Great place for akc classes for you and your dog. My beagle and I are now taking our 3rd class here. The first two as a puppy were for obedience and now we are taking a beginner scent training class. They are very small classes giving you lots of one on one time and affordable. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow my relationship with my dog here.

I'm in my second class here and I've been very happy with both. The instructors are member volunteers, very experienced; and the classroom setting gives you ample opportunity to practice what is being taught in a safe environment that never-the-less mirrors the real world (other dogs and people around).

Very competent trainers and this training club has been around for a long time. They are serious about training you and your dog, and our instructor - Cheryl was proof of that. The class was fun, a blend of humor and a serious effort to make sure that we owners understood what she was telling us, learning and applying the commands. The sessions were well organized and Cheryl along with her assistant Nancy were ready to go when students began arriving. Each class was a little more challenging, and there was usually at least one puppy that needed some extra assistance. That was noticed right away by Cheryl or Nancy. One of them went to the rescue quickly and guided the puppy & puppy parent through the steps of the command until the pup "Got it". We were given handouts for each week's lesson and homework to focus on during the week until the next lesson. Cheryl also gave us some very informative reading via Internet links. I've attended quite a few Obedience classes and I have done Obedience training for over 20 years. Based on my experience as a trainer and the classes I attended, I feel I'm able to share my opinion about GKCDTC. I have a Golden Retriever puppy, so we took the Puppy Class. Sadie is 7.5 months old now and was almost 6 months when we started puppy class. Sadie was very hyper and hadn't had much socialization at all. I had an injury that kept me down for over 2 months when Sadie was 3.5 mo. old to 5.5 mo. old. She was way behind on training my other dogs had all received. She was also the most stubborn, hardest dog to train that I've owned. Cheryl was a lot of help on those problems, and by week 3 Sadie was a different dog. Cheryl saved me & Sadie. All the pups showed continued improvement during the class. √ If you have a puppy, do yourself and your pup a great service and enroll him, her in a class here. It's so helpful to start the Obedience training early. If you have an adult dog 🐕, the same advice applies. You, your dog, and your whole family will be so glad you made this decision. Everyone - Family and Dog - benefits from Obedience classes. And GKCDTC is the best place in the entire KC Metroplex to get training. Their prices are very competitive too.
