Welcome!
The Greater Columbia Obedience Club, Inc. (GCOC) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1968 to promote the sport of dog obedience. Part of our mission includes public education regarding dog training and associated competition. GCOC is made up of local dog enthusiasts and is sanctioned by the American Kennel Club (AKC) to hold both obedience and agility trials in the area. As part of their mission the club has been providing obedience lessons for people in Columbia and surrounding areas for many years. We subscribe to the theory that a "trained dog is a happy dog". The club encourages and promotes positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods. Obedience training helps you and your dog build a lasting bond based on communication skills that you can both understand.
