Dog training club-have you ever heard of this?

Question

Have you ever heard of a dog training club that charges a one time membership for all levels of training? I FINALLY found one trainer here that sounds qualified. They have a club with a $300 yearly membership fee. This fee includes beginning through advanced obedience training as well as protection training if your dog is qualified. They have been training for over 30 years. I haven't visited their location yet or asked any detailed Qs as I want to do a little more research on them first on my own.

Does this sound legit?

Answer 1

Ditto Greekman - link please! Would like to find out if there are any near me....  

Answer 2

Actually yes I have heard of this and I admit I just heard of it. This past week I was working at the zoo and one of the keepers began telling me about her dog training club. I'd never heard of it either. But apparently its really good dog training and there is a camaraderie among the dog owners. This person I was talking to actually trained guide dogs this way and then her own personal dogs she trained to compete and they won best in breed in their obedience class. I advise just do your homework about which one is best and has the best offer but yes they are legit.

Answer 4

Yes, there are dog training clubs.  I belong to one, which is a not-for-profit organization.  They offer basic obedience, competitive obedience, rally obedience, agility & conformation classes.

We pay $30.00 a year, have to make 4 meetings a year and do to jobs, which can pretty easy to do, like helping at an obedience or agility trial.
