Obedience is the foundation for a happy, well mannered pet, as well as the basis for all canine activities. AKC Obedience began in 1933 with the purpose of developing a close working relationship between dogs and their owners, in addition demonstrating their usefulness and enthusiasm. This concept is still just as important today. POTC offers classes for various levels of obedience, as well as AKC and UKC sanctioned trials where you can earn titles for your dog.
