We provide a 8-Week Beginner Program on Sunday mornings. This program starts on the first Sunday of each month except December and January.
The program is for owners of older puppies and dogs, who have had a complete and up-to-date vaccination course and who need basic training skills and controlled socialisation.
The program is the gateway into the Club for most people and their dogs.
You can read about our approach to socialisation by scrolling down to the seventh section of our website’s ABOUT page.
Please note, we do not offer puppy classes for very young puppies as this requires a specialised puppy program and set-up. Ask your vet about very young puppy’s needs in regard to training to adapt to life in a human family with lots of new, potentially scary stimuli like loud voices, vacuum cleaners and mowers.
Warragul Dog Club also offers a number of higher level Obedience and skill development classes that run on Sunday mornings following the Beginners Program.
Members with more experienced dogs – who have reliable recall – may also be interested in asking about skill extension classes.
Some of our longstanding experienced members have also been known to provide guidance about other disciplines like Rally O, Conformation, Scent Work, Agility, Tracking and Endurance. If you are very interested, it could be worth asking around.
