About Our Club
Our history begins before World War II. Greater Saint Louis Training Club was founded in 1940, making it the oldest obedience training club in the Saint Louis area. GSLTC has proudly offered over 60 years of obedience training and over 50 years of obedience trials. We are also the only AKC-member obedience club in the St. Louis area.
GSLTC prides itself on being noncommercial, nonprofit, and community centered. Our membership includes many pet owners as well as people who are active in every branch of dog sports. Our members enjoy social events, a quarterly newsletter, class discounts, and the chance to make friends with other people who love working and playing with their dogs. Club members have opportunities to participate in club activities such as our annual obedience trial, seminars, and community service programs. Those interested in becoming volunteer trainers for the club may apply to take our six-month Trainers’ Course, apprentice with experienced trainers, and eventually become assistant and perhaps even head trainers for the club.
Interesting in joining us?
Note: Two sponsors who are club members are required for membership. If you are taking classes with us, talk to your trainers about club sponsorship. If you aren’t in classes, find sponsors by coming to a club event, our obedience trial, or a Behavior and Training 101 class and introducing yourself to members of our club.
