About Us
The K-9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville, Inc. was founded in 1951 as a non-profit organization. Our main purpose is to provide a place for dog enthusiasts to train their dogs in obedience and to help others to do so.
To further our goals and objectives we offer training, lessons, seminars, and informational programs at our monthly club meetings, as well as a beautiful and safe area in which to train.
K-9 holds four AKC licensed Obedience Trials a year at our Jacksonville, FL Training Center.
The First Coast Dog Obedience Club holds UKC Trials at our site in the Fall and the Spring, two weeks before the AKC trials.
Our Match Committee holds Obedience and Rally Show-n-Go's (Fun Matches) at our facility every month. See the Show-n-Go for details.
