Who we are

NSDTC is the oldest AKC member obedience training club in the United States.

The Premium list for the 2023 trial is available now! NSDTC will hold its 82nd All-Breed Obedience Trial and 17th Rally Trial on Sunday, June 18, 2023, at the WAG Training Center, 2807 N US Hwy 12, Spring Grove, IL. The Golden Retriever Club of Illinois (GRCI) is holding its trials on Saturday, June 17 and the Premium List is combined with NSDTC. Please note that if you'd like to enter both days, separate entries are required for each trial (one for NSDTC, one for GRCI Trial 1, and one for GRCI Trial 2). Also, 2-sided printing works best for this Premium List.

North Shore Dog Training Club's 81st All-Breed Obedience Trial and 16th Rally Trial was held Sunday, June 19, 2022 at the WAG Training Center, 2807 N US Highway 12, Spring Grove, IL 60081-7808. Thank you to all of the participants, volunteers and WAG for making the event a success!
