HOW TO JOIN OUR EXCLUSIVE CLUB
We are a fun, friendly, family oriented club dedicated to helping you and your dog achieve your goals and realise your potential. Whether you’re wanting to learn the basics, after the challenge of advanced obedience and agility, or the high energy and excitement of flyball are more your style, we have it all and more.
PUT YOUR PUPS BEST PAW FORWARD
Puppy preschool provides the perfect opportunity for puppies aged 8 – 12 weeks to socialise and learn with other vaccinated puppies in a safe and friendly environment. Socialising your puppy early will go a long way to ensuring your pup grows into a happy, confident and well adjusted dog.
WHAT CLASS IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Your dogs age and current level of obedience will assist us in determining the right level of class for you. We also take into consideration your skills as a handler. On the first day of training the Obedience Coordinator will assess how you and your dog work as a team and assign you both to the class that best suits your needs.

RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS PROGRAM (RDOP) starting 5th March through to 9th April 2025.
This is a 7 week basic obedience program. The classes are kept small. We work with handlers who are having issues such as pulling on lead, recall, anxiety, reactivity, socialisation.
We have dog behaviouralist and the Council dog ranger come along and give us a talk. At the 5th week we do a pack Street walk where all dogs walk in a pack around Central Ballarat. Thiere will be a graduation night with a ribbon and goodie bag from our sponsors Haymarket, PetStock, Possum Pets and Ballarat City Council.
The cost is $80 or $60 with a health or pension card. Please ring Carol on 0431 225 596 to register your place.
