About SLODOG
SLODOG is a conglomeration of California Central Coast dog-loving individuals dedicated to responsible dog ownership. We aim to promote the training and exhibition of dogs in a variety of disciplines; to promote and maintain among the group a warm friendship and the highest quality of sportsmanship; to educate the public as to the care and proper training of dogs as pets, companions, and working members of the community; to sponsor public events that demonstrate to the community the benefits of dog obedience training; to hold meetings to plan activityies and conduct group business; and to conduct NADAC and UKC licensed obedience, conformatin and agility trials.
Whether you have a purebred dog or an All-American, we're sure both you and your dog will find a cozy spot at SLODOG! Visit our activity pages -- Agility, Conformation, SLODOG Events, Flyball, Herding, Obedience, and Therapy Dog -- for information about our club's many areas of interest.
Monthly Meetings
SLODOG members gather for a general meeting at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of every month. Most often we meet at San Luis Obispo's Petco (805-596-0836) in the Community Room, which is in the back of the store (thanks, Petco, for use of the space). Sometimes we meet at a club member's house, usually in the North County. Check the Calendar at right for specific dates and meeting locations. For Petco meetings, please bring your own chair -- or be prepared to sit on the floor!
A few times a year, the monthly meeting is replaced by a playday at Canine Academy in Atascadero. Skim our Calendar page for dates and times.
SLODOG Events
Our club sponsors several events -- some open to the public, some for club members only -- each year. Informal "events" include our Saturday run-thoughs: members gather at an agreed-upon local park to practice Obedience, Flyball and Agility. Formal events include our annual Agility Trial and our annual Obedience Trial. See our Events page for more information.
