Do you wish your dog walked nicely without pulling or dragging you along? Would you like them to learn to sit stand, drop and come when called? We have the right obedience class for you from puppy to adults.
This class is all about fun. It is the foundation of effective training methods to set you and your puppy up for success. You and your puppy will learn basic commands in addition to socialising your puppy with other dogs. Puppies must be at least 16 weeks old and fully vaccinated to be able to join.

Rally-O (short for Rally Obedience) is a fun sport for both owners or handlers and dogs. It’s a dog sport that’s more informal and relaxed compared to Obedience Trialling.
In Rally-O, you and your dog perform together by navigating a course and performing different tasks at each station marked by a sign. Working together and using positive praise throughout the course, you and your dog are learning skills that will apply to daily life. Our club offers Rally-O from Novice up to Masters level. Join us and see if this style suits you and your dog.
WHEN: Sunday morning (winter), Saturday afternoon (summer)
WHERE: Charlie Watt Reserve, Telegraph Point
Agility training is an exciting and challenging way to spend time with your dog. By leading your dog through a series of obstacles you and your dog will enjoy the challenge of beating your time and accuracy. Agility training provides a release for your dog’s energy and boosts your energy in a way that’s more interesting than just taking them for a walk.
