Pet Dog Training

The Holdfast Dog Centre offers training that focuses on practical exercises relevant to your family companion.
 
Our 8 week courses held conveniently to coincide with the school terms. Five course levels are available, from Basic through to Canine Good Citizen (CGC). Classes are offered Monday evening and Saturday morning.

Class numbers are limited to a maximum of 10 dogs.

Dogs should be over 16 weeks and must have C5 vaccination to enrol.

Dogs are assessed at the end of each course for certification. Completion of Level 1 (Basic) provides a registration discount for the life of the dog with local councils.

      

BASIC
