Events & Fun Days
SLODOG Member Appreciation Day & Meeting
Our officers Began a new tradition In 2006 by turning the club's annual potluck Fun Day Into a Member Appreciation Day. with the club supplying the food and refreshments as a thank you to all the members who volunteer throughout the year at SLODOG events, large and small.
Again, thanks one and all for the help throughout the year!! It takes a lot to pull particularly the big events together, and we couldn't do It with out you!!
A Dog's Day
SLODOG Is part public outreach, part member network. On the public outreach side, we demonstrate Flyball, Agility, Rally, Obedience and other fun yet disciplined-oriented sports at schools and public events throughout the year. Our big public event is A DOG'S DAY, our annual celebration of the dog; filled with food, fun, demonstrations, activities, competitions, and useful resources such as microchip implanting and Canine Good Citizen Testing.
Annual UKC Obedience & Rally Trial
SLODOG hosts a UKC (United Kennel Club) Obedience and Rally dog show In the fall. See Annual UKC Trial for more info. See our September calendar for more information. On the member network side, we have our monthly meetings and newsletter, our Saturday run-through practices, plus our SLODOG Fun Days. Once a year we offer a weekend lake side camp out to our members and their canine companions.
SLODOG calendar pages offer times, dates & locations of club activities as well as other dog related events available in the area.

Our Caring Canines' were invited once again to visit at Cal Poly the week prior to the students 'finals week', as an aid to help lower the student's stress with all the studying and pressure they're facing. What better way to relax than in the arms of a loving dog. One of the students said we'd better prepare because Cal Poly announced our dog visit on their Facebook page and 1000 students excitedly said they were going to find us.. and I think all 1000 made it too. The purpose of our visit is to give some down time to the students where they can be given time to not even think about their upcoming tests, and by the looks on several faces it's obvious that their finals are the last thing on their minds. The Cal Poly staff can see the benefits of having Therapy Dogs visit during the students' more stressful weeks and are incorporating Caring Canines' to help the students thru it.
