Our Membership

Membership is open to all who are interested in obedience training. Requirements are to have completed an obedience class with CVOC or elsewhere and be able to perform basic obedience exercises of SIT, DOWN, STAY, COME AND HEEL ON LOOSE LEASH. An evaluation of owner/dog team may be required.

As a volunteer organization, we request that all members participate when possible in club events and assist with set up and take down of training equipment on Thursday night training.

Each Thursday night training, club members are offered a variety of obedience training sessions, as well as health and wellness presentations. Members volunteer to lead one or more sessions throughout the year.
