Cosmolo Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Four Paws K9 Training would be the best in your area. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiechick Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I believe there is a club at Melton but I don't know anything about it. BB already mentioned Northern, I was a member there for a few years and had mostly positive experiences. Plus you also have Keilor Obedience Dog Club - they use positive methods and have a good reputation. Bacchus Marsh would probably not be a stretch for you either, but again I don't know much about how they train. Ditto for Werribee. So you have a lot of options. I would suggest going along to a few clubs and have a look before you decide, both private and public. Ask questions about training methods, equipment, etc. and pick one that sits right with how you want to train. Plus you will need to factor in training day that suits (usually Saturday or Sunday) and how much you are prepared to spend/can afford. There is a tendency to put down the public clubs because the instructors are volunteers, but I have trained at both and when I had issues years ago with my ACD I got way more helpful assistance from a couple of instructors at the public club than I did at the private. You will most likely get particular instructors that do a great job at both - as well as those that do, well, not so great a job, at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacchus Marsh trains on a Tuesday night for obedience and Thursday night for Agility... I just can't remember the starting times. Also as mentioned Werribee is very good too.

poodlemum Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 There's also an Obedience Club at Sunbury. They run (or used to) trials, so they must be a reasonably big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
