Our trainers are highly certified and professional. They continue their education so they always know the best, gentlest, and fastest ways to help your dog gain amazing results.
Beginning with our puppy class, socialization is an important aspect of our training. The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test is offered to "proof" your dog's socialization among dogs and people.
Year round classes of various levels of competency provide the opportunity to enter obedience and rally competitions or to simply continue adding new skills and talents for you and your canine.
If you are interested in showing your dog in the conformation ring, we offer small classes.
For over fifty years the club has been a member of the American Kennel Club. We host annual trials in agility, obedience and rally, tracking, and scent work.
Bimonthly member meetings feature speakers and topics of interest to dog owners and opportunities to network.
For the past 20 years in memory of member Marilyn Runyan,the club has made an annual monetary donation to a veterinarian clinic or foundation. This year a donation of over $1000 raised from our Holiday Photos went to Dentistry for Animals. Dr. Judy Force DVM, FAVD, DAVDC and her staff will use the funds for those who cannot afford the entire cost of a treatment.
The Monterey Bay Dog Training Club is a member of the American Kennel Club. This is our 60th anniversary. We began as an Obedience and Dog training club and now offer Agility and Scent Work Trials. We have bimonthy meetings and various fund raising activities that benefit the two causes alongside this post.
Our annual scholarship of $1000 is awarded to a local student enrolled in the veterinary school at the Univ. of California at Davis. The 2025 recipient is Chris Han. I am sincerely honored to be the recipient of the scholarship. My veterinary interests focus on companion animal medicine with a special emphasis on behavior, preventative medicine, and strengthening the human-animal bond. I hope to work in a clinical setting that prioritizes both physical and behavioral wellness, while also collaborating with rescue organizations and training professionals to support adoptability and longterm success in the home. I am particularly interested in reducing surrender rates by addressing behavioral challenges through early intervention and owner education.
2027 TBD, Manzanita Park
Trials at Manzanita Park, Prunedale.
