The Belconnen Dog Obedience Club (BDOC) was formed in 1975 to provide dog training instruction and facilities for people living in North Canberra. BDOC moved to its current location in Mitchell (or future Kenny) in May 1997.
The Club's main activity is obedience training but many other activities are also provided such as flyball and agility.
