Anyone who wants to train their dog in a positive, supportive environment is welcome.

We may also ask to do a quick evaluation of the handler/dog team.
Active Members receive a 50% discount on class fees (does not apply to AKC evaluator fees).
Online membership is not currently available. Please use the Contact Us form to start your membership.
Thursday Night Training
Each Thursday night, club members can choose from a variety of obedience training sessions, along with occasional health and wellness presentations. Members volunteer throughout the year to lead one or more sessions.
Examples of past wellness trainings have included an essential oils for dogs, canine massage, homemade dog food recipes, and also a Reiki healing demonstration.
As a volunteer organization, we ask members to participate in club events when possible and to help with the set-up and take-down of training equipment during Thursday night training.
Become a member for weekly training sessions that help you and your dog learn, grow, and have fun—whether you want to build everyday manners, explore a new skill, or get ring-ready for competition. You’ll train alongside members and dogs with a wide range of talents, titles, and experience. If you’re looking for a welcoming community and a rewarding way to progress together, our club may be the perfect fit.
