Tuggeranong Dog Training Club is a well-established sports club located in Canberra, Australia. Founded in 1995, the club was created to meet the community's need for obedience training for dogs. As a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation, Tuggeranong Dog Training Club aims to provide a fun, supportive environment for dog owners to train their pets.
The club offers a graduated training programme, allowing owners and their dogs to progress at their own pace. Whether you're looking to have a well-behaved companion or interested in competing in events like flyball, agility, rally obedience, scent works, tricks, or obedience trialling, Tuggeranong Dog Training Club has classes to suit your needs.
The club facilities include a clubhouse that is open during training sessions, providing access to toilets and the club store, where you can find essential training products such as leads and training pouches. The training grounds are fully fenced and equipped with exercise/socialising yards, which are available for members to use both during training sessions and outside of training hours.
To join the club, simply check the website for the available training dates and class times. It's important to note that dogs must be over three months old and have had a full course of vaccinations, with vaccinations kept up to date.
Tuggeranong Dog Training Club's website also provides information about the club's history. Initially operating from a temporary site on Anketell Street, the club relocated to its current location on Rowland Rees Crescent, Greenway, in 2000. The new site offers improved facilities, including a clubhouse, lighting, a sealed parking area, grass seeding, irrigation, fencing, and the planting of trees and shrubs.
Obedience classes for dogs over three months old are held every Sunday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am and every Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the club grounds in Greenway. These classes serve as the foundation for developing a strong and positive relationship between dogs and their owners.
