Beginners Class

This class is for dogs which have had little or no training and for puppies which have had all their vaccinations (C5) - usually about 16 weeks of age. If you have a younger puppy, or one who has not yet all his "needles", we recommend you enroll him at a Puppy Pre-school class. Talk to one of our Instructors for more information. We will show you how to prepare your dog for further training, and you will learn how to teach him basic behaviours.

This class is an 8 week course on how to teach him all the foundation behaviours required of a well-adjusted, obedient canine companion.

In this class you will be taught to teach your dog how to:

• Walk on a loose lead
• Calming techniques
• Watch (Attention)
• Come
• Drop
• Sit & Greet
• Basic tricks
• Stay

You will then graduate into "Intermediate" Class

Intermediate Class

This class is an 8-week course on how to teach him all the behaviours required of a well-adjusted, obedient canine companion.

• Targetting
• Stay

• Leave it
• Stay
• On your Mat

Once you have reached this level, you may like to keep going, and so we offer our "Advanced" and "Trialling" classes, which are geared towards getting you into the competition Obedience rings.

Advanced Class

Trial Class

Commences at 8:00 pm

We are affiliated with the North Australian Canine Association Inc and what this means, in a nutshell, is that our Club is able to hold sanctioned events, such as obedience trials, agility & jumping trials where competitors can gain qualifications towards ANKC - recognized titles for your dog. The instruction you receive at our Club will help you on your way to successfully compete at these events, so if this is what you'd like to do, talk to your instructor about what you need to do to register yourself and your dog with the NACA.

At this point too, you can start to learn about agility - a great competitive sport for you and your dog to enjoy.

Dogs which are registered with the North Australian Canine Association (NACA) may compete in championship shows, obedience and agility trials.
