Schutzhund Training in Southern Oregon
RVSC provides Medford-based Schutzhund / IGP club training for serious Southern Oregon handlers.
Training Area
Southern Oregon Schutzhund training based in Medford
Rogue Valley Schutzhund Club is a Medford-based club serving handlers throughout Southern Oregon. If you are searching for Schutzhund training in the region, RVSC gives you a place to learn the sport around people who understand working dogs and the responsibility that comes with them.
Schutzhund, now commonly called IGP, includes tracking, obedience and protection. The sport rewards clear communication, stable temperament, commitment and the handler’s ability to guide the dog through pressure without losing control.
More than protection
The sport develops the whole dog. Tracking, obedience and protection each reveal important pieces of the dog’s character and training.
Come prepared to learn
New handlers should expect to observe, ask questions and understand the club culture before jumping into advanced work.
Training location note: The club meets in Medford. Southern Oregon pages are written so regional handlers can find RVSC while still making the actual training location clear.
