About SADTC
Effective dog training, real behavior solutions
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 offers an annual American Kennel Club (AKC) obedience and rally trial, usually November.
