PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dog clutch system capable of reducing hammering sounds produced when engaging a clutch. SOLUTION: The dog clutch system comprises a clutch 1 and a clutch controller 20. In the clutch 1, a first engagement member 5 having a first teeth alignment 9 and a second engagement member 6 having a second teeth alignment 11 capable of being meshed with the first teeth alignment 9 are placed so as to be relatively rotatable around a common axis Ax. By moving by a driving device 7 the first engagement member 5 in the direction of the axis Ax, the clutch controller 20 switches the clutch 1 between the state of meshing of the first teeth alignment 9 and the second teeth alignment 11 and the state of releasing the first teeth alignment 9 from the second teeth alignment 11. In the process of switching the clutch 1 from a release state to an engagement state by the controller 20, the teeth 8 of the first teeth alignment 9 and the teeth 10 of the second teeth alignment 11 are allowed to collide with each other so that before meshing the first teeth alignment 9 with the second teeth alignment 11, movement of the first engagement member 5 in the direction of the axis Ax is stopped temporarily.
