Mission Statement & Behavior Guidelines

This club is formed to promote friendship with other children and to promote good canine citizenship for dogs, and to become better acqainted with the proper training and knowledge to use for training dogs.  Although our speciality is in dog training, obedience, and showmanship, our club is considered multi-purpose.  We have members that show other animals as well as projects without animals.
