Houston Obedience Training Dog Club Devoted to making dogs better companions and good canine citizens since 1964.

HOT has been an active part of Houston’s obedience community since the 60's and we are very proud of our reputation and the part HOT plays in furthering the sport of dog obedience and responsible pet ownership.

If after completing two obedience classes you are interested in getting more involved in obedience training, you can apply to become a member of HOT.  The first step is probationary membership which gives you time to get to know us and learn what HOT has to offer.  Being actively involved during this six-month period allow us the opportunity to get to know you and your dog, so new members are expected to assist two club classes, attend at least half of the club's general meetings, and work at least one club trial and event. 

After the probationary period has ended, HOT offers several levels of membership to those who wish to continue their affiliation with HOT and are willing to volunteer their time and energy to support the mission and goals of the Club.   All members are expected to actively participate and assist with classes, trials, events and activities in order remain an "eligible" member and enjoy the privileges and benefits that membership in HOT has to offer.

	Regular Membership is available for individuals who wish to continue their training and are at least 18 years old;
	Affiliate Membership is available for those who are at least 18 years old, do not currently have a dog to train, but support the mission and goals of the HOT Dog Club.
	Family Memberships are available for spouses, partners or children age 14 or older who live in the same household and either share or have their own dog(s) to train.

HOT has a lot to offer our members. First and foremost, HOT Dog Club is devoted to the sport of Obedience. Each year, HOT hosts Obedience and Rally Trials and stewards for other organizations at area obedience and rally events. We have tracking classes several times a year and hold TD, TDX and VST Tests if you are interested in pursuing a tracking title.  HOT hosts several Agility Trials, on site, in our agility field and holds AKC Canine Good Citizen® Tests, and Show 'n Go's in obedience, rally and agility, throughout the year. 

Members are kept informed of upcoming dog-related activities such as trials, matches, seminars, workshops and clinics in Houston and the Gulf Coast area so they may participate if they want. The club is very involved in ongoing education and sponsors  seminars, workshops and clinics for our members and the public.

We feel that HOT has something for everyone, regardless of their interest.  We hope you will have a long and productive relationship with our Club, and that you will earn many, many titles with your dog.  We look forward to working with you and we are glad you have chosen HOT to be YOUR dog club!
