Dog Training since 1955
The Charlotte Dog Training Club (CDTC) has been serving the needs of Charlotte area dog owners since 1955 by promoting responsible dog ownership through obedience training, turning our canine friends into good citizens. The club's outreach has grown considerably since the early days.
CDTC offers puppy socialization, pet beginner, and advanced beginner classes for those looking to help their companion dogs be the best pet they can be.
Our obedience and rally classes are taught in a convenient and spacious, heated, fully matted, indoor facility with loads of well-lit parking just outside the door.
Our Agility classes are taught outdoors, in a safe, fully lighted and fenced agility field.
The Charlotte Dog Training Club is a great environment for Dogs and their Owners to learn and socialize.
