A Brief History of the Vallejo Dog Training Club
The Vallejo Dog Training Club was activated on October 12, 1949. The club held its first AKC-sanctioned Obedience Trial on June 18,1950, at Corbus Field in Vallejo, CA. The 1951 Obedience Trial was held at the Solano County Fairgrounds, and all subsequent trials have been held at this location.
The Club is a non-profit organization with community services being a high priority. Our most recent efforts have been to help the Vallejo Police Department's Canine Unit obtain agility equipment for training their K-9 officers and to assist the Vallejo Fire Department by providing all the city fire trucks with sets of animal respiratory masks.
The Vallejo Dog Training Club maintains two memorial scholarships at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California - Davis. The Beckye Austin Scholarship is given annually for a deserving student, in the area of small animal medicine, who resides in Solano or Napa counties, and the Neva Corboff Memorial Scholarship is given annually to a deserving student who is from the State of California.
Our training classes, obedience trial, and agility and rally events are planned to accommodate the public need.
