Nassau Dog Training Club

Nassau Dog Training Club Nassau Dog Training Club has been in existence since 1947 and is a member of the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Nassau Dog Training Club is a NYS domestic not-for-profit that has been in existence since 1947. We are a member club of the American Kennel Club (AKC). We are a dedicated group of dog enthusiasts focused on teaching people how to train their dogs to be good canine citizens and achieve the bond they were meant to share. Our classes are designed to let you learn and train at your own pace no matter

what your individual goals are and whether you have had any prior training or not. All breeds and mixed breeds, dogs of all sizes and ages, come together and benefit from that experience at Nassau Dog Training Club.

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.)

Our Obedience and Rally Trials, Sunday, September 28, at SOTC went off without a hitch.
We want to thank everyone who helped make that happen.
Most importantly, we thank our Obedience judge, Joe Caputa, and our Rally judge Joyce Rienzo, and her assistant steward Kelly Sacvone, who judged with humor, compassion and enthusiasm. The right judges make all the difference, and these talented professionals were a pleasure to show under.
We would like to thank our show co-chair Michele Calvosa for a well-run day -- as well as NDTC volunteers Liz Shannon, Patricia Burnside, Ken Smith, Ted Scala, Kiran Adele Gyllenhammer, Florence Scarinci, Rosanne Mamo and Aimee and John Pontrelli. And thank you to Margaret Uminsky for delighting the qualifiers with her lovely handmade prizes.
Proving the importance of having good friends, we also greatly appreciate the hospitality of the Suffolk Obedience Training Club and their members who helped, in particular president Judith Duck for inviting us back, Fainne O'Donoghue, Sue Levine and Teri Nolan, who also served as trial secretary,
If we missed any helpers, we apologize.
We offer our heartfelt thanks to all our exhibitors and sincerest congratulations to everyone who qualified. In particular, we recognize the extraordinary accomplishments of Mindy Costanza, High Combined (Obedience), Sue Levine, High in Trial Obedience), Patricia Burnside, High Combined (Rally) and Charlotte Firkser, Highest Combined Triple (Rally).
Let's give a special round of applause to Club members Patricia Burnside and Sasha for First Place in Rally Excellent, qualifying in Rally Advanced B and First Place in Rally Excellent B, Naomi Knox and Vixen for First Place with the only score of 100 for the day in Rally Advanced A and their title, Rena Dershowitz and Sierra for Fourth Place in Open B, Rosanne Mamo and Georgia for Second Place in Rally Novice A, and Ken Smith and Le'A for Third Place in Rally Novice A.
It was clear from their performances that all our exhibitors have very special relationships with their dogs! And we are so happy that they shared their pups with us.
Gratefully,
Jamileh-Sofia diGuida
