Hello all. Do anyone know of agility classes/clubs/training in sydney? I wouldnt mind traveling for a bit, but would prefer at North Shore/City Sydney area. Thank you all~

Pet Resort provided me with a 1&1/2 hrs training when i picked up my dog. i was offered to attend any of the classes that they held every week for free. i can also call in to arrange consultations for free. so, that's pretty good~

Contact Steve Austin (and his partner, Vicki). They are great!! and do NOT use any harsh method. My toy poodle was extremely nervous and timid by people and some dogs. After being trained by them for a few weeks (while i was on holiday), she has become very lady-like. Her problem with people has greatly improved. This was actually the 2nd encounter I had with Vicki. So call them up on (02)96511747, or visit their site. www.petresortsaustralia.com.au P.S. I had an extremely unfortunate experience with one of those so called "pet training professions" --- Bark Busters. The method they used was harsh and inhumane (he kept on using the check chain to choke my dog & to chuck these mental chains to freak him out). The problem was worsen after the visit. I was referred to Steve and Vicki soon after. But they said that my dog was trumatised and ruined by the previous "training" he had. So nothing could be done, but to put him to sleep.... From then on, i trust nobody else but Steve and Vicki. And so, I had my toy poodle which I got after the incident, to be trained by Steve and Vicki~ Please make a wise decision about which trainer you are going to choose. Dont wanna have the situation repeated again!

Hey all, I live in the Lower North Shore of Sydney. I'm just wondering has anyone been to training clubs / trainers (from the nearby area) for obedience training and advises for puppy problems (eg. jumping up)??? Preferrably not those where you have to leave your dog for a week for them to train. I would hate to not being able to see my dog everyday. Hopefully, someone can provide me with some personal recommendations! Thanks heaps
