K-9 Obedience Training Club of Essex County, NJ

The K-9 Obedience Training Club of Essex County, NJ, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization founded by Hal Wheeler in 1944.

 

​

We are dedicated to the community to help promote responsible dog ownership through training. We do this by holding classes for dogs of all ages, breeds and training levels. Classes are held Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in Cedar Grove, NJ.

Our class instructors and trainers have extensive experience and compete in various dog sporting events such as:​

​

• Obedience

• Rally

• Agility

• Conformation

• Field

• Herding

• Barn Hunt

• Nosework

 

We hold beginner classes (for dogs that have little or no training) and all levels of competition obedience classes. Upon completion of our Beginner and Advanced Beginner classes, your dog will be eligible to test for a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title offered by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

 

Our motto is “Trained dogs make better companions.” Come join us and learn how to make your dog your best companion.
