Companion Dog School of Tulsa is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run dog training club established in 1955, offering group classes in Puppy Kindergarten, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Nosework, and Conformation. All classes use proven, concise, and logical training methods aligned with AKC and UKC standards. The school welcomes all breeds and mixed breeds, and offers discounted rates for rescue dogs. Classes are held at their facility in Tulsa, OK, and require dogs to be current on rabies vaccinations. Most classes are 8–9 weeks long with four sessions per year, and prerequisites are clearly listed for each level. The school emphasizes positive reinforcement, though some reviews note inconsistent application of methods. They provide structured progression from Basic Manners to Competition Novice and Advanced Obedience, as well as Rally levels from Beginning to Rally 2, and offer free drop-in Rally Practice Run Thru sessions for enrolled students and members.

Puppy classes start as early as 8 weeks and include socialization and foundational skills. Agility training begins with puppy-sized equipment and progresses to full courses. Nosework classes are inspired by detection dog training, and Conformation focuses on breed-standard handling. The school does not offer private, in-home, board-and-train, or day training services.

The facility is spacious and community-oriented, with a strong volunteer instructor base. Students are encouraged to register online through their DogBizPro portal, and class schedules are posted 2–3 weeks before each session begins.

Accomplishments

Established in 1955, Companion Dog School of Tulsa has trained countless dogs and owners over nearly 70 years. They align with AKC and UKC standards and offer AKC STAR Puppy certification in one of their Puppy Kindergarten classes.
