Murfreesboro Obedience Training Club is an AKC approved dog obedience training club. We offer dog training classes at all levels from puppy to advanced competition. Our classes promote a canine-human team with the desired result being a dog that is beneficial to society and a better companion to its owner. Because our volunteer instructors are active in their chosen dog activity and sport, they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our classes. The club holds both AKC obedience and agility trials throughout the year.
