In
addition to joining as an individual GSDCA-WDA
member, we encourage our members to join or form
local GSDCA-WDA
training clubs. Schutzhund training is ideal for the club
or group atmosphere where equipment is available and experienced
trainers can share their understanding of the sport. Clubs
offer an opportunity for you to become involved in the
very challenging and rewarding sport of Schutzhund. Any number of
personal goals can be fulfilled such as recreation,
competition, a better understanding of dog
training, or simply the development
of a dog into a sound, well-rounded companion.

in the GSDCA-WDA, we strongly recommend that you also join
our parent organization, the German Shepherd Dog Club of
America by also completing the GSDCA
Membership Application.
