WHO WE AREThe Upper Iowa Training Club, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1995 for the betterment of our canine friends through public education, community activities, and various canine-related events.
We are a group of dog enthusiasts living among the Midwest. We come together from all walks of life with a common bond: we enjoy our dogs and the people connected with them. As an AKC affiliated Club, we are excited to bring events to the Decorah area and the surrounding community. Our club is most known for hosting rally and obedience trials with amazing judges and friendly staff. |
