Membership Information

KOTC is a volunteer dog obedience training club that relies on its members to conduct the day-to-day tasks involved in all the aspects of running a dog obedience club.  This includes assisting with training classes as well as with our trials and other club events.  We also participate in various community events.  Our Members are the roots of this club.  We support and encourage our members with their own goals whether it be for well-mannered dogs or competition dogs.  We encourage and welcome people who are interested in becoming part of our dog family!

We meet the second Tuesday of every month at 7 PM. Due to Covid risk, we are currently meeting online via Zoom meeting. To get the login information, send email to President Cindi Robusto at roborottie@gmail.com.  We welcome dog-loving folks to attend our meetings to learn more about our club and our mission in the community.
