Portsmouth Chesapeake Obedience Training Club

Portsmouth Chesapeake Obedience Training Club PCOTC is a nonprofit organization composed of volunteers who enjoy working and spending time with their dogs. Our members are as varied as the breeds they own.

We are interested in helping you train your dog to be a well mannered family member and a source of pride. Portsmouth Chesapeake Obedience Training Club, Inc (PCOTC) is an outgrowth of the Gosport Obedience Training Club which was first formed in 1949. The original club disbanded in 1960 and was reorganized in 1964. The club then adopted a new Constitution and By-laws and a new name which was appr

oved by the American Kennel Club in April 1968. PCOTC has been hosting AKC licensed Obedience Trials yearly since 1973. Many participate in breed specific sports such as herding, field trials, hunt tests and lure coursing. Still others are involved in conformation, tracking, flyball, and agility. The foundation for success in all of these venues is obedience training and many members actively compete in obedience trials sanctioned by the AKC and ASCA. The club participates yearly in a variety of community events offering obedience demonstrations at events such as Suffolk Mutt Strut and Bark in the Park. Some of our members have earned Therapy Dog International (TDI) certificates and their dogs visit local homes, retirement communities and area hospitals. We provide public education in canine good citizenship.
