Ohhh I think we would need food. Beagle are food lovers !

Will do so leopup Southern Obedience School looks pretty good to. Fully fenced !

Ohhh Ok I contacted Knox and they told me correction collars are recommended but if you feel strongly against them then you don't have to.

Freckles Stay Stay ...the more the merrier !

Yeah they are quite the little mischevious type...up for the challenge. PLUS who could not forgive those pleading eyes once in a while !! LOL I'll have a look around, but I am definatly enrolling him in the puppy preschool at RSPCA. Which is 100% indoors. !!!

Hi Haven thanks I tried that. I look through about half of them then gave up

Freckles your beagles are so smart...and TRUSTWORTHY.....do share your secrets about keeping there nose off the ground. Instructions etc. I am all eyes !

Obedience Training a scent hound may prove alot more difficult.. But everyone loves a challenge !

cOOL Will do so Leopuppy

Hummm...Well if a beagle fan said it works...than i guess it works lol Open to opinion though !

I live close to RSPCA East Burwood

I got this from the website "Alternative training methods are currently being taught in the Puppy Preschool and Baby Puppy Class and may be adopted for individual cases in higher classes if deemed appropriate." Could this mean no correction collar ?

Thanks I am trying to find a club close to me that offers the more positive reinforcement but have yet to find one. So does the dog feel any pain from these collars ?

Hi All I am thinking of enrolling my pup at the Knox Obedience Club : http://www.knoxodc.org.au/ The club has a well structured program with testing by a V.C.A obedience judge before moving up classes in the higher levels. One of the requirements is a correction collar. Would the collar be classified as cruelty ? I don't want to hurt or really punish my dog for doing something wrong. Just want to make it a enjoyable thing !

Thanks I'll go look for the thread for ADT.. If anyone can find it before me that would be greatly appreciated if you post it !

Ohhh Frankston is about 35 mins from my house...a little bit far.

Yeah so classes run fortnightly ? or every week

Cool Seems Fun What if I can come to enrollment day since I don't get my pup till late Feb

So what day does the Croydon training run ? What time ? Also if I enroll my pup in puppy preschool how long approximatly before it reaches advance ? How many to a class ? Hope you can answer my questions !

Seems good the Croydon Place.... What about Australian Dog Training ?

Thanks I'll go check it out Have you had experience with this place ?

Hi Anyone know a good puppy preschool to advance obedience that is in Melbourne Metro ?

Thanks....I'll try outside first and if it doesn't work than inside. I think it would be better ouside. He would be under a verandah in a kennel I think that is fine.

Hi Thanks I will take all that info in and see how we do. Hopefully he won't whine at night. Or in the morning the whole family will be whining

Hi of course he will be let into the house sometimes but when I am at work and at night he would be sleeping outside. We will love him to bits. He is going to be my walking buddy Thanks for the info
