Founder, Pack Leader, Dog Lover

Jake started Social Dogs Club with one simple question: Is there a safer, better way for my dog to make real friends?

Back then, his pup Frankie was sweet, social, and full of energy โ€” but dog parks in Victoria felt chaotic and unpredictable. Jake wanted something more intentional for her. So he began organizing small, thoughtful pack adventures with other like-minded dogs.

Fast-forward three (and a bit) years, and Frankie now has more friends than she can count โ€” and so do all the dogs whoโ€™ve joined SDC along the way.

Today, Social Dogs Club is built on connection, safety, and fun. We run multiple packs, carefully matched by personality, size, and energy level โ€” because not every dog wants the same kind of party. Weโ€™re fully insured through Profur, licensed by the CRD, and first-aid certified across the board.

What started as a love letter to Frankie has grown into a trusted community โ€” one tail wag at a time.

Pack Leader

Felix joined Social Dogs Club in early 2024, bringing with him a love for hiking around Victoria and a soft spot for dogs of all shapes and sizes. His specialty? The oversized goofballs or the tiny-but-mighty underdog groups.

With first-aid certification, Profur insurance, and a calm, confident energy, Felix is a pro at keeping dogs safe, happy, and fully engaged.

If your dog comes home extra tired (and extra happy), thereโ€™s a good chance they just had a Felix-style adventure.

She has a calm, intuitive way with dogs โ€” especially the big ones. Whether itโ€™s helping a nervous pup feel at ease or managing group dynamics with confidence, Zoe brings a grounded, thoughtful energy to every walk.

Known among the team as our โ€œdog whisperer,โ€ she builds trust quickly and helps every dog feel like part of the pack.
