BASIC OBEDIENCE CLASSES (DOGS AGED FIVE MONTHS AND OLDER)
Tomorrow around Midday we will be releasing places for a 9.30 AM SUNDAY MORNING Basic Obedience class, commencing on Sunday 1st June 2025 via our website croydondogclub.com.au.
Enrolment instructions will be included in an announcement on both Facebook and our website. Places will go very quickly so please remain respectful if you miss out.
IS YOUR DOG SUITABLE?
We are receiving an increasing number of enquiries in respect of aggressive and reactive dogs. Please note our volunteers are not behavioural trainers and cannot assist with these issues - our classes focus on general manners / obedience skills only. If you are experiencing a serious behavioural problem, please reach out to a professional positive reinforcement trainer instead of enrolling in our classes. Placing a fearful dog in an overwhelming environment can be very stressful for them and others.
ELIGIBILITY & ENROLMENT
- To be eligible to enrol in this class, your dog must have been born on or before 1/01/25 and you must be available to attend class at 9.30 am on Sunday mornings starting on Sunday 1st June. If you purchase a membership but do not meet these requirements / do not attend the class for which you have enrolled, your membership will be cancelled.
- This class includes a compulsory, in-person, dog-free lesson at 9.30 am on Sunday 1st June . If you cannot attend this introductory session, your membership will be cancelled.
- After the introductory lesson, this class will run continuously at 9.30 am on Sunday mornings, starting on Sunday 1 June.
We look forward to welcoming our new members soon!
LOOKING FOR OTHER CLASSES?
If you have a dog younger than five months of age, please read our previous Facebook posts / the homepage of our website for more information.
