Main Stream Clubs are clubs that cater for the public and our breeders. Activities include, but are not limited to, puppy socialization, basic training, protection training, training for breed qualifications etc.

Specialist Sport Clubs are generally small and specifically cater for those members that practice dog sport on a competitive basis, which is based on the IGP test, formerly known as SchH or IPO. Generally, here the aim is to train dogs that qualify for the WUSV World Championships and then to go and compete there.

The article "Training your dog in the Federation – what’s it all about?" explains it all in more detail.

We regret that we do not as yet have clubs in all provinces, and future expansion will depend on members in various areas forming new clubs. Our clubs are not commercial training schools, but are run by members on a voluntary basis.
