Go, Fetch! Get a fun title in one day. If you have any questions about Fetch, let us know.

Whether your dog is a natural retriever or just loves a good game of fetch, this is the perfect way to have fun and work toward a new AKC title.

We've all seen it, but did you know there is a name for it?

"Displacement behavior" is when a dog's behavior doesn't match the situation. Learn how to spot it and what it means for your dog's emotions.

Vixen Knox was a bit overwhelmed at Doggie U yesterday but she still managed to Triple Q in Rally. If you haven't seen Naomi and Vixen trial together, you're missing a special treat. 🐾

Tonight we took our first AKC Fit Dog Group Walk of 2026. Thank you to everyone who participated. 🐾

03/17/2026

We are having our first Fit Walk of 2026 tonight at 7:15pm, leaving from the VFW and following the same path. Wearing green is not required to walk.☘️

We are an AKC Fit Dog Club. And we will have our first Group Fit Dog Walk starting at 6:30pm tomorrow! Meet in front of the door to the VFW, where those walking will follow this route, which is exactly one mile total.

To earn a Fit Dog title, your dog must be at least 6 months old and registered with the AKC. At AKC FIT DOG activities, dogs may wear slip collars, buckle collars, Martingales, and body harnesses. They may not wear prong collars or e-collars. Leashes should be 4 ft. to 6 ft. long and should be made of fabric or leather. The handler for an AKC FIT DOG activity may be the dog owner or the dog owner’s designee.

Our group walk will count as HALF of what you need for the Bronze Fit Dog title. You must fill out the Documentation Form that we will provide you on Tuesday. The other half can be anything on the Broze checklist. For several of you, it will be an AKC Rally, Obedience or Agility title (eg, BN or RN count for the Bronze level.)

Classes for tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, are canceled due to the snow accumulation and cleanup.

We will extend the session accordingly. The last day of the current session will be March 10!

Stay safe, stay warm and see you on March 3rd!

No classes tomorrow, January 27.

NDTC has decided to postpone tomorrow's classes. While some of the roads seem ok, some are still not and we think
in order to keep everyone safe, we will not hold classes tomorrow.

We will, of course, be adding this class onto the end of the schedule, so instead of ending the session on Feb. 24, we will end on March 3, weather permitting, or course!

Enjoy, and be safe!
