Dedicated to Dogs and Their People Since 1989
The Northern Neck Kennel Club began with a simple belief: every dog owner deserves access to quality training and every dog deserves the chance to thrive. What started as a small group of dedicated dog lovers in Lancaster County has grown into a thriving community serving the entire Northern Neck region.
Today, we're proud to be an AKC-sanctioned club offering comprehensive training programs, hosting prestigious dog shows, and fostering responsible dog ownership throughout our community. Our home at the Fricke Pavilion provides a safe, climate-controlled environment where dogs and handlers can learn year-round.
What Sets Us Apart
Certified Instructors: Our trainers bring decades of combined experience in obedience, agility, rally, and specialized training.
Inclusive Community: Mixed breeds, rescues, and purebreds all train side by side
AKC Programs: Official testing site for Canine Good Citizen, S.T.A.R. Puppy, and temperament certifications

Our Mission
We encourage and promote responsible dog ownership through accessible obedience classes, educational seminars, and community programs designed to strengthen the human-canine bond. Every dog is welcome here—from purebred champions to beloved mixed breeds.
