Tri-State Kennel Club, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in 1936.  Our main focus is responsible dog ownership to help you train your dog to become a happy, healthy and socially acceptable member of our community.

The club is involved in several activities each year. In addition to the two all breed dog shows, two scent work trials and three agility trials, the club offers fun matches and seminars, and tests for the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program, Canine Good Citizen, Canine Good Citizen Advanced and the Urban Canine Good Citizen. We also have members who volunteer their time to train or judge for our local youth in 4-H at local county fairs. We sponsor a local therapy dog group and have a Tester/Observer for Alliance of Therapy Dogs, ATD.
