Dog Training Classes In Adelaide?

[khakilulu]

Hi, we've got a 2 years old golden retriver. Since he is our first dog we didn't have any dog training experience, we did not train him properly when he was a puppy.

Now he's getting very strong and very hard to control when we take him out for walks, I thought we should join some training classes so we can establish a more enjoyable relationship with him.

I'm wondering if there are some casual training course in Adelaide (the ones open on weekends or early evenings Mon-Fri) we can go to and how much?

What are you aiming to do - are you just after a well mannered pet or do you want to trial further down the track?

What area are you in?

Yes, I just want him to be well mannered. I'm thinking something like basic training.

I live in NE area, 15mins from CBD

Hi and welcome

I take my Saint pup to Golden Grove Canine Obedience. They have classes on Mondays, either in the morning (start at 10am) or the evening (start at 7pm). They cater for puppies, beginners, right up to advanced dogs and those who trial etc. The classes are small and I've found all the trainers so far to be lovely and helpful.

If you'd prefer some one-on-one help first, before you dive into a class with other dogs (if yours is easily distracted perhaps?) then I can't recommend Mark Singer highly enough. Check out his website.

We use Canine Interaction for our pup.... very social and very well structured training of dogs all ages.

Speak to Megan there, the classes are Thursday nights, but I think they do other ones too.
