The Werribee Obedience Dog Club
Inc. is a community-based non-profit voluntary organisation whose aim is to
promote and educate dog owners regarding responsible dog ownership and basic
obedience training. The Club first started back in 1976. The Club
consists of a friendly, helpful group of people and new members are always
welcome.
The club
is affiliated with the Victorian Canine Association Inc, now known as Dogs
Victoria, and also affiliated with the Association of Dog Training Clubs of
Victoria Inc
Our Committee and Instructors are all
un-paid volunteers who give
their time freely towards providing this service to the local community.
Dogs of all breeds
and ages and sizes are trained at the Club and it does not matter whether you wish to train your dog to
competitive trialing standard or simply to teach the basics and have an obedient
family pet.
We have classes ranging from
Puppies to trial standard. We teach basic heeling, sit, drop, stays,
recall and socialisation.
We have staggered training times, starting with Puppies and Class 1 commencing
at 1.30pm, then 2.30pm & 3.30pm. Training is conducted in a class
structure. Class sessions go for approximately 50 minutes. You can
purchase leads and various collars from the club at reasonable prices.
As a precaution, our Club requires
it's members to have their dogs fully vaccinated prior
to joining and annually.
If you wish to join the Club
it is essential that you bring along your dog's current vaccination
card. We accept puppies 2 weeks after their final vaccination. Also the vaccination card
must be sighted annually with each renewal of membership.
Our Club doesn't
run Puppy Kinder/Pre-school for very young puppies hence most puppies are
approximately between 16-18 weeks old when they join our Club. We
recommend contacting your local vet and sign up for a Puppy Kinder course first,
before joining us.
