The Club, a non-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers is operating since 1962 in Musgrave Ave, Centennial Park.

We wish all our members a very Happy New Year. We are resuming our classes on the 30th January.

We train dog owners to train their dogs using positive reinforcement.

We accept all breeds of dogs for training with classes ranging from beginners from 12 weeks of age to Classes 1 to 4 where owners and dogs can continue to learn and improve their skills.

Dog training is a fun way to connect with your dog and there is no limit to what your canine friend and you can learn.

The club is affiliated with Dogs NSW and conducts an annual obedience trial.
