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.
In 2007 our members and their dogs earned over 100 titles in obedience, agility and performance events. Our Instructors are volunteers, but have all earned titles in at least the level they instruct, and have assisted classes before instructing. Guest instructors present special classes open to our members before being opened to the public.
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.
