. Phoenix is included because local handlers often search by their own city when looking for Schutzhund / IGP training.
