Check classes over carefully. We've added a few classes that might be of interest to you and your dog.

If you've been with us in our classes recently, Thank you for training with us at TCDTC!! If not, I hope you'll give us a try! Classes are very limited so we can do a lot of one on one with all students.

*** NEW SESSION STARTS MAY 1 2024 ***
It's time to gear up for the next session of our dog training classes! Classes will now be offered on both Wednesday nights and Thursday nights, at our new location at Furrtropolis on S Bascom Ave.

Continued training not only deepens your understanding and connection with your dog, but it is also critical in addressing any lingering behavioral issues and reinforcing positive behaviors! You can continue to stay in a class with an instructor you like, or try any of our beginner friendly classes to experience something new! Working on skills (especially the skills you think you have learnt ) around different dogs in a new environment is an underrated but extremely important tool in building your dogs skills!

TCDTC has 2 spots left in our new Fit Dog class. This class, based on the AKC Fit Dog Titling Program, is a playful disguise for foundational fitness skills that will keep your pup moving, stretching, and thinking, with joy. It will serve as an excellent introduction to Canine Fitness, catering to pets and sports dogs alike. The significant advantage is preparing both dog and handler for a full conditioning program, with AKC approved syllabus for each of the three available levels.

This class will be taught by Kathleen Childers, who is an AKC certified Fit Dog Instructor. In addition, she is also a Certified Canine Fitness Instructor (CCFT) through the FitPaws/University of Tennessee.

If you'd like to work on ALL AKC rally signs in a class environment, join my 6 week class beginning this Thursday at Metro Ed, San Jose, CA., All of the signs are covered in 12 weeks. We start with dogs/handlers acclimating to the course by doing a few entries and some signs. Either one or two at a time, depending. Then have turns doing the whole course one at a time.
