canine organizations

Canine organizations are groups dedicated to the welfare, training, and research of dogs. They set standards for responsible breeding, promote proper care, and often oversee certification or licensing for service, therapy, or working dogs. These organizations may provide training resources, organize competitions, and advocate for dogs’ health and rights. Examples include breed clubs, obedience associations, and advocacy groups like the American Kennel Club or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Their goal is to ensure dogs are healthy, well-behaved, and valued members of society.
