Taupo Dog Training Club

Have Fun With Your Dog...
TAUPO DOG TRAINING CLUB is an associated All Breeds Society of the New Zealand Kennel Club, and approved to conduct Championship Shows in Obedience and Agility. You don’t have to be competitive, just to have a love of dogs and be prepared to put in the time for practice.

The Objects Of The Club Are:
To help local owners train their dogs in basic obedience.
To promote the sport of dog training by conducting classes at different levels within the different codes, i.e. Obedience, Rally-O, Agility and Working Trials.

Basic Obedience Class. Any dog? YES. – All breeds are welcome from 5 months of age. (Puppy classes are held for puppies aged 12 weeks to 5 months subject to availability of instructors.) Handlers who graduate from Basics are then eligible to further their training in Competition Obedience, Canine Good Citizen, Rally-O and Working Trials, and once dogs reach 12 months of age can begin Foundation Agility.

What Will The Dog Be Taught?
. Acceptable behavior with other dogs and people.
. To walk at heel on lead.
. To come when called.
. To stay in a sit or down position on command.

Who Trains The Dog?
You do, within class and at least five times a week between classes. You need only to train for a few minutes each time but it must be regular. If you are not prepared to do this then you won’t get the results.
