Orlando Dog Training Club, Inc.

What do I need to know before I sign up?

There are class requirements for a lot of our classes. Please see the class description for the class you are interested in. If after reading the description you are unsure as to which class you should take, email the Training Director and provide a full synopsis of your dog’s training history and she will make a recommendation.

There may be a waiting list for a class, especially the advanced obedience competition classes.
At this time we do have a waiting list for our V-1 classes. Any students who did not take that class in the previous session will have to be approved by our Training Director.

Please note – we accept registrations on a "first-received-with-deposit" basis. Our classes generally fill up a week or two prior to the start of each session.

If you have questions, please contact the Training Director. Please note you will receive a reply generally within 3-5 business days. All of our staff are volunteers and work at full-time jobs during the day. Communications will be handled via email.

Please note that ODTC does not accept any credit cards or debit cards in our training facility. Payments must be by cash or bank check.

Kindergarten and Beginner classes are first night without dogs.
