BASIC OBEDIENCE
For dogs 6 months and older

"Never Too Old To Learn New Tricks"
That old saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, couldn’t be further from the truth.

The truth is, regardless of age, dogs can be taught new skills.
The other plus is that regular obedience training can assist in eliminating most behaviour problems exhibited by bored, unstimulated and
un-socialised dogs.

The basic course is designed to give your dog a good workable knowledge of basic obedience commands as well as a structured socialisation program
.
We hold our Basic Obedience classes at two convenient locations. Saturday mornings at Keilor Park and Sunday mornings at Diggers Rest. Please refer to the Contact Us page for locations

Our fee structure is simple, one fee covers you for either 6 months or 12 months of weekly training or until your dog fully satisfies the *Basic level criteria and is formally passed, whichever is the sooner. We do not place unrealistic timeframes on our levels, therefore your dog trains at its own pace.

For those of you wishing to alternate between Saturday and Sunday mornings, please note that a small additional fee for this will be payable.
