Come visit us every Friday night starting at 6:00
Animal Inn Training Center, Lake Elmo.
There is always something to do.
Our club supports the German Shepherd Dog and our members by offering training, fun events, hosting competitions in several activities (both performance trials and conformation events) and opportunities for official certifications (Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog International, GSDCA Temperament Certification, etc.). It's important we continue to support each other's interests as it takes a village to run our Club and put on all these events, and we do it for the good of the breed and our members.

The latter deals with people having issues with their dogs and bonding. More information can be found by clicking this link to the Pointy-Eared Training Socialization and Obedience Workshop.
