What we're about

Companion training is not about formal sits, stays and heels; rather its about dogs and their owners communicating and living together in harmony.

2008 class schedule

Thanks to Kaye Hargreaves from Wagging School for running the Club training classes in 2007. Kaye has now retired from training & will not be providing classes for the Club in 2008.

The Club has no current plans to provide training classes in 2008 however if you are willing & able to assist us with providing these then please send us e-mail here.

In the meantime, we refer you to the list of obedience clubs below.

Congratulations to our Good Husky Citizen recipients

Congratulations to the following dogs & handlers who have achieved the Good Husky Citizen or Good Husky (Puppy) Citizen over the last three years. This certificate is attained by achieving a pass grade in each of 11 tests conducted by the Club, which test for a handler's effective control of their companion dog in a variety of social situations.

Lastest report   as at July 2006

After leading our Companion Training program for the last ten years, Jennie and Ian are taking an extended break following the arrival of their first child this year. The weekly training classes in Donvale have concluded for 2006 and will be replaced by alternative arrangements as from next year.

Thanks for all the wonderful dogs & dedicated owners who have enriched our lives over the last several years. Those who have persevered with training have been rewarded by owning some delightful well-behaved canine companions. Here is a montage of photos from Companion Training, compiled over the last six years (2000-2006); just a few of the many dogs & handlers who have participated in our program.
