MEMBERSHIP

 You do not have to be a member of Keystone Canine Training Club (KCTC) to take our classes.  However, if you become a member, there are many benefits including a lower price for classes.  Anyone over the age of 16 who owns and works a dog at KCTC or who actively participates in club events may apply for membership in the Club. 

 In order to become a member, you must:

1. Take two classes at the Non-Member rate (currently $100 for most classes).

2. After that, submit a membership application endorsed by two members (can be instructors), along with your annual dues (currently $70).  Then your name is published in our monthly newsletter.

3. Then the membership votes on your application at a membership meeting held every other month.

4. After you are voted into membership, your class price drops to the Members’ rate (currently $30).

5. If you become a member after the beginning of our fiscal year, your next year's dues are pro-rated.

 All members must volunteer their services annually for at least one of the Club's dog shows, community events, or special events.  You can download a membership application by clicking on Forms.
