FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS
This year we would love to hear your suggestions and feedback on how we can help you better in 2027. Instructors will be handing out short surveys which will be kept anonymous and can be submitted by dropping them in the white bucket under the verandah. We welcome ALL feedback!
Our training sessions are held on Sunday mornings from 9:00AM to 12:00pm and Wednesday evenings from 7:00PM to 8:30PM.
Come along, have fun and build lasting bonds between you and your dog.
Entirely run by volunteers, the Noarlunga City Obedience Dog Club Inc. will help you to train your dog to become a well-mannered and happy member of your family and an animal that is easily accepted in the wider community.
We will endeavour to instruct you on how to have your dog:
You and your dog may begin training at any time between the first Sunday in February and the last Sunday in November as we close during the months of December and January.
A NEW MEMBER’S CLASS IS CONDUCTED EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY and you must attend this session before you can commence training.
How fast your dog learns will depend entirely on how much effort you put into training your dog. Your Instructor will appraise your dog’s progress each month and if you and your dog have completed all the required graduation exercises, you will “go up a grade”. This is termed “Graduation”.
You may train any dog of any age. It is never too late to start training a dog, although the younger a dog is, the easier it is to train. Cross-bred dogs are just as welcome as thoroughbred dogs but we do have a club rule that children under the age of twelve will not be allowed to train or handle a dog whilst on the clubs premises
Dogs earn titles and certificates after successfully qualifying three times at each level, and these achievements are added to their registered name.
Rally is held in a ring where handlers follow a numbered sequence of signs, performing the exercises shown at each station.
Agility is a fun, active sport for dogs and their handlers, where dogs navigate an obstacle course including hoops, tunnels, weave poles, A-frames, dog walks, see-saws, and jumps.
This is a positive, challenging activity that allows dogs the opportunity to use their strongest natural sense in a way that is fun, engaging and builds and strengthens a foundation of trust between the handler and dog.
A discipline where a dog performs a set number of tricks in cooperation with it’s handler, demonstrating communication and connection between them.
