We train you to
train your dog
Collectively, our volunteer instructors have over 80 years of experience, so they’re sure to be able to help you no matter what you want to achieve from dog obedience.
We train you to train your dog to respond to basic commands, e.g. sit, stay, come, so that you have control over your dog in a range of situations.
Puppy Classes
If you’ve just got a new puppy, or you’ve done puppy school at your local vet and would like to continue training, our Beginners and Advanced Beginners classes are ideal for you.
You’ll learn the importance of puppy socialisation and we lay the groundwork of basic obedience training.
See Class Details below for more information.
Obedience Classes
Imagine your dog sitting nicely to get a pat
rather than jumping on you or visitors, or lying peacefully at your feet while you have a coffee and a chat with a friend.
If you’ve done some basic training with your dog and you’re looking to have a better behaved dog or trial, our tiered obedience classes are for you.
See Class Details below for more information.
Agility Classes
If your dog is energetic, loves a challenge and responds well to voice commands, our agility classes are great fun for you and your dog.
Agility involves directing your dog around an obstacle course in an attempt to both negotiate the obstacles correctly and ‘beat the clock’. Obstacles comprise various types of jumps, ramps, elevated walks, poles that the dogs weave through, different
types of tunnels and a seesaw.
See Class Details below for more information.
