About ECHO Club, Inc.
 |
ECHO Club, Inc. was formed over 30 years ago by a dedicated
group of people who wanted to spend time working with their dogs and
learning from other dog owners. |
|
Over the years ECHO has attracted a number of highly skilled members
who participate in almost every dog activity imaginable, from
obedience and agility training and competitions to pet therapy visits
and training assistance dogs. |
|
Our members are involved in tracking, flyball, search and rescue,
sheep herding, carting and water rescue, even sledding and winter
racing. ECHO Club members do it all. |
|
We are licensed by the United Kennel Club (UKC), and host both
obedience and agility trials several times a year. |
|
After offering training in various area communities over the years,
ECHO finally found a permanent home located on two acres in Buchanan,
Michigan |
|
ECHO is the premier dog training club in the Michiana area and offers
training at all levels. So whether you want to compete, or just have
a dog who comes when called, ECHO has a training class for you. |
|
We are dedicated to helping dog owners learn to live with their dog
and enjoy a long-lasting relationship. Our highly skilled instructors
will help you train your dog to fit into your life-style. |
