Start Free, Upgrade AnytimeSchutzhund — German for "protection dog" — was developed in Germany in the early 1900s as a breed suitability test for the German Shepherd Dog. The goal was simple: prove that a dog had the temperament, drive, and trainability to work.
Today the sport is known as IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshund Prüfungsordnung) and is governed by the FCI. It tests dogs across three phases: Tracking (A), Obedience (B), and Protection (C) — each scored out of 100 points. A dog must earn at least 70 in every phase to pass.
Titles progress from the BH (companion dog test and traffic test) through IGP1, IGP2, and IGP3, with increasing difficulty at each level. Specialized titles include FH (advanced tracking), and organizations like PSA, French Ring, and KNPV offer alternative protection sport formats.
Major organizations in the US include the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA), DVG America, the German Shepherd Dog Club of America — Working Dog Association (GSDCA-WDA), and the PSA (Protection Sports Association).
While IGP was created for the German Shepherd, the sport is open to all breeds. The dogs you'll see on the field represent decades of selective breeding for working ability.
German Shepherd Dog
The foundation breed. Versatile, intelligent, and purpose-built for this work.
Belgian Malinois
Explosive drive and athleticism. Dominant in PSA and increasingly in IGP.
Dutch Shepherd
Hardy and driven. Popular in KNPV and gaining ground in IGP programs.
Rottweiler
Powerful and confident. Strong in protection with natural guarding instinct.
Doberman Pinscher
Athletic and sharp. Excels in obedience with natural elegance.
Giant Schnauzer
Bold and territorial. Less common but capable across all three phases.
DogSport exists to make working dog sport better — for the dogs, for the handlers, and for the community. We believe that structured training built on positive control and clear communication produces confident, empowered dogs and stronger partnerships.
The working dog sports — IGP, Schutzhund, PSA, and beyond — are built on a foundation of understanding canine behavior, developing drive through fair methods, and proving a dog's temperament through real-world testing. These sports promote responsible ownership, breed preservation, and a deeper awareness of what dogs are truly capable of.
We built DogSport to give this community the tools it deserves. Every training session tracked, every trial score recorded, every handler empowered to see their dog's progression and make better decisions about their training.
Better tools. Better training. Better dogs.
We're building digital scoring for IGP judges. No more paper scoresheets, no more manual data entry, no more waiting days for results.
