Hibiscus Coast Dog Training Club has been established since 1987.
We provide a range of training classes to Hibiscus Coast, wider Rodney and North Shore residents.
Our aim is to help you train your dog to become a well mannered member of your family.
Our clubrooms and training grounds are on the Western Reserve in Orewa between the Bowling Club and the Youth Centre and our grounds are lit for night time training.
Level 1: Starters & Puppy Classes The Obedience 1 Class is for dogs over 6 months and Puppy Classes are for dogs between the ages of 4 and 7 months.
Our volunteer instructors teach you how to train your dog. The classes include loose lead walking, stays, coming when called, and very importantly socialisation with other dogs.
All of these areas are covered in the first 7 week course.
Level 2: Obedience 2 & Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Basics After the first course is completed, you graduate to the next level of domestic/puppy obedience.
This phase of training is to reinforce all that you have learnt and to extend each exercise further.
To have a dog that is well behaved and well socialised we recommend that you complete Level 2.
Level 3: Upwards Further Obedience Training and CGC Training and/or Agility, Rally-O and Scent Work.
Obedience training at a higher level is taught in conjunction with content designed around continuing to train your dog to be a well-mannered household pet.
It progresses at a pace to suit the capabilities of handler and dog. Handlers wishing to compete are encouraged and receive more specialised training.
Agility Training requires a level of obedience as most of the training is done off lead. Agility is something that most dogs love to do.
The 9 week beginner course is designed to teach basic agility handling skills and introduce the dog to a variety of agility equipment.
From there you move onto the intermediate level where the emphasis is on improving control and speed.
Rally-O Obedience is a mix between Agility and Obedience and there are three levels - Novice, Intermediate & Advanced.
Scent Work is fun, doing what your dogs know best...sniffing! They learn to find 4 different odors, starting with Imprinting up to earning titles at Scent Trials.
We meet Saturday mornings fortnightly at the clubrooms.
