Birmingham Protection Training

Birmingham Schutzhund Team









Welcome to the Birmingham Schutzhund Club!

Birmingham Schutzhund Club Training Video

Our club and tracking grounds are located a little way from Birmingham, close to Hereford. We're a GSDL (German Shepherd Dog League of GB) affiliated club formed in 2006 in Birmingham.

We have years of training experience in Travis Foster, Gavin Smith and Mike Matthewson; exceptionally fast and experienced "A" grade helpers in Roger Leddra and Brian Wincott as well as talented "B" licenced helper Richard Acton and Trainee Helper Ashley Foster. We have trainee helpers and regularly host visiting trainers and helpers from all over the UK and occasionally from Europe.

Please note that our membership is currently full (Oct 2011) and that we're not looking for new members. (Although we're happy to welcome visitors who are members of other GSDL clubs). New to the sport? You can find a contact list for all of the GSD League Working Branch clubs here

Please bear in mind that schutzhund is a sport which requires very good control of dogs and covers the three disciplines of tracking, obedience and protection. It's our policy not to train dogs in protection until a very good level of control is evident. We're absolutely NOT here to train dogs to be aggressive or intimidating outside of the very narrow parameters of the sport. (Sorry to be a bore, and we don't want to sound unnecessarily unfriendly, but for clarity: If a visitor only wants someone to train a dog to bite and if we think they're not serious about the sport overall or prepared to put the considerable time and effort into training to get to that point, they will not be invited back. For everyone else of any level of experience, we welcome enquiries with open arms!)

We plan to have this site full of useful information for anybody interested in the sport. We also have a Web Forum where we invite anybody to register and join in with discussions.


Training takes place on Sundays, starting 10.30am

  • We allow a maximum of 2 Non-Member visitors from other GSDL Clubs per session - £8.00 per visit per person
  • Members - £20.00 per month by Direct Debit
