The Eastern Suburbs Dog Training Club runs obedience training for puppies and adult dogs and activity classes for adult dogs on Sunday mornings in Centennial Park, in the heart of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
Experienced instruction is given with the aim of providing you with a good companion dog. Attend classes regularly, follow our training tips, do 10 minutes a day "homework" and you will have a well trained and happy dog.
For those wishing to continue further, the Club assists with preparation for competing in dog obedience trials and runs activity classes, based on the popular Agility dog sport.
Note: The Club welcomes all dogs provided they are fully vaccinated. A current vaccination certificate must be provided when joining the Club and renewing membership.
