gyoza Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 hey, first post. I'm a new puppy owner and i'm very keen to find a clicker training and primarily positive reenforcement trainer in western sydney around penrith/lower blue mountains. I've done some googling and read through the DOL listings but didn't find the specifics i was after and thought you guys could save me a few hours on the phone, plus share your experiences. We're very keen to do puppy school in about a months time after his 2nd round of shots. he's a pug named jose, btw... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaCharlie Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Do you mean a one on one trainer or just obedience classes? I do obedience at Springwood, many of us use clickers and the classes are very positive/reward based. There are also clubs at erskine park, penrith paceway, and somewhere in werrington but I dont know much about those sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaCharlie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Springwood District Dog Training Club 02 47542910 Website Email The obedience is on Thursday nights from 7.30- 8.30 (sometimes up to about 9). New beginners start the first thursday of the month. Dont bring your dog the first night, it is an information night for handlers. Then there are 7 weeks of beginners with your dog. After that you move into the regular obedience classes which is a week by week thing. I think it costs about $60 or $70 for the 8 week beginner course which includes your years registration. After that is done you pay $3 a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
