At Fred's Pass our Pet Dog Obedience training classes are divided into Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. At the end of the Intermediate class your dog should come, stay, walk on a loose lead, sit, drop and retrieve. Our methods are purely positive rewards based training and we are confident that we can teach you to train your dog, to the level you need. There is no limit to what you can achieve at Fred's Pass, be it a polite pet or a competition companion. We are happy to help you in any direction and as far as you like!

BEGINNER CLASS is open to all young dogs who are fully vaccinated (usually 16 wks) and any dog of any age that has no or little obedience training.

INTERMEDIATE CLASS is for those that are assessed to have the basics or have graduated from the Beginners Class.

ADVANCED CLASS is for the Intermediate Graduate who wants some higher level training. This class introduces some beginning trial work and fun competition games such as Rally O.

CLICKER TRAINING (for those that are interested, it is not compulsory), will be formally introduced in the Intermediate class.

Our intake night for Pet Dog Obedience is the First Tuesday of each month beginning in February.

The tools required for positive training are:

  • Plain flat collar or harness (no check chains);
  • Regular flat webbing lead;
  • Lots of treats;
  • Lots of praise;
  • Lots of enthusiasm; and
  • a sense of humor!

For your comfort & safety, please also remember these tips:

  • Please leave your dog in the car while you 'check-in' and pay your fees;
  • Take your dog for a 'toilet walk' before class, but be sure to pick-up after him - use 'poobags' & place in the bins provided;
  • Wear comfortable clothes that you can sit on the grass in, and closed in shoes (runners preferably, no thongs/scuffs/bare feet.);
  • "When it's raining, there's no training". Please call your Instructor or Club President to confirm when it looks "iffy", and discuss lessons to practice at home;
  • Protect yourself from mosquitoes & "midgies", which can be very fierce;
  • We provide water for dogs, but make sure you bring enough water for yourself;
  • Bring along your current C5 vaccination certificate on the first night you join.

    Look Mum! No hands.
