SJC Dog Club
SJC Dog is a free club open to all community members in San Juan County, WA. The club’s vision is to build a community that promotes the love of dog sports and helps people improve their dog’s life skills and mutual relationship through goal-oriented training.
It’s a place for you and your dog to connect, learn, and mentor.
Your dog doesn’t need to know anything to start, neither do you! Newbies of all ages welcome, as well as dogs that “need work”!
You and your dog can do this!
Dog club is a safe environment for dogs and their owners to practice without the stress of random encounters or nose-to-nose interaction. Dogs are always on leash and stay in their own bubble, so teams can learn and practice around other people and dogs while engaging in fun activities. A great way to build life skills. Practice makes better!
My dog is good in public
Explore fun dog sports that you can participate in alone or as part of a group, or work towards earning your CGC certificate. Attend practices where your dog can provide essential support to other dogs as they learn public manners.
My dog can be fearful
Dog club can be a wonderful confidence booster. Whether navigating a simple agility course or performing a familiar obedience routine, simply working around other dogs and handlers can help build confidence.
My dog is rowdy or reactive
Learning functional life skills is one of the best gifts you can give your dog. Dog club provides a safe place to practice. You control the variables, choosing distance and level of interaction, if any… unlike “out in the world”.
