|
| Obedience classes are divided
into two levels - Junior classes and Senior classes. Our Junior
classes teach you all the skills you need to know for successful
dog training, and gets your dog to the point where it is a good
companion and pet for the whole family. After completing our Advanced
class you can get a certificate from the Club that states that
your dog is obedience trained, and the ACT Government will
recognise this and give a reduction in dog registration fees; you
will also have gained the appropriate level of control of your
dog to participate in Agility and Flyball,
Our Kindi class is for dogs younger than 6 months of age - although having a core of obedience training, this class also has some puppy specific content that helps pups and their handlers learn about each other. Beginners A is designed for people and dogs training for the first time, while Beginners B is a continuation for handlers/dogs who have progressed from our Kindi classes (and therefore has some understanding of our training methodology and principles). Our Senior classes extend the training already done and prepares both the handler and dog for more advanced obedience work. You can choose to compete in Obedience Trialling and attempt to gain Titles for your dog, or you can enter our fun Companion stream where you can continue advanced training without the pressure of official trials ... and you can swap between these two options if you feel the need for a change. |
