Are you interested in celebrating and strengthening the bond with your dog and looking for fun things to do with them?
The Nebraska Kennel Club is made up of fellow dog lovers and offers events and education for pet parents and all dogs whether purebred or mixed breed. The NKC offers a multitude of dog sports and activities, including Conformation, Obedience, Rally, Fast CAT, Tracking, and Scent Work, as well as recommendations for training resources. There are so many reasons to become involved, and so much to do with your dog!

Cornhusker Fast CAT October 2-4, 2026
This is such exciting news! WE will be helping the Cornhusker Kennel Club with their Fast CAT event. They are stretched thin with needed volunteers between the All Breed Dog Show and the Fast CAT event. We all know the Fast CAT events can be a big draw for entries to a dog show. We are excited to be able to support another local club. The great news? All the profits from that event will come directly to us—so your support is extra meaningful!
Please consider volunteering even for a morning or afternoon shift if you are able. If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out to Michelle Myers. Thank you again for all you do—we can’t wait to see you at the track!

I am in need of a Chief Tracklayer and Chief Cross Track Layer.
