 Obedience
In addition to the highly successful agility training,
we have been very busy training many dogs at their varying
levels of competency in obedience. This usually occurs
within one of our securely-fenced paddocks, with excellent
off-street parking.
Gentle but firm
We are working closely with Jan Koortse (pronounced
Yan), who has been 3-times National Agility Champion
in South Africa, is a sought-after trainer and judge
and was until recently the president of the largest
agility club in the South Island. He continues to compete
and win with his own dogs. Jan provides a wealth of
experience in his quietly gentle but firm manner, to
which the dogs respond enthusiastically.
Bookings essential!
The classes have been running at full capacity most
Saturday afternoons, and other days or evenings during
the week have also been busy. These classes have become
so successful and popular because of the excellent results,
that it has become essential to book in early!
 Classes are most often in groups of up to 6 dogs, although
many one-on-one sessions have also been held.
Classes usually begin at post-puppy school level. Level
1 includes competent and confident control of your dog,
with both on-lead and off-lead work; sitting, turning,
stopping and staying on-command. Even the most boisterous
of dogs have shown remarkable progress after just the
first lesson, and owners usually have (very relieved)
big smiles when they end a lesson! The sessions often
end up with a swim in the pool, as a treat for the dogs.
Level 2 classes become more demanding, providing much
better control of the dogs from a distance, and the
use of subtle voice and body-language commands.

that are available.
