Welcome to the Eastern Suburbs Dog Training Club

Puppy Classes are suitable for dogs aged 12 weeks to under 6 months. The Club runs a 6 week program for puppies, followed by automatic progression to Week 4 of the Responsible Dog Ownership Course.

Adult Dog Classes are suitable for dogs aged 6 months or older. The Club offers a 6 week Responsible Dog Ownership (RDO) Course. Recorded attendance for each week of the course earns the owner and dog a Certificate of Attendance and progression to either our Foundation Class, where both can build upon the exercises covered in the RDO Course, or to Class 1 of the Club's Advanced Training Classes. The Club runs further Advanced Training (Classes 2 to 4), for which promotion tests must be passed for progression.

The Club runs Activity Training Classes, based on the Agility dog sport, to complement our Obedience Training. These classes teach handlers and dogs how to navigate an obstacle course, including bar jumps, tyre jumps, tunnel, weaves, broad jumps and table.

When you join the Club you become a Member, not your dog. The joining fee entitles you to membership of the Club, allowing you to train your dog at the Club, until the end of June*. Membership renewal forms for the following year are mailed in May.

* Members who join in May or June of the current year do not have to renew membership until June of the following year.
