The club provides a variety of training opportunities both for those interested in serious competition and for those whose primary goal is a well-behaved companion. Proof of vaccination and licensing in the dog's city of residence are required for all classes. We do not currently offer behavior modification for very aggressive or fearful dogs. However, if you have such a problem, call us and we may be able to refer you to a behaviorist that can help you and your dog.
