About Obedience Club of Daytona

A volunteer club in Daytona Beach

The Obedience Club of Daytona is a not-for-profit dog training club in Daytona Beach, founded in 1982, that promotes responsible dog ownership through education. Classes run in its indoor facility at 1276 8th Street. All instructors are volunteers so fees can go toward club projects; most have earned AKC titles with their own dogs, many attend clinics and seminars on positive-training methods, and some are certified through NADOI (National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors).

Pet classes

Puppy Class is for dogs up to six months, Basic Manners is for dogs over six months, and an Intermediate class follows. Each runs as six weekly one-hour classes for $150. Basic Manners and Puppy classes are capped at 8 to 10 teams, and pre-registration with payment is required to hold a spot. Basic Manners covers many of the skills used in the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.

Competition and more

The club also offers scent work most Fridays ($15 per session for non-members), beginner and advanced dance classes ($150 for six weeks for non-members), a canine freestyle dance crew, foundation for rally and a conformation class ($10 per night). It hosts AKC obedience, rally and scent work trials, and has a therapy dog group that visits nursing homes and hospitals.
