The club conducts classes for obedience and puppies on Sunday mornings, while agility, tricks, and dances with dogs classes are held on Wednesday evenings. The training schedules can be checked on their calendar, and memberships for 2023 can be found on their social media pages.
The club welcomes dog owners who want to train their pets in a fun and positive environment. Their objective is to promote responsible pet ownership and to train dogs to be companionable and useful in everyday life. They strive to make training enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, using reward-based methods that build trust and confidence. By participating in their training programmes, dog owners can enhance their relationship with their furry friends.
The Northern Suburbs Training & Obedience Dog Club is proudly sponsored by Better Pets and Gardens and Meals for Mutts, ensuring that members have access to quality products and services. The club is run entirely by volunteers, and they are always looking for help from the community.
