ABOCI was one of the first all breed dog clubs in San Diego to embrace positive reinforcement and other non-aversive techniques to train dogs. 

Members of ABOCI gain access to series of classes for 25% less than nonmembers. The club also offers occasional workshops and connects you with a supportive group of dog lovers, many of whom have extensive experience raising and training dogs. 

Each year at the annual meeting, members choose an organization to be the recipient of a donation from the club.
