Welcome!

Education, Training and Competition!

We are a club of dog sports enthusiasts in North Central Washington with our training center located in East Wenatchee, Washington. The mission of the Wenatchee Kennel Club (WKC) is to promote responsible pet ownership and to engage handlers and dogs in learning activities that exercise the brains and muscles of both handlers and dogs. We welcome all purebred and mixed breed dogs and their handlers who want to build great canine companionship. The Wenatchee Kennel Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We offer dog training classes year-round for dog owners and handlers and their dogs. We teach you how to train your dog to get the behaviors you want using positive methods. You will love your dog even more through this process, which will reflect in your dog’s love for you. Our Pet Foundation classes include training for puppies through adult dogs.

Many of our classes are geared towards participation in various dog sports such as Agility, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Tracking, Dog Shows (Conformation), Hunt Tests, and others. Generally, our 7-week classes begin every two months.

We host several events each year under the rules of the American Kennel Club. While we encourage membership, you don’t have to be a member to participate in our classes, events or general meetings.

WKC Featured Pups - Miska and Topaz

Submitted by Dianne G.

Miska (8) and Topaz (4) are Tibetan Terriers from Angel’s Tibetan Terriers of Oregon. They are sweet, funny, smart, stubborn and my constant companions and guarders of the court we live on. Miska is my “cat”, she loves being with you and will always choose to be with you… just out of arms reach; but the love in her eyes and the closeness is constant and full of joy. Topaz on the other hand wants to be in your lap constantly and always lays as close as she can get, preferably with your hand loving her continuously. She has never found a lap that she didn’t try to sit on and always enjoys a new lap! Miska and I started an Agility for Fun class in 2017 with the intent of not trialing but having fun. Fun we had! When we moved to Wenatchee, it was a high priority that there would be an agility training facility to continue playing with Miska. We have been a part of the Wenatchee Kennel Club since 2018 when we moved to Wenatchee. Miska and Topaz both participate in Agility and Scent Work. Miska constantly shows her independence and stubbornness in both sports. She can “perform” with the best… if she wants to. Topaz loves to play both Agility and Scent Work. Topaz feels that it should always be her turn and doesn’t understand why it is not her turn. We only participate in the Wenatchee Kennel Club Trials in both sports, so trials are few and far between. In between trials, we all like to walk/hike, kayak and camp. We have a small travel trailer, we love our road trips. Happy tails all around when the trailer comes home, the two pups are usually first in the truck ready to go. The four of us can never get enough of being outside and enjoying God’s beautiful country. We are on the go as often as possible.
