WELCOME TO FOREST CITY DOG TRAINING CLUB
Forest City Dog Training club has successfully trained thousands of area dogs since our club's inception in 1968. We help dogs and owners build a stronger bond as they train. Our experienced instructors will work with you to find the method of training that works best for you and your dog. We offer classes in Obedience, Agility, Confirmation, Rally, & Therapy Dog work. We train a wide range of students from those whose goals are simply a well behaved pet, to those are looking to show at the national level.
Forest City Dog Training Club was established in 1968 by a small group of people interested in helping others train their dogs for obedience shows as well as how to have a great family pet. Over the years, our training has evolved and now includes obedience, rally, agility, therapy work, and conformation.
