What IGP is
IGP, the international working dog sport widely known as Schutzhund, is judged in three phases: tracking, where the dog follows a laid track and indicates the articles on it, obedience, and protection. Each phase is scored out of 100, and a dog has to score at least 70 in every phase at the same trial to earn the title.
Before IGP1, a dog must pass the BH, the Companion Dog Test, which includes a behaviour and traffic part. The levels then run from IGP1 to IGP3, each requiring the one before. Alongside them sit the AD, an endurance test, and the FPR titles, which are tracking only and judged under the IGP tracking rules. This page follows the USCA IGP Rulebook.
What Title keeps for your IGP dog
Every phase, scored out of 100
Log a session against IGP and score tracking, obedience and protection separately, each out of 100, so the phase that is costing you a title is plain to see.
Every trial on the timeline
Record the trial, the level, the judge and the result. It sits on the dog’s timeline beside the months of work that led to it.
USCA titles by code and name
BH, IGP1, IGP2, IGP3, AD and FPR1 to FPR3 are recognised and group under the United Schutzhund Clubs of America on the dog’s record.
