The Greater Kansas City Dog Training Club was founded
in 1953, to further the enhancement of all breeds of
purebred dogs, to take an active interest in the welfare,
popularity and understanding of dogs and dog owners
in the community, and to conduct AKC sanctioned trials
in obedience, agility and tracking.
We offer training classes to the general public, taught
by our member-volunteers. All of the volunteers who
teach have obedience titles at least equivalent to
the level they are teaching. Among our members we
include people interested in all facets of the sport
of purebred dogs. Whether your interest is in therapy
dog, tracking, agility, competition obedience, some
of the lesser known dog sports (lure coursing, earthdog
trials, carting or waterdog competitions), or just
in having a well-behaved pet, you will find someone
who shares your enthusiasm.
In addition to training classes for all levels of
obedience, we offer community education in the form
of demonstrations, school programs, and appearances
at special functions. We have speakers available on
a variety of topics from animal/human communication
to dog/child safety programs. Our community education
team can be reached at the number below.
Membership is open to persons who are interested in
the world of dogs. Please check out our membership
page for more information.
