To promote responsible dog ownership. Learn how to socialize your dog with other dogs and learn obedience.

We provide obedience training for Queanbeyan, Queanbeyan District and Canberra region. We are a not-for-profit organisation which is supported entirely by our volunteers. Our primary aim is to promote responsible dog ownership in and around the Queanbeyan District. This includes teaching handlers the basics of dog obedience training by using positive motivation methods. The club meets at the Hoover Road grounds in Queanbeyan on Sunday mornings during NSW school terms.

🐾 Where could your training take you next?
🧑‍🏫Meet Companion class, where you and your dog keep growing with new skills, new games and an even stronger bond. You don't need to compete to love it, and Assessment Day each term lets you celebrate your progress along the way.

🏆 Feel like you and your dog want more? Dog Trials are where you can chase excellence together. Keep your eye out for the announcement, train towards “race day”, and track your progress at every Assessment Day along the way.

🐕 One step at a time. Dog Trials are designed to be progressive, so you and your dog grow your skills as you earn titles, in Obedience (CCD, Novice, CDX, UD, UDX) or Rally (Novice, Advanced, Excellent, Masters).

📅 Our trial is held each July, which gives you plenty of time to prepare for 2027.

💬 Chat with your instructor! Tell them where you'd like your training to go next, and ask about trialling next year. They can help you map out your next steps.
