BDTC was founded to promote the training of dogs in multiple disciplines, disseminate knowledge on dog training, encourage good sportsmanship in competition and develop camaraderie among its members. Through your membership, you will find camaraderie with other dog lovers and enthusiasts of dog sports and we hope that you will participate in the various activities hosted by the Club. In 1964 Ursul
a Berkowitz, the first person to import the Canaan Dog into this country, founded the Oxnard Obedience Club (OOC). The Oxnard Obedience Club applied for and received incorporation status as a non-profit mutual benefit corporation in 1978. In 2001 the Club changed its name to the Buenaventura Dog Training Club, Inc. to better reflect the variety of dog sports that our Club encompasses. The club hosts a variety of activities including agility trials, coursing ability tests, and an annual obedience trial held in May plus an annual awards party. We meet bi-monthly and our general membership meetings include fun, dog themed activities. We have sponsored seminars, matches and more. Paw Power, the Club's monthly newsletter, contains information on upcoming Club events, dog shows/trials and matches, and articles of interest to dog sports enthusiasts. Member input is welcome! We look forward to you joining us for one or more of our activities and encourage you to become a member so that you can enjoy everything the BDTC has to offer.
