What is Obedience?
Taking the time to learn to train your dog to be sociable with other dogs and people can be incredibly rewarding when you gain a loyal and devoted canine partner. Our experienced volunteers can teach you the basic obedience skills and help you develop your skills so you can compete in ribbon days and championship competitions where you can test your skills with your canine companion in an event testing your partnership with obedience patterns, stays, retrieves, recalls and finding scents. The bonus is you get to meet other âdoggyâ people with similar interests. Contact our obedience coordinator if you would like to reap the rewards of a better relationship with your canine companion, or experience the opportunity to give your precious pup a purpose.
Getting Started
So when you have decided that obedience training is for you and your pup, providing he or she has completed the Foundation for Dog Sports class is at least 4 months of age we welcome you. Email our obedience coordinator to register your interest. At Taieri Canine Training Club we offer the following Obedience Classes.
Beginner Obedience :
This will take the skills you’ve learned from the Foundation for Dog Sports class, and build on those so that you and your dog can get a good grasp of the foundations for competitive obedience.
Competition Obedience :
this class builds on the beginner obedience class and gets dogs and handlers ready to compete in obedience. You will enter this class when the beginner obedience trainer thinks you’re at the correct level.
