Welcome to Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club

Message from our President, Maggie Young.

Hi everyone, I would like to introduce myself to you as the New President of NSDTC for 2026/27.  My name is Maggie Young and I have been a member of Northern Suburbs since around 1998/9.

I was on the Agility Trial Committee for 10 years and have served on the Executive Committee for 15 years as Vice President Agility. I am a Life Member and also an Instructor for Agility.  My thanks to Vickie Dean who has served as President for many years and is taking a well deserved break, although Vickie is still on the Committee as Agility Vice President.

I have trialled for many years in Agility and recently Scent Work and Rally. I currently have 2 Papillons, Fly 12 and Claude nearly 8. I now mainly trial Claude in Scent Work and Rally and Fly has fun trialling in Scent Work. When I joined the club Obedience and the 3.00 pm classes were the only options. As time passed
Agility was started and over the years the club has grown to offer not just Agility and Obedience, but the Ku-ring-gai K9 Award, Rally, Retrieving, Tricks, Dancing with Dogs and Scent Work. Credit should also go to those dedicated members who have introduced those wonderful sports to this Club, and for the tireless efforts of all our instructors who give up their own time so willingly.

Maggie Young, NSDTC President

Welcome to our Club and hope you enjoy your time here whether you are interested in training your puppy or adolescent dog or whether you decide to take advantage of all the other aspects of dog training that we provide.

Our experienced team of dedicated volunteer dog trainers is 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 dogs and our classes are designed to build a bond between owner and dog using positive training methods.  We start with basic obedience training and members can progress to competition in a number of dog sports as well as work towards the attainment of the Ku-ring-gai Canine Award.

Come and join fellow dog owners for some fun, education and exercise with us here at NSDTC.
