County Obedience Club is a nonprofit organization whose members
share a love of dogs & developing them into better companions.
We also offer beginner obedience classes for the pet owner as well
as conformation handling classes for handlers & their conformation
dogs.
For SCOC members, classes are also offered in competition obedience,
agility, rally and tracking. In addition, individual members participate
in herding, hunting, earthdog, lure coursing, therapy, schutzhund
& other assorted dog sports.
If
you need more information about our beginner obedience or conformation
classes, or club membership, call 901-458-6556 & leave a message.
SCOC member volunteers answer our phone messages as soon as possible
and will return all calls.
Shelby
County Obedience Club also offers conformation classes and run throughs,
open to the public, as well as obedience and agility show’n’gos.
These are all meant to help prepare both handler and dog for conformation,
obedience and agility competition. If you would like to be notified
when these are scheduled, please fill out the form below and you
will be added our email announcement list. Or just email us at INFO@ShelbyCountyObedienceClub.com
Thank
you for your interest in our basic beginner obedience class.
Registration for the SCOC basic obedience class at our training
building is offered every other month. The fee for the six week
class is $125.00 and is payable, by check or cash, at registration.
You will also need to bring proof of vaccination to registration
but please, leave your dog at home. The classes are held at
our training building at 3785 Given Ave. A copy of a map to
our building can be downloaded using the link on the left side
of this page.
For your class, please have a 6 foot leash (no chains or retractable
leashes, please) and a well fitted collar. We will be glad to
check your collar and make recommendations so it fits properly.
It is also a good idea to bring plenty of small, quick-to-eat
treats and/or a favorite toy to class to make learning lots
of fun.
We
have a grassy area so you can potty your dog before class. Your
instructor will go over the training and building guidelines
at registration and again, on the first night of class.
We look forward to seeing you and your canine companion at our
next class!
