I was wondering, How would you start up a New Schutzhund Club? I live here in Juneau, Alaska, And i would like to know what all I would have to do to try to start one up. Who would I have to talk too. What the cost be to start one up.
There are a couple of different SchH organizations in this country. USA, DVG, WDA. Contact those different groups and they should have some answers for you.
Remember that the key to a good club is the membership and the helper's abilities. Not just the organization you go with.
I would like to do a USA, I guess I don't know what the others are at all. Sorry I am really new to this sport and I would like to have more people come into the sport in this area. Because there is none
Over the past couple of years I've lived through the transition from group of friends training with a guru to USA affiliate to training club. Just going by my experience I think finding people who want to train and a good training helper should come before officially joining USA or DVG. We rushed things here and had to step back and re-group.
Also make sure you have sufficient space to train the darn dogs. A field at least an acre will suffice. May want to get someone who knows how to set blinds up with enough space between them or build them (wood).
A neutral training ground seem more appropriate. I know one of the biggest thing with landowners who are club members, there tends to be some ideology that despite club officers being in the club, their land is their land and what they says goes (yes this happens, I know first hand ::shrugs:
USA requires 5 members if no one has said that already. They also require you to write out a set up bylaws that the club will adhere to (hopefully)
Focus also on quality of training and the dogs that come out and less on the people. That's another important factor to get away from the social, gossip club ordeals.
Hmmm.... what else <img src="http://www.leerburgkennels.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> thinking.....
Training field (approximately the size of a football field). It doesn't have to be a permanent "club field". It could be a public park, the local high school, etc (with permission, of course).

Scratch pants
Whips/sticks
Dumbells
1 meter hurdle
2 meter scaling wall (A-frame)
