What is SADTC?

San Antonio Dog Training Club is a group of people actively involved in training our dogs to be loving, well-behaved companions in the household. Some of our dogs and people go on and enjoy competing in the sport of dog obedience.

We offer obedience classes using positive motivational methods – clicker training.
