All RDOG Supporters stand behind responsible dog ownership and will continue to do so beyond RDOG WEEK.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Recycling and regular waste containers are available throughout the park, and a container for dog waste will be available in the RDOG Event area - so let's all do our part to keep the Park looking 'green'!

RDOG Purpose
The Canadian Kennel Club is committed to the furthering of responsibility for the ownership of dogs in Canada. As experienced and knowledgeable dog enthusiasts, we come together as members to support the dog-owning public by educating those owners in the responsibilities associated with bringing a dog into the home. This commitment brings with it significant responsibility - to the dog, the family and to the greater community in which you live.

From evaluating your readiness for a new dog, to determining the breed that is right for you, plus integrating the dog into the home through advice on health, training and canine good citizenship, CKC members across Canada provide the support, advice and guidance to families interested in canine companionship, to better enable Canadians to be responsible dog owners.

A message from the CKC:
Be responsible,
your dog will love you for it!
