Who we are
We are Central Valley Dog Club located in Sanger, California.
We are a dedicated group of dog sport enthusiasts who train and trial in the sport of IGP(formerly known as IPO or Schutzhund)—a three-phase discipline that tests tracking, obedience, and protection.
While our passion lies with the German Shepherd Dog, we welcome all working breeds and value the diversity they bring to our training field.
Our goal is to preserve and promote the working qualities, sound temperament, and structure of the German Shepherd Dog, while also supporting the broader working dog community.
We're a non-profit organization and proud to be a full member club of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA), within the Northwestern Region.
We’re currently the only full-member USCA club in California’s Central Valley, and we welcome new members who share our commitment to responsible training and the working dog tradition.
