Who is DOTE?
DOTE was founded by "ex" club members who wanted to escape the politics and "BS" that many other dog clubs had.
The primary function of DOTE (other than to train the dogs) is to
have fun. We train our dogs in what field we would feel that we would enjoy, and our dogs would enjoy.
No pressure to get certification (but it is nice!). No pressure to compete against each other. No pressure to do anything.
