While this is good news, we do it with the understanding that the situation may well change again. The pandemic represents an unprecedented and uncontrollable challenge for small nonprofit organizations like SPDTC. The return to classes will be organized by the Program Directors. Instructors and students can expect to hear from them regarding the specifics of the reopening.
The Board would like to share the seriousness of the Club's financial situation with the staff and the membership. While a return to classes will offer some relief, student fees will not be enough to keep the Club going for long.

History
Report
SPDTC was founded by Alward "Elkie" Johnson who trained guard dogs in the service during WWII. Al returned from the service to train the first police dogs in St. Paul, and was one of the first AKC judges in our area. He then decided to focus on training family dogs and their owners and founded St. Paul Dog Training Club along with Dr. Thomas Gehan, Dr. Edward Emerson, Carl Nordby, and Betty and Jim Sheehan.
