So Cal Working Dog Association, Escondido, CA

Field Rules:

So Cal Working Dog Association is a private club that
welcomes friends in sport. We appreciate the efforts
and dedication of those who train and are happy to allow guests to our Thursday evening sessions. If you are visiting our club for the first time we would prefer that you call ahead; however, if that is not possible we require that you check in upon arrival with a So Cal member and introduce yourself.

Our sessions are available for dogs and handlers who are training towards trialing in the sport of Schutzhund. Dogs must be handled by their owners on the field and handlers are limited to handling their own dogs, i.e., no client dogs or non Schutzhund dogs on the field at any time. We appreciate your full cooperation and know that visitors who wish to join us will appreciate our guidelines as they allow us to make use of our limited time most productively. Happy Training!
