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 — but local dog parks 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 — and so do all the dogs who’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 — because not every dog wants the same kind of party. We’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 — one tail wag at a time.

Pack Leader

Felix joined Social Dogs Club in early 2024, bringing with him a love for hiking 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), there’s a good chance they just had a Felix-style adventure.

Zoe joined Social Dogs Club in Spring 2025, drawn by her love for dogs and a shared belief in safe, structured socializing.

She has a calm, intuitive way with dogs — especially the big ones. Whether it’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 “dog whisperer,” she builds trust quickly and helps every dog feel like part of the pack.
