Every year in June NCOTC has one of the nations premier Obedience and Rally Trials in the beautiful Queeny Park Recreational Facility.

The trial draws exhibitors from many states.

In 2000 the coveted AKC Community Achievement Award was won by NCOTC. In one year our Dog Bite Prevention program was presented to over 3000 children in the North County area. Many club members are involved in this program plus nursing home visitations. NCOTC has had 14 “TOUCH” therapy dogs certified by the St. Louis based Support Dogs Inc. These dogs do pet assisted therapy in units of our local hospitals.

NCOTC developed the Dog Bite Prevention Program as a spin-off from the AKC Canine Ambassadors program. The kids are the group with the highest number of dog bite insurance claims, kindergarten and first graders.

In-room visitations with a dog can be the monthly highlight for many nursing home residents. Hospital visitations by our TOUCH team members could end up with a dog in the patients bed or physical therapy using the dog as a furry inducement to do exercises which lead to a speedy recovery.
