Events: Showcasing the Versatility of the Breed
The German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis and Saint Paul is committed to promoting the German Shepherd Dog and the future of the breed. The club does so in a
variety of ways, beginning with socialization classes for young puppies, offering regular puppy and obedience training classes, and celebrating our members' numerous
accomplishments at our Annual Awards Banquet and with brags on Facebook as they compete at all levels of Conformation, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Herding, Scent Work
and more. We honor their therapy and service work that benefits our community. Reach out and find out how you can join the fun!
As a regional club of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, we support and encourage exhibiting and participating in events at AKC-recognized shows and matches
given by other dog clubs.
We encourage and hold programs that educate and support the German Shepherd dog owner, as well as start newcomers into the sport of dog show exhibiting, and
performance trials. In addition, we promote the German Shepherd Dog through promotions, such as benching at the Minnesota State Fair, and holding our own specialty
shows and matches, and other events.
As a large club, we have tremendous experience and resources for the German Shepherd enthusiast to participate in and learn from. Lastly, we are committed to the
German Shepherd Dog for what he was created to be; a loyal companion and friend.
Monthly Club Meetings
The German Shepherd Dog Club of Mpls & St. Paul meets on the second (2nd) Friday of every month at Animal Inn Training
Center unless otherwise posted.

Andrea Lane and the team are pleased to invite you to our Pointy-Eared Training Monthly Socialization and Obedience Workshops.
Got an issue you'd like to work on,
or just want to practice your current skills, and learn some new ones? We can help!
At this workshop students will have fun training with ideas that they learn
at the workshop and practice during the month. Your dog will be wagging its tail as it learns to work with you as the pack leader guiding the team. This is a positive
and confidence building training for your German Shepherd.
The purpose of these workshops is to introduce you to the other local German Shepherd owners in a relaxed environment while improving socialization/obedience
skills and knowledge. Students of all levels are welcome.

AKC Scent Work is a sport that mimics the task of working detection dogs to locate a scent and communicate to the handler that the scent has been found. Real-life detection dogs are trained to search for a variety of things–drugs, explosives, human remains, currency, other contraband, living humans (such as for Search and Rescue), and much more. AKC Scent Work takes this amazing working relationship and turns it into a fun game that any dog can play.
