Welcome to the Leichhardt Dog Training Club. We are an incorporated,
non-profit organization that runs dog obedience training classes on most Sundays for people with puppies (from 16 weeks) and adult dogs. We use positive reinforcement and rewards-based training techniques as we have found this method of training leads to better understanding, trust and respect between owner and dog. Our grounds are located at the Hawthorne Canal Reserve in Leichhardt.
All of our Instructors are volunteers and avid dog enthusiasts.
After completing the two introduction sessions, you will progress into Class 1. Thereafter, progression through each level to Class 4 is by tests for promotion.
The Club trains in an off-leash dog park so there will be times when there are distractions, i.e. a dog, a ball or even a child runs through class. Use these distractions as a fun training exercise. It is important to be able to handle and manage your dog regardless of distractions.
