SUMMER RECESS
22 November 2021
Most Training Classes officially finish on the last Saturday in November.
Some disciplines will continue with limited training over December and January, including Puppies for those who have enrolled.
For all other members, enjoy the break, but at least occasionally, continue to positively reinforce the skills you and your dog have already learned.
On Saturday Evening, 8th January 2022, commencing at 5pm, the Club will be holding a Rally Obedience Trial and Retrieving Ability Test for Gundogs Competition. Members are welcome to come along and watch or pre-register to help with the Trial Committee, but please leave non-competing dogs at home.
Classes recommence on Saturday 5th February 2022.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season and enjoy the time to relax.
Welcome to the Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club (NSDTC).
Welcome.
We are an affiliate of Dogs NSW and have been operating in Ku-ring-gai since 1967.
Our experienced team of dedicated volunteers are here to educate members on responsible dog ownership and help them train their dogs to be well-behaved, socialised companions, who are a pleasure for their owners and fit well into the community.
We cater for all breeds and cross-breeds. Vaccinated puppies can commence class from four months.
Our classes are designed to build a bond between owner and dog using positive training methods and start with basic obedience.
Members can progress to the attainment of the Ku-ring-gai Canine Award and competition in a number of dog sports.
Our qualified instructors provide classes in advanced obedience, agility, Rally, gundog training, dances with dogs and tricks.
Members may also participate in educational seminars on diverse topics related to dog behaviour or health, which are run several times a year.
Come and join fellow dog owners for some fun, education and exercise with us here at Northern Suburbs.
Happy training!
Barbara Rogleff, President
Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club
