The Training Committee organizes dog evaluations 6-8 times per year on weekends and evenings for people who aren't sure what class they should join or want an evaluation to join the club. Most people will not need evaluations as they should follow the class progression explained on the class pages.

Please note:
  • The Training Committee generally recommends that all dogs less than 6 months of age at the start of class sign up for puppy class, regardless of skill level. 
  • If your dog is older than 6 months you should sign-up for Beginner 1. 
  • All beginner classes fill quickly! Being placed into Beyond Beginner or Beginner 2 will not make it easier to get into class.
  • Advanced classes, such as agility, are only open to IDTC members who meet the class prerequisites. Learn more about membership here.

Fill out the evaluation below and a member of the Training Committee will contact you about next steps and the date of the next evaluation.
