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.
