This is for those interested in Class 3 and above or those with prior experience may apply for assessment. The training will only run if there is sufficient uptake.
Obedience classes run on a two monthly cycle with a test on the last week to see if the dog is ready to progress to the next level of training.
Please bring your dog/puppy's current vaccination certificate. We recommend that you join and bring your dog/puppy as soon as he/she is vaccinated, this way both you and your dog can get used to the training field prior to starting your class.
Our classes are available to dogs of all ages, from puppies (our puppy foundation course is for puppies between 3 and 10 months) to the older dog. We believe that the way to show your dog how to behave is through kindness, fun and patience. We do not allow the use of punitive training methods.
Please bring a lead to class (not an expander or chain type), a suitable collar, poo bags, a toy and some treats your dog really likes, the one's that can be broken into soft, small pieces are best such as cheese, hotdog sausages, cocktail sausages and liver.
Below are examples of suitable collars, leads and toys:
