Western Suburbs Dog Training Club

If so, what is it like?

I used to go with Diesel, before I gave up my hopes of competing with him due to allergies.

Western Suburbs has two sections as far as I know - pet dog training on Saturdays and competition obedience/trialling class on Tuesday evenings. The pet class is run by Delta trained instructors, the Tuesday evening class by people who currently compete with their dogs in obedience, so the classes are very different in terms of structure, content, style and equipment used.

I went to the Tuesday class and really enjoyed it. They are a lovely bunch of people who are experienced competitors so happy to help with trialling issues but also flexible enough if you want to try something different (I was being a bit experimental when I went there as Diesel is the first dog I attempted to train for competition obedience. They were tolerant of me trying different stuff and doing things differently.) It is also quite social and there were cakes when dogs got their titles etc.
