TDTC members are a diverse group of individuals with the primary goal of sharing their knowledge regarding companion dog events, mainly obedience and agility. Our canine members range from purebred show dogs to mixed-breed shelter and rescued dogs. The interests of the club members range from competitive obedience and agility training to Paw Pals therapy visits.

Membership fees for a single member are $50 USD per year. Family membership fees are $75 USD per year. Family membership provides all family members residing at the same address to become members of the TDTC.

An attendance roster is maintained by the membership, so it is important to sign in at each meeting to track the number of meetings that have been attended. Once you have attended the three required meetings, you may apply for Regular Membership by completing the application and returning it to the Membership Chairman. The application will be voted on by the Regular Membership at the following general meeting.
Regular Members may serve on the Board of Directors and apply for privileges such as building keys and crate space at the club.
