HDTC celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversary back in 2004--fifty years as a non-profit organization teaching both pet and competition obedience classes and dedicated to improving the relationship between dogs and their owners. The club also provides agility classes; holds annual obedience and agility trials; has member events such as parties and picnics; participates in parades, demonstrations, and local fairs; and is involved in therapy or educational visits to nursing homes, hospices, and schools.

Many years ago we taught classes in local school buildings or in the National Guard Armory, holding classes just once a week. Now, in our own building, we are holding classes 4 or 5 nights a week, with some special events on weekends.

HDTC has a large, experienced, volunteer staff of individuals who are all dedicated to providing excellent instruction. All of our instructors not only teach others, but attend training classes and seminars themselves, and train and exhibit their own dogs in obedience, conformation, agility, and other performance events.
