Basic Skills Class
Basic Obedience
Basic Obedience introduces the foundation level of teaching your dog practical skills, such as walking on a lead without pulling, settling on a mat, sitting and lying down when directed, coming when called, staying in position when told and socialising appropriately with others dogs and people.
The aim of the training is to prepare you and your dog to go on to other dog sport activities, such as Canine Good Citizen, Rally-O, or Competition Obedience.
Requirements
To register for Basic Obedience dogs need to be aged six months and over; consider our puppy class if your dog is below that age.
Dogs must be fully vaccinated to join a class.
Handlers under the age of 15 must seek prior approval from the appropriate coordinator before registering. As a club, we strive to ensure that our handlers maintain control over their dog while at the training grounds; therefore, junior handlers will be assessed on a case by case basis each term.
Obedience classes are held on Tuesday evenings, starting at 6:00 pm. There are sometimes classes offered on weekends, but this depends on demand.
