About North County Obedience Training

What they do

The North St. Louis County Obedience Training Club publishes a class program with open registration and enrollment: puppy and beginning obedience, advanced obedience and rally classes, and Canine Good Citizen classes. It also holds an annual CGC and CGCA evaluation, and hosts multiple AKC obedience trials each year.

What kind of organization it is

This is a member club rather than a commercial school. Its own site carries officers and committee members, a member directory, meeting information, and awards for members whose dogs earn championship or performance titles. Its stated purpose, active since 1974, is promoting responsible dog ownership through education, training and community involvement.

For members

The club maintains a lending library of books and training resources covering obedience, behavior and advanced training skills, which members can borrow by contacting its librarian.

Why it is listed here

Unlike a show-giving club, NCOTC publishes classes that members of the public can register for, which is the line used throughout this directory.
