Training and titles, one wagging tail at a time.

We help dog owners of all abilities meet their training goals, whether that’s having a well-rounded family dog or a National Champion. We are a member-run, nonprofit club training Dayton-area dogs since 1967.

Our Specialties

At Gem City Dog Obedience Club, we focus on training techniques to help you communicate with your dog in a more positive and effective way. We offer basic obedience classes for puppies, young dogs, and adults, perfect for both experienced and first-time dog owners. For those interested in sports and competition, we offer Rally, competition Obedience, Freestyle, Trick Dog, Disc Dog, Barn Hunt, and Happy Ratters classes. Our Agility classes are outstanding and will guide you from your first time on the turf through to competing and earning those ribbons.

We have two properties! At our Northcutt building, we hold classes, events, and trials in Agility, Conformation, Freestyle, Obedience, and Rally; at our “Land” location on Valleycrest Drive, we offer Barn Hunt, Happy Ratters, Disc Dog, and Lure Coursing.
