Applicants must complete an IRDTC basic Obedience class or a class equivalent to their current training level to apply for membership!

Submit Membership Application and Fee

You may: 1) Complete the application online or 2) Download and print the application below.  If downloading, complete and submit to: Membership with a $60 application fee using the mailbox at the club or mail to: Indian River Dog Training Club, Attn: Membership, 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 Chair (Karen McElyea) 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, which serves as your introduction and basically gives everyone a chance to get to know you. (The Membership Chair will contact you with dates and times of upcoming meetings.)

Complete Volunteer Work

Volunteer 10 hours before your "Second Reading" (see below).  The Membership Chair will advise you of available volunteer opportunities to be completed before your Second Reading.  

"Second Reading"

After your volunteer requirement is met, you must attend a second membership meeting where you will be re-introduced 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 before September 1, you will pay full dues for the year ($60 individual / $80 for household). If you become a member after September 1, your membership dues will cover you through the following year. 

Membership dues are due January 1.   A late fee of 10% per month will be assessed for dues paid more than 30 days after the due date up to 90 days.   After 90 days you will be required to reapply for membership.
