Please Read...Before you join any K-9 training venue, please do your homework. Contact local vets, animal control folks, speak with established trainers in the area, and then see the organization for yourself. We are aware that there are some LIARS and TROUBLE MAKERS out there posting false claims against the club and some members. It comes with the "job" as those who don't have success or those who have nothing seem to be the voices of "issue." Then there's the spineless folks who post with false names and claims! We have always welcomed interested guests and perspective members to see the club and talk with any current member about how they like this organization. Even coin has two sides... Memberships and Related Questions What does it take to become a member?

You will also be required to complete a four consecutive training sessions with us. This helps us assess your skills and to see if you and your dog fit into our club. We'll let you know one way or the other. While we are a German Shepherd Dog Club, we will offer protection work with other approved breeds.

Due to the nature and the higher degree of risk of this training, no child under the age of 18 may attend. Parents can't sign away the liability of a child. Because children mature at different rates, some may not know how to properly respond to a "loose dog" issue or how to meet a high drive puppy. Parents get the training and then showcase it at home!

It can't be any better than that!
