Want to be part of a club that offers fun activities and training opportunities for you and your dog? You’ve come to the right place. After completing a Public Obedience class, you can choose to become a member and be part of a club that is full of fellow dog-lovers.
As an FWOTC club member, you can get involved in a multitude of fun & engaging activities with your dog.
The list is always growing, but here are a few:
Obedience
Obedience is the best foundation you can give your dog. From basic sit-stay-heal-come commands, all the way to high-end competition, obedience demonstrates a willingness in working together, and helps you enjoy a well-behaved dog at home and in public.

Moving together in harmony with your dog - running, weaving, jumping. The sport of agility allows you to run a fun & challenging obstacle course with your K9 partner. It’s fast paced, rewarding, and the best way we can think of to exercise!
Rally
Rally is an incredible team sport with your dog, based on obedience skills. You and your dog navigate a course together as you steer him through a series of 10-20 different signs - each requiring a different skill. Fun & engaging, rally is a great way to connect with your dog.
