Santa Clara Dog Training Club (SCDTC) has been teaching people how to train their dogs since 1954. We believe that both people and dogs are happiest when the dog is a well-behaved family member who knows what is expected of them. We have found that training integrates better into family life if an owner is the one who trains the dog, rather than having this done by a professional trainer. All dogs are welcome at all our classes.  

We offer a complete training program that covers all levels. In our group classes, your dog will learn to follow your commands even with the distractions of other dogs and people. Start with Puppy class or our Beginning Obedience class, depending on the age of your dog, and continue through Intermediate and Advanced classes. Many people even choose to continue their obedience training after the basics, and enter their dogs in Obedience Trials or prepare for Rally, Scent Work, or take a Fit Dog class.  

Classes are held in indoor and outdoor training facilities. 

You don't need to be a member to take our classes, but only registered students, club member dogs, and service dogs are allowed into our training facility.
