Club members are invited to join in club training days, and also to attend group practice.
Training days are held monthly in the Poultry Pavillion at Dandenong Showgrounds. Classes are run by the Training Co-ordinator, in small classes, so that individual help is available if needed. All dogs will commence in Foundation for assessment, and will progress through the Levels at the discretion of the Club's Training Sub-Committee.
Group practice sessions are held at KCC Park on Tuesday evenings. These informal sessions enable people to practice with their dogs, either individually or in groups, with experienced handlers on hand to help those requiring assistance.
We welcome new members, with dogs of all breeds and levels of training.
