Dogs are said to be man’s best friend. As with all friends, we want to share time and activities together with our dogs. Our Club provides opportunities for almost everyone to get involved with their dogs. Members range from ten to 70+ years old. Our classes range from basic obedience and agility to competition-level training. We have members who show their dogs in conformation and compete in various performance events, some who enjoy visiting nursing homes and schools, and some super-achievers who do it all! At the very least, we all enjoy the network of fellow dog-lovers.
We take the responsibility of our dogs to heart by involving ourselves in the community. From fun events like the Christmas parade to staying heavily involved in dog safety, our Club stresses responsible dog ownership. More than anything, we love spending time with our dogs and welcome anyone with similar interests to join us.

"The poor dog, in life the firest friend, the first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still the master's own. Who labors, fights lives, breathes for him alone.
