Capital Dog Training Club

They offer many useful dog/owner training classes options from the very puppy/beginner to dog and owners seeking more advanced skills. Good price, spacious facicity with dog/owner practice stations. Volunteer trainers who do a great job in training owners on how train their dogs in class so dog and owner have the knowledge to practice skills at home during the week for ensure skill building and readiness to build upon those skills. This requires owner/dog participation at every class. The same owner is to be in attendance, each week. 5- Stars easily

Love this place. My puppy is in Star puppy class and she is learning so much.

Capital is a very old dog training facility, specializing in pet training, also offering introduction to dog companion sports. It's instructors are all volunteers, and therefore not always comparable with the local professional instructors. They have been around "forever", and have a great location. They are in a warehouse area, with associated parking issues, relatively tight interior, but did I mention they are in a great location?!?

This is a well deserved SHOUT OUT to the Capital Dog Training Club of Washington DC and especially to our instructors for the Basic Obedience Class. Shannon Hall and Carla LaFleur worked individually with each person in the class and provided constant encouragement to us as a group. Every dog and owner practiced behaviors in class, recieved notes on what was covered after each session and even homework to prepare for the next week. The class was well organized and extremely beneficial for both my 6 month old puppy and I. The class included puppies and some older rescues and all responded well. We had a great time and plan to take more classes at CDTC. I only wish that Shannon and Carla taught Advanced Basic Obedience, too. Oh well, I'm sure there are other great instructors for us t

Because of privacy concerns I've never written a review. That is how much I want to convey my disappointment in this club. I've been training my guardian breed for nine years. I know my breed and the perception that persist in AKC about the breed so I'm used to the passive aggressive remarks. I'm used to people being shocked by my dogs and how friendly to people and dogs they are. HOWEVER, I would never expect that from a volunteer trainer in a basic level class. Volunteer trainers normally love all breeds and want to help you get the most from your dog. My normal club Oriole didn't have conformation this term and I wanted to put a good foundation on my new puppy. I came here to give this club try trusting that they would have the same culture.
