The High Desert Obedience Club (HiDOC) was formed in 1981, in Lancaster, California, by a small group of people all sharing the same interest...Dogs. Gradually the club became more organized and in January of 1986, the club received it's nonprofit incorporation status. From that small beginning to the present the club has grown by leaps and bounds. Promoting responsible dog ownership and educational programs, High Desert Obedience Club is a member of the American Dog Owners Association, California Federation of Dog Clubs and supports the Lancaster Animal Shelter.


The two day Snake Avoidance Training Clinic for dogs hosted by High Desert Obedience Club and the Bark at the Park Committee was a huge success! We tested 56 dogs and most of them got an A grade. Thanks to EVERYONE who helped and a big thank you to Karen and Rusty from Singleton's for teaching us so much!
