Founded in 1881, The Scottish Kennel Club exists to protect and promote the interests and well-being of dogs in Scotland.

The Scottish Kennel Club is THE place to come for every piece of information you could ever need to do with DOGS.

Ever felt like showing your dog, Training Classes in Scotland will show you a list of Ringcraft classes. There you’ll learn how to look after, groom and handle your dog and your dog will make friends.

The Club runs two Championship Dog Shows every year in May and August. Why not come for a visit and talk to the experienced people in the breeds and see the very best dogs.

Maybe you want classes to teach obedience. Well, clicking Obedience is where you’ll find a list of classes which can help you from puppyhood to champions. You’ll learn how to teach your dog kindly and your dog can learn how to be a Good Citizen as well as finding out what’s on and where.

What about keeping fit with Agility – the dog does the jumps and weaves and tunnels and you do the running. If you click the Agility button, you’ll find pages of classes, forthcoming events and a Beginners’ Guide. Great fun and a great bond with your dog!

The Club also runs Working Trials on separate days where dogs must jump, scent and track. Watch the instincts come to the fore and be dazzled by the dogs’ ability.

To find out all about them go to the pages in this site by clicking on the appropriate button.

The Club also runs Seminars and has two competitions for Top Open Show Dog/Puppy and Top Championship Dog and Top Junior Handler. Find out how to qualify by clicking the ‘Special Events’ Button.
