About SADTC
The San Antonio Dog Training Club (SADTC) was founded in 1961. We are an all volunteer organization of approximately 50 members dedicated to the training of dogs to be loving and well-behaved companions of the household. We do this by teaching you to teach your dog using positive training techniques. We also provide training for those people who are interested in the competitive sport of dog obedience. The club typically offers one to two American Kennel Club (AKC) obedience and rally trials a year; one in March and occasionally one in June or July.
We actively volunteer with the San Antonio Humane Society. Our classes are held at their location, 4804 Fredericksburg Road just outside of Loop 410 in San Antonio. As part of the Canine Cadet program at the San Antonio Humane Society, SADTC volunteers help train the shelter's older dogs to walk on a leash, to sit and stay, among other basic skills to help make them more adoptable. We also temperament test the shelter dogs to insure that the dogs will be placed with the right families. In 2005 the club provided 500 hours of disaster relief for animal victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.In 2008 the club again stepped up to help with animal victims of Hurricane Ike.
Our members are also involved in nursing home visits and dog walks, and enjoy various outings such as picnics and parties that include our dogs.
The club's business meetings as of 2009 are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30PM at the San Antonio Humane Society building, 4804 Fredericksburg Road just outside of Loop 410 in San Antonio. If you'd like to get to know us, please feel free to attend a club meeting or come watch a training class. See the Training Schedule for more details.
