Club
Membership
Chattahoochee
Schutzhund Club members take
our training sessions and membership responsibilities seriously.
The club's purpose is to be an
all-breed schutzhund club, training handler-dog teams to achieve their
goals, attain Schutzhund titles, and compete in local, regional,
national,
and international events, all while working together in a
fun,
friendly, and family-oriented environment.
We have a
simple membership process.
By following it, we have been consistently able to meet our club’s
goal.
Membership
Process:
(1)
Attend up to three club training
sessions prior to submitting a membership application. The
purpose
of these three sessions is for the prospective applicant to evaluate
“club
life,” for the club to evaluate the prospective member's dog for
suitability
to be trained in schutzhund, and for the club to evaluate you as a
perspective
member. The evaluation of your dog may occur after all
full-member
and probationary-member dogs are trained during that session.
(2)
Fill out the membership application
(CSC Membership Application)
and pay the non-refundable initiation/application fee of $60.00 and the
pro-rated amount for field dues.
Field dues
are: Single Membership $150; Family
Membership $225. They are due annually on Jan. 1.
Submit
your application, initiation/application
fee, and field dues to any CSC board member at a club training session
to start your probationary membership. Probationary members do
not
have voting privileges and may have their dog trained in protection
after
all full-status members dogs have been trained. The probationary
period lasts at least three months from the date of your
application.
(3)
Regularly attend club training sessions
with your dog.
(4)
If the dog-handler team is
deemed by vote of the CSC board to be suitable for full-status
membership,
you will be granted the privileges of a full member.
(5)
To be a member of the CSC, you must
be a member of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USA). If you
already
are member of USA, please provide your USA membership number on your
CSC
membership application. If you are not, please visit the
USA
webpage (www.germanshepherddog.com) and submit an
application
for membership to USA. You
will remain a probationary CSC member until you attain membership
in
USA.
