About ACSC
The Alameda County Schutzhund Club is dedicated to protecting and preserving the German Shepherd Dog’s (and other breeds) working heritage through Schutzhund (German for "protection dog”) training. Schutzhund (now called IGP) is a sport that focuses on developing and evaluating those traits in dogs that make them more useful and happier companions to their owners.
ACSC values a sense of purpose, family and of course the safety, health, and happiness of our dogs.
Through training we feel a closer bond, better communication, and improved control. Confidence and consistency are increased in both human and dog.
We value good people and having fun too!
Our primary purpose is to train all dogs and handler/owner teams to trial in the sport of IGP.
All training philosophies will be based on this sport, and our expectation is that all who train with us will work towards participating in IGP and titling their dogs in the sport.
