About Sunbury District Obedience Dog Club
The Sunbury and District Obedience Dog Club is a community-based non-profit organisation whose aim is to promote and educate responsible dog ownership through reward based training.
Our Committee and Instructors are volunteers who give their time freely towards providing this service to the local Sunbury community. Dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes are welcome and we cater for people who may want to train their dog to be calm, obedient dogs who they can take out to a coffee shop, a park or the beach
Our instructors have years of experience training and competing in a variety of dog disciplines. These include Obedience, Rally, Agility, Tricks, Dances with Dogs, Tracking, Herding, Scent work and other dog sports. Some of these we do not formally train however we can direct you to clubs or individuals who can help you.
We have classes ranging from Beginners where we teach focus, loose leash walking, basic heeling, sit, drop, stays, recall and socialisation all the way through to trial standard as you progress through the classes.

Your first class will an introductory half hour class where we take you through some basic exercises which you can then go home and practice with your fur baby. Documentation is sent to you prior to this session for you to read and complete prior to attending. You bring your dog with you to this introductory class which we find is very beneficial for both you and your dog.
