# Aberdonian Dogs Owners Club
Aberdonian Dogs Owners Club (A.D.O.C) is a community-focused organisation based in Ellon that facilitates socialisation opportunities for dog owners and their pets. Established in November 2016, the club recognises that dogs of all breeds and sizes benefit from regular social interaction and exercise in a structured, supportive environment.
The club operates three types of walks to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Monthly "Big Dog Walks" serve as flagship events that bring together larger numbers of members, whilst afternoon and evening walks run approximately weekly to ensure accessibility for those with varying commitments. This tiered approach demonstrates their commitment to inclusivity—a core value reflected in their motto: "Every walk for every breed, no matter how big or small."
What sets A.D.O.C apart is their breed-agnostic philosophy and genuine enthusiasm for canine diversity. Rather than catering exclusively to specific breeds or dog types, they actively welcome all dogs, creating an inclusive environment where owners can build friendships and their pets can develop crucial social skills. The club's responsive expansion from monthly events to a more frequent schedule shows they've thoughtfully adapted their offering based on genuine demand from their community.
For dog owners in and around Ellon seeking affordable, regular socialisation for their companions without the formality of formal training classes, A.D.O.C provides an accessible and friendly solution that prioritises enjoyment alongside wellbeing.
