What people have asked about this business.
I signed my Keehond up for a Therapy class and now see that I needed to have him take a basic obedience from your club. He has several other ob classes from other trainers. Am I still allowed to go to the therapy class?
Please advise.
Obedience classes are not required to be taken at DTCT, if you have passed basic. Your good to continue to therapy class
I will be getting a new puppy in December. I am very interested in puppy classes. May I drop in during one of the puppy classes soon to watch and to gather information? I really do want my pup to be trained according to akc. Please advise. Thanks.
Yes we will love it if you want to come by and watch a class. You can always look on our website and see which day will work best for you.

I feel badly writing this review but I’m also very frustrated and disappointed. The club operates with volunteer help only as far as I know so I’ve tried to be really patient but it’s been over a month of constantly hitting a brick wall. I signed up for a group class and attended one class before I had an unexpected schedule change. I wasn’t able to attend the classes at that time anymore so I asked for a refund on the classes I hadn’t taken yet. I’ve sent email after email and website messages with almost no response. The response I did receive informed me that the club policy is you must request a refund 7 days BEFORE classes start. This is not only a very unforgiving policy but it’s also not posted anywhere on the website as far as I can see. (If it’s posted now then this is definitely a recent update and was not present when I registered for the class). I was then offered credits to take another class but that didn’t materialize either. I will not be returning to this club and I’m out over $100 for classes I never took. There are far more forgiving and fun dog training facilities where I’d recommend spending your money.
