Training/obedience/agility Club Adelaide

I think the Intermediate class at SAODC would suit you very well.

Getting into it... what Ness said.

But once you're there, it's easy to move around the other clubs if you prefer. Having done Obedience and Agility in Sydney should count for something. If you want to join SAODC (come and see if you like it first), you need to bring your proof of vaccination certificate. Ideally a C5 or equivalent. President of club is a vet and not keen on anything less.

While you're at it, if you join and pass grade 3 (or grade 5) obedience, you can get something called a "canine good citizen certificate" which gets you a significant discount on dog rego (along with microchipping and desexing - much cheaper dog rego).

Thanks for the replies!

I live in Camden Park, but we used to travel about 30-45 mins to our old dog training club back in Sydney and will happily travel again for the right place.

I liked my old one because they seemed to have a "if it works, then do it" policy and helped people learn how to use tools properly.

I start my new job next Monday, so a club that trains outside of normal work hours and/or on the weekend would be ideal.

When I was first looking for a training club back in Sydney, I was told that because I owned a doberman, it wasn't safe for him to be off-lead under any circumstances, and never would be no matter how much training he had. I'm not interested in those sorts of places.

Going to check out the places you guys have linked now

There is also the Adelaide Sportdog Club probably more appropriate for a Doberman perhaps. They predominently train with only GSD's, Doberman, Rottweilers and Belgian Malinois training under a highly experienced working dog trainer.
