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.



We support the Morris Animal Foundation.
