DFW Working Dogs is a club organized to promote and compete in the sport of Schutzhund.
However, over the years, members of our club have also competed in other activities
including conformation, DPO, PSA, French Ring, Mondio Ring, AKC Obedience, Agility,
and Tracking, as well as specialized breed sports such as Weight Pull and Catch Dog
events. Our club membership has routinely consisted of a great variety of dogs including
German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Dutch Shepherds, American Bulldogs, and
even a Golden Retriever (but he only bit things with feathers). We've also had some dogs
go on to become working Police K-9s.
The key to the Club, as with most Schutzhund clubs, is a
knowledgeable and experienced training director. Randall Hoadley,
having competed and worked as a decoy at the national level,
brings a wealth of both attributes to the Club. Throughout
its short history, the club has produced numerous High-in-Trial
and High-in-Protection scores and members who are now competing
at the National level with their Handler Owned and Trained
(HOT) dogs.
Along with varying degrees of experience, our members also specialize and
support all different training methods. Among our members, we have accomplished
clicker trainers to those experienced with the latest techniques of using electric
collars and everything in between. We do not believe in only one training method -
we tailor and support training programs that best suit the individual dog and handler.
