Obedience Training Club of Greater Lansing

This club always hosts great trials and everyone is super friendly. Definitely recommend attending a trial with them.

I really enjoyed the two classes I took. Dick is very passionate about helping new students to prepare for their first time entering an obedience trial.

I highly recommend taking classes at OTCGL. I only planned on doing household obedience with my dog but with all the variety OTC offered, I tried many different classes and found a new (probably lifelong) passion in dog sports. We've taken agility, flyball, tricks, barnhunt, scentwork and obedience classes. If you take a class and don’t love the instructor, just try another instructor. There are some great ones and I’ve made amazing friends through this organization. Warning: you may find a new obsession and develop a rock solid bond with your dog in the process 😂 Mattie says thanks for showing us all our potential!

I had an absolute horrible experience today in the conformation class. The regular instructor Rita was not there and they had a stand in named Laura. I searched all through their instructors on their website and I could not find anyone with this name. My puppy is only 6 months old and she yelled "No!" at him when when he wouldn't stand for the exam. She then scolded me when I wasn't being firm enough with him. She then went on to tell me that I needed to call the breeder and tell her about his bad behavior. Right after this I left and went outside and my pup got sick everywhere. So obviously he needed to go outside and that's why he wasn't letting her complete her exam. I looked through the class rules and it clearly states no yelling at the dogs, so why is this allowed by an instructor? I am currently waiting for a response from them and to find out how I can avoid this awful woman in the future

My experience at the Lansing obedience dog training club was excellent. The people are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are nice. I was very happy with my experience.
