On behalf of the Working German Shepherd & Dogsport Clubs of Australasia (WGSDCA), Working Dog Federation of Australia Inc (formerly Schutzhund Australia Inc) and Working Malinois Australia we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our petition against the proposed legislation amendment that unfairly defines IGP dogsport as “attack dog training” in South Australia.

Thanks to your dedication, we are now 6000 voices strong!

Your signatures and shares significantly impact defending responsible dog ownership and promoting a balanced understanding of IGP dog sport. This internationally recognized sport fosters discipline, teamwork, and obedience while prioritizing the welfare of our canine companions. It is vital to continue emphasizing the positive reinforcement and strict regulations defining IGP, countering the misconceptions the proposed South Australian legislation perpetuates.

We need your help to keep this momentum going!

Please continue sharing this petition with your friends, family, and animal advocates.  Link your shares to this wonderful video that explains the harmony, joy and energy that is IGP > https://vimeo.com/967761863

Together, we can ensure that our collective voice is heard loud and clear, urging the South Australian government to make evidence-based legislative decisions that consider the welfare of dogs and their owners.

Thank you once again for your support. Let’s keep pushing forward for a fair and informed approach to IGP dog sport.
