Responsible Pet Ownership

Bendigo Obedience Dog Club Inc. is a not for profit organisation run by volunteers. The aim of the club is to promote "Responsible Pet Ownership" so you and your dog can lead a happy life together. We want you to be able to take your dog with you and know you and those you meet will enjoy the experience. Our instructors are all dog owner with many years of experience training dogs. They also attend workshops to expand their knowledge. All our methods are "positive" based. We also run classes from time to time teaching tracking, track & search, agility, tricks, scent work and rally as well as basic obedience. If you want to go further and enter obedience trials we will help you with that also. We work in school term blocks and have an intake at the start of each term. Bookings are essential so keep an eye on our face book page for information or our web page under the sub-heading training.

About Us

Training techniques have vastly changed since the club first started. Today we offer a fantastic, positive based training program, teaching handlers to understand their dog and how to obtain great results and a deeper relationship with their canine companion.

The club is always looking to learn and explore new techniques and methods to enhance the knowledge that we already understand.  We have a strong ethic of making training fun for the dog and handler.

We have wonderful support from our volunteers, experienced and knowledgeable instructors with a strong club spirit among the members.

The instructors do not receive any monetary benefit. They donate their time to instructing, attending meetings, keeping the club functioning on training days, running trials and assisting with club fundraising activities. They do this because they love their dogs and want to share the benefit of their experience to improve the relationship between other dogs and their handlers.

Our club is successful through the efforts of our volunteers.  Without these people donating their time (even an hour or two) our club would not be able to conduct trials, courses and workshops.  We are very grateful to all volunteers and value their contribution, no matter how small.  If you would like to help, your assistance will be appreciated. 

Money received from membership fees is put back into the club for the upkeep of the facilities, running club trials, courses, workshops, fun days and purchasing training equipment. A portion of membership fees goes directly to Dogs Victoria for insurance and other fees for conducting trials, events and insurance coverage.

The club extends a big thank you to the generous support of our sponsors. Our sponsors provide a variety of services and support for which we are very grateful.
