Olympus Schuythund Club has been in existence for approximately 20 years. It was the
first Schutzhund club formed in Utah and is the only DVG affiliated club in Utah. The
membership is comprised of people who enjoy their dogs and working with them and
each other in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. We have three times now hosted the
Western Region Competition and hold trials and seminars every year. We put emphasis
on balanced work with our dogs, applying equal time to tracking, obedience and
protection. There are many people who believe Schutzhund is for 'vicious' dogs or will
make a sweet dog vicious. Contrary to this erroneously held belief, Schutzhund is best
done by dogs who are stable in temperament, easily controlled by voice commands and
love to do what they were bred to do. This is a sport that demonstrates beautifully
executed teamwork.
Olympus is an affiliate member of DVG (DeutscheVerband der
Gebrauchsundsportvereine) which was formed in Germany in 1903. Click here to read
