Friendly, Inclusive Support for Local Dogs and the People Who Love Them!
At FiveJays Dog Club, we believe that life with your dog should be an absolute joy. We are a friendly, inclusive local charity dedicated to one simple mission: putting dog training, health, welfare, and happiness right at the heart of our community.
Whether you are an experienced breeder, a proud lifelong owner, or a first-time puppy parent, you have a place in our family. We know that training your dog shouldn’t feel like a chore—it should be fun, rewarding, and a beautiful way to bond with your four-legged best friend. We are here to support you every single step of the way.
Shaping the Best Place in the UK to Be a Dog!
What We Do
Built on a proud foundation and legacy of over forty years working for the benefit of dogs in our community, we are a modern, progressive, and inclusive small charity.
Passionately led by expert volunteers, we are by your side every single step of your dog walk. We provide free and subsidised training classes for every dog —from Puppy Foundation and Obedience to Scentwork, Flyball, and Agility—alongside educational workshops and digital resources that promote responsible ownership.
Beyond our fun social and competition events, our dual objectives blend public safety education with active grant-making to fund emergency veterinary treatment, support local rescues, assistance dogs and relieve canine suffering.
Together, let’s make our community the best place in the UK to be a dog—and their owner!
Making a Difference!
Our Grant-Making and Public Benefit
At FiveJays, our love for dogs extends far beyond our training spaces. We aim to act as a vital funding backbone for front-line canine rescue and welfare initiatives right here in our local area.
We know that local rescue shelters, assistance dogs and veterinary welfare charities do incredible work, but they are often stretched to their limits. Instead of duplicating what they do, we make targeted grants and donations to enable, support, and enhance their vital services. The right help, at the right time for local dogs.
When you support us, through our dedicated Health & Welfare Fund you are directly funding local assistance dogs, emergency medical treatments, rehabilitation, and secure, loving shelter for local dogs facing neglect, sickness, or distress.
