Shelby County Obedience Club - Memphis, Tennessee

Micah Bender

SCOC is an absolute gem for dog training in Memphis. I've taken a number of their classes with my German Shepherds, Ginger and Rio. They have helped us become such a great team and we've even made it to a couple of national jr championship podiums in obedience and agility.

Everyone there is incredibly passionate about dogs and dog sports and they're always eager to help in any way they can. For less than the cost of a single class at some training facilities, the annual membership fee gives us access to all of the classes offered. Its such a great deal. As a young person with a limited budget, its been wonderful to have such a welcoming place to train.

We took our Husky, Sky to this dog obedience training school. We had just taken Sky in as a rescue and he lacked confidence and trust. The beginner training program really boosted both. We are certain that Sky had been mistreated so he lacked trust. We highly recommend this training school and the trainers. The cost of the training is also very affordable!

I can’t say enough positives about Shelby County Obedience Club dog training classes. Highly experienced, knowledgeable and versatile class instructors and assistants. A wonderful place for you and your canine companion to learn, bond, have fun and develop tools for at home training maintenance. The club has a great 35+ year history with reasonably priced training classes.

SCOC has been invaluable in helping me with ongoing training for my dog, Callie (a very high energy Springer Spaniel). We started when she was only 4 months old with the basic obedience class, but we eventually progressed to several other classes: Rally, Ob-Fam (Agility) and Scent Work. The teachers and other club members have been a huge help to me in all of the classes. They know so much about dog behavior, and they are eager to share their knowledge. I would highly recommend SCOC for any level of training.

When Tink was a year old she was scared of people, other dogs, and just about everything! Walks were a nightmare. A friend recommended dog sports to raise Tink's confidence. We started taking Rally classes at SCOC and it made all the difference. Tink is amazing now. Today, almost 9 years later, we are still involved in the club and have made many great friends, both human and canine!

My dog and I have been a member of this club for last three years and it has helped me a lot. My dog is a rescue dog and 2 years old when I got her so she had no obedience and was very adamant. The training in the club helped her learn basic obedience, which now turned into off-leash walking. The club also offers varies classes like agility, sequencing, etc. which helps dogs to develop confidence and learn new things. Given that it is a volunteer club, the prices are almost nothing compared to outside. I highly recommend this club if you are looking for some fun and learning for your dog and yourself.

SCOC is a hidden gem in the heart of Memphis. A great place for training your dog at all levels. Excellent instructors, experienced and knowledgeable. If you want to build a great relationship with your pet, for around the house or in the show ring, this is the place to be.

I owe so much to the Shelby County Obedience Club. Before we went our latest rescue was wild; stealing food at dinnertime, not leash trained, playing too rough and refusing to stop. Within a few weeks all of this behavior stopped with the training both of us recieved. A few months later and everyone comments on how much she's changed. The trainers and club members are very welcoming and eager to share tips and tricks that make a huge difference.
