While you are not required to do any amount of work for the Club, you are encouraged to get involved. Since we are an all-volunteer group, members who unselfishly volunteer their time carry out all of the CDC activities. There are many things you can do to make a difference. Members can teach classes, help at show & go’s, steward/help at our agility trials or dog shows, donate food items for our agility trials or dog shows, donate paper goods to the club, help clean the building, etc.

A member in good standing is a member who is current on all financial and property responsibilities to the Club. A member in good standing is not under any disciplinary suspension or sanction from any recognized national club. Good standing, as well as regular membership, is required to vote or buy a Trainer’s Pass.

Any Regular Member in good standing may buy a Trainer’s Pass. It is a one-year or quarterly commitment and entitles you to a key to the training center. You may use the rings at any time they have not been committed for another function. You must fill out and sign the Trainers Pass Application. The Trainer’s Pass Chair issues keys.

Members Training Night is a time period, each week, during which any regular member in good standing may use the rings for training their dogs. Applicants who have paid dues, but have not yet been voted in, may also use this time. The day and time is on a rotating basis each month. Please check the calendar for the current month’s scheduled time. There are also structured training times for flyball and agility. Please check the calendar for current training times.

CDC offers Show & Go obedience matches. These matches are set up similarly to obedience trials with mock judges and stewards. These matches are training opportunities, as you are encouraged to provide feedback to your dog during the run throughs. They also offer excellent practice and experience to obedience handlers. There is a nominal charge per run through. The match schedules are available on our website and on flyers posted at the Club.

No, but all members are encouraged to attend general membership meetings. Members are also free to attend the board meetings.

Look on the website.

Yes! All breeds are welcome and many of our members train both mixed and purebred dogs. We have had members who put titles on their dogs through registrations other than AKC. No CDC training excludes mixed breed dogs.
