Obedience
Training:
Puppy Pre-School Class
Cost $35 (4
weeks)
We offer a Puppy Pre-School for dogs aged 12
weeks. This class focuses on socialization activities so that puppies
feel comfortable around a variety of people and dogs. They are also
prepared for experiences such as visits to the vet and grooming.
Puppies are introduced to basic obedience which prepares them
to move into the Beginners class once they reach 4 months of
age if so desired.
Beginners Class
Cost $55 (8 weeks)
($25 if progressed from Puppy Class)
An 8 week Beginners course commences at the
beginning of each month (with the final course for each year
commencing in October and a midweek twilight course being offered in
January). This course will guide you through the basics of dog
obedience including correct use of training equipment, heeling, sitting,
standing, dropping, staying and the recall.
Grading System & Tests
Ongoing training Sessions
$2 for a 1 hour session
As you and your dog
learn more it is possible to progress up through the grades by passing
the tests which are usually held at the end of each month.
Grades currently progress from Grade 1 to Grade 4. This is
achieved by participating in weekly sessions of one hour designed to
reinforce the basic skills learned in the Beginners Class as well as
develop new skills as you and your dog progress through the grades.
