Applicants must take a basic Obedience class at IRDTC or a class equivalent to their current title level to apply for membership!

Submit Membership Application Form and Fee

Options: Download and print the application below, complete online or pick up a copy at the club.  If downloading or picking up at the club, complete and submit it to the Membership Team with a $50 application fee using the mailbox at the club or mail to: Indian River Dog Training Club, 1651 Robert J Conlan Blvd. NE, Palm Bay, FL 32905. One requirement is that you need two current IRDTC members to sign your application form as your sponsors.  Once your application is received, it will be reviewed by the IRDTC Board, and if everything is in order, you will be notified by the Membership Team of the date of the next Membership Meeting so you can attend and have your "First Reading" (see below).

 

"First Reading"

Attend one of our monthly membership meetings for a "First Reading" of your application before the membership, which serves as your introduction and basically gives everyone a chance to get to know you. (See "Upcoming Events" on the Home Page for dates and times of upcoming meetings.)

Complete Volunteer Work

Volunteer to help with some club activity before the "Second Reading" of your application.  If there is no club event scheduled at the time, see an officer or board member for options for another type of volunteer opportunity to be completed between your First and Second Readings.  

"Second Reading"

After your volunteer requirement is met, you must attend a second membership meeting where you will be re-introduced (with a "Second Reading" of your application) and be voted on for membership.  

Pay Membership Fee

If you are successfully voted in as a member, you must pay your dues for the current year in order to officially complete the process. If you become a member any time before September 1, you will pay full dues for the year ($50 individual / $70 for couple/family). If you become a member after September 1, only half of the dues amount is due for the current year.  After that, please note that dues are due by January 1, after which there is an additional $5.00 late fee.  If dues are not paid 30 days after the due date, membership is considered lapsed and will be terminated.
