asianpeach Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 hi, i am looking for a obedience class in the fairfield area. Does anyone have any good recommendation? and does anyone know how much it cost to attend? My dog is a 2yr Labrador and i need to give him some training. He knows how to sit, stay, go home in my language only. he knows how to lay down but only when i say and also point my fingers to the ground then he understands and do it. he is a very smart dog, i only have to teach him once or twice and he catches on real quick. The only problem i have is he pulls on the lead and doesnt heel. He is also always jumping on me, standing up, he is a very big dog and i am only small person, its hard for me to support his weight like this ,i dont know how to teach him so i need to take him to class, and also he need to learn to behave since we will be living in a apartment soon. Do they have alot of dogs attend to one class? my dog is lack in concentration and focus ( no wonder why he failed the test at breeder's to become a sniffer dog!)

dogdude Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Fairfield in Melbourne, or Sydney? Closest VCA club in Melbourne would be Northcote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabby Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi! Everything you described your Labrador to be sounds like the typical behaviour of a Lab! They're so puppy-like until well into adulthood! You'll have lots of fun! If you live in fairfield, sydney, the closest dog obedience class for you would be werriwa dog obedience in liverpool. i'll PM you the number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 hi sabby - are they any good? im looking for a obedience class for my husky. Almost the same situation as asianpeach. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabby Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 hi Skuzy! It depends on what you are after. When i went to werriwa a few years back i found the dog training to be more geared towards trialing dogs. Everyone knew each other and it was a very small group. Macarthur dog training has alot more people, and bigger classes. Alot more families attend for a fun thing to do with their dog or because they are having problems. There is a small group that do trial in obedience and agility. i do enjoy macarthur but haven't gone in a while as their classes are on a monday night, and it's too freezing! i'll wait till it gets warmer!
