About Peninsula Dog Obedience Group

Volunteer-run dog club in Soldotna

Peninsula Dog Obedience Group (PenDOG) is a non-profit 501(c)(4) dog training club on Kalifornsky Beach Road in Soldotna. All instructors are volunteers, and class fees go toward rent and utilities for the training space. Its stated goal is to help owners have the best possible relationship with their dogs, whether that means a peaceful walk on a loose leash or the thrill of agility competition.

PenDOG offers classes in obedience (basic and competition), agility, Manners for the Family Dog, Puppy Kindergarten, Canine Good Citizen, nose work, Barn Hunt, Rally, Trick Dog and conformation. Puppy Kindergarten, Barn Hunt and the Good Dog, Real-Life Challenges class run on an ongoing basis with no set start or end date.
