-----------------

SVKC meets in Harrisonburg, Virginia, in the center of the lovely Shenandoah Valley. We're a small, hardworking club and pride ourselves on being open and welcoming to members new to the area or new to dogs. Like most kennel clubs, Shenandoah Valley's membership is a cross-section of the

community. We come from the professional fields, education, the pet care industries, farming, and business. We're retirees, students, housewives, and business people, and our experience in the dog world ranges from breeders and judges with decades to draw on, to people who just obtained their first dogs. Our interests run from agility to obedience and rally to conformation. Some of us breed, some train and compete in various dog sports, and some of us just enjoy our dogs as pets and companions.The common thread weaving through the entire membership is our love of dogs and our belief that pets are as good for people as people are for pets! We have annual conformation dog shows, obedience and rally competitions, agility trials, dock diving and Fast CAT. We have also sponsored Responsible Dog Ownership Day events. SVKC is always open to new ideas and people who want to help implement them! While we do not regularly offer training classes nor have our own facility, we can sometimes help get you connected with clubs or individual trainers in the area.

There is nothing natural about large numbers of unfamiliar dogs partaking in high-intensity activity in a dog park, and this shouldn’t be the benchmark for a social dog. If your dog is not their best in such an environment, you are not doing anything wrong. 👏👏 There is nothing wrong with your dog. 👏👏 Your dog is normal. 👏👏

Congratulations to club member Kim Matson and Miz!
