Wenatchee Kennel Club

The Wenatchee Kennel Club (WKC) is a vibrant community of dog enthusiasts dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership and fostering a love for canine companionship through education, training, and competition. Nestled in the heart of North Central Washington, our training center in East Wenatchee serves as a hub for dogs and handlers of all levels, from eager puppies to seasoned competitors. We welcome all breeds, whether purebred or mixed, and believe that every dog has the potential to thrive with proper training and guidance.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the WKC's mission is driven by a passion for enriching the lives of both dogs and their humans. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where owners can learn effective and humane training techniques, strengthening the bond with their furry companions. Through our diverse range of classes, events, and programs, we aim to empower owners to fully understand and meet their dogs' physical, mental, and emotional needs.

Dog Training Programs

At the heart of our organization lies our commitment to providing exceptional dog training programs. We offer year-round classes tailored to meet the needs of dogs and handlers at all stages of their journey. Our Pet Foundation classes provide a solid foundation in basic obedience and socialization, while our specialized classes delve into various canine sports such as agility, obedience, rally obedience, tracking, conformation dog shows, hunt tests, and more.

Our experienced and certified instructors utilize positive reinforcement methods, ensuring that training is not only effective but also enjoyable for both dogs and handlers. We believe that learning should be a positive experience, built on trust, respect, and clear communication.

Events and Competitions

Throughout the year, the WKC hosts a variety of events, welcoming not only our members but also the broader dog-loving community. These events, held under the rules of the American Kennel Club, provide opportunities for dogs and handlers to showcase their skills, compete against others, and make lasting memories.

From scent work trials to agility competitions, barn hunt events, and all-breed dog shows, there's something for everyone at the WKC. These events celebrate the unique bond between dogs and their humans, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared passion.
