Best Friends Dog Club (BFDC) of Sun City celebrates our love of dogs with pet-friendly activities, training opportunities and shared friendships. We provide a supportive community for members to learn, socialize and participate in events with their dogs. We promote responsible dog ownership and help you to nurture a stronger bond with your dog. In essence, BFDC is a community hub where passion for dogs translates into shared learning, enjoyable activities and a collective commitment to the well-being of our canine companions.

The club offers an extensive program of dog (and people) training classes, from the most basic to advanced obedience, tricks, agility, rally, scent work, select behavioral classes and more. Our classes are held under the beautiful shaded training yard at Fairway Recreation Center. We are proud of our outstanding trainers, who teach with love, patience and TREATS!

We also have monitored practice sessions that offer socialization for both the dogs and their owners, as well as the space and time to practice the skills that you are learning in your classes.

Our Social Activities Include:

• Dog walks at local community parks, where we enjoy fresh air, friendly chats, and happy tails.

• Game nights featuring fun activities for both people and pups.

• Group dining outings at pet-friendly restaurants where we share great food, drinks, laughter, and plenty of tail wags.

• Seasonal celebrations throughout the year, including festive Valentines Day, Halloween, Christmas parties, and our annual “Bark in the Park” picnic — a favorite event for both two- and four-legged friends!
