Who We Are And What We Do

The Ithaca Dog Training Club, Inc. was founded in 1951 by a group of dog obedience enthusiasts who were interested in helping each other train their dogs for competition, and also in making dog training services available to the general public. Our goal is to provide both members and non-members with help in training dogs as companions, as obedience competitors, and in other roles.

IDTC currently has about 200 members. We run basic obedience classes for the general public, as well as advanced obedience classes, rally classes, and agility classes for club members. Monthly meetings feature speakers on a variety of dog-related topics, demonstrations of activities ranging from herding to agility to temperament testing, and fun and games with your dog. We have picnics in the summer and a party at Christmas time.

The club also sponsors special events such as seminars on obedience and related topics, Canine Good Citizen tests, ATTS temperament tests, and obedience demonstrations for community events.
