Welcome to Sydney All Breeds
NEWSFLASH: Sunday 4 December 2011 will be our last training day of the year. Due to the renovation work being done at the grounds, the Break-up Day party has been cancelled.
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!
We look forward to seeing you all back in the new year.
Classes start back on 29 January 2012.
Remember to keep up with your training over the next few months, even 5 minutes, once a day works wonders and your dog will enjoy the attention (and treats).
You could practice:
- clicker training,
- stable stays,
- focused attention
- standing on a bucket or book
- whatever else that you can do inside where it is cool!
See the training pages for clicker training videos and simple instructions.
__________________________________________
Sydney All Breeds Dog Training Club (SABDTC) is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit club that has been helping people train their dogs since 1956.
We promote training programs that will develop obedient and happy dogs which will be a source of pleasure and pride to their families and good canine citizens in their community.
Sunday morning training
Obedience training classes
We offer instruction in basic dog obedience training, as well as class opportunities for you to practice and socialise your dog. Our Instructors will help you teach your dog the behaviours you want, including to come when called and to walk on a loose lead.
Our classes are designed so that you learn one or two new exercises each class period. Then it is up to you to work with your dog a minimum of four times during the week. The more often you work with your dog, the faster your dog learns.
See more information about classes.
Competition obedience
We also encourage those who are interested to try competition obedience - a precision sport where handlers and their dog perform a standard series of exercises. There are many levels in obedience trials, beginning with Community Companion Dog (CCD) up to the challenging Utility Dog (UD) classes.
We are affiliated with Dogs NSW and run two official Obedience Trials each year. These are a great place for Club members to start out (home ground advantage!) or just to come along and watch.
Our training methods
At SABDTC, we use a range of positive training techniques. We encourage the use of food treats or toys to help get your dog motivated and paying attention to you. Eventually the food rewards will be faded out, but they are very useful in the beginning.
A small selection of dog treats such as Schmackos are available for purchase from the Club. See more about high-value treats.
Because dogs and handlers are all different, we offer flexible training options to suit all sorts. The time it takes to reach individual training goals can vary from dog to dog (and how much home-work you do!)
