Services
The Springfield Dog Training Club (SMDTC) was established in 1970, and was licensed by the American Kennel Club in 1984. The Club holds AKC licensed Obedience Trials and Agility Trials each year, as well as AKC Tracking Tests, Tracking Dog Excellent Tests, and Rally trials. The aim is to encourage willingness and enjoyment from the dog while establishing necessary control.
Dog clubs hold around 5,000 events each year sponsored by the AKC. If you're interested in earning points for your dog, these types of dog clubs fit your needs. AKC sponsored events are more structured and regulated by rules, but if you want to get into showing, agility, herding or field trials, and you are serious about promoting and improving your dog's performance, this kind of dog club would be a good choice.

Great place for teaching your pup. Fantastic trainers that care a lot about you pet, positive training and they cover everything from simply teaching them to sit and lie down to teach them proper etiquette of entering a building with you not by dragging you through it. I recommend them to anyone looking for a great training experience for themselves and their dog.
