About Us

Training

Obedience Training is held at the rear of Milton Showground, 107 Croobyar Road, Milton on Sunday mornings from February to December each year.  

 Puppies aged 16 weeks or under can join our Baby Puppy Training Class on any Sunday. Dogs over 16 weeks of age attend our Quick Start course which commences on the 1st Sunday of each month. Members continue their training in Classes 1, 2 and 3. There is no prescribed length of time a dog remains in any one class – including Quick Start, where you can remain until you feel confident about moving up. Click here for list of exercises practiced in each Class.

Assessment to graduate from Class 1 to Class 2 and Class 2 to Class 3 are held on 3rd Sunday in the month and is based on these assessment sheets: Class 1 Class 2 

Rally instruction classes are usually held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday afternoons in the month.  Trick training Classes are usually held 2nd and 4th Wednesday & Saturday afternoons each month. Ringcraft/Trialling Class usually held once a month on the fourth Sunday.  Instruction in sports events such as Disc work, Treibball and Flyball is offered when instructors are available and there is member interest.
