Obedience

All are welcome, no need to be a Club member or have a purebred dog.  

Disclaimer:  The Belleville Club does not recommend one site over another but here are two sites that encourage you to have fun with your dog and strengthen the bond between owner and dog.

Both sites have international followings for their training.  

1.  Absolutedogs.me/start  (based in the UK) Tom Mitchell and Lauren Langman


2.https://dogsthat.com  (based in Canada) Susan Garrett

Both these sites offer game based, positive training for all levels/types of dogs and owners.  Ideal for people who have recently become new owners and may or may not have struggles.

They are not working on formal obedience training.

There are YouTube and blogs that follow these too.  Many of the episodes are free but others can be subscribed to at a reasonable cost.  You could almost get overwhelmed by the content at times but all are fun and happiness based.

Thank you,
Adrienne

Belleville & District Kennel Club offers Foundation, Pre-Novice, Novice, Open and Utility classes.

These classes are for all dogs and are focused on getting the dogs and handlers to competition levels, but trialing a dog is not required.

The Foundation and Pre-Novice gives the dogs a 'learning' background and the owners the skills to train their dogs.

The Novice class is for dogs that have not achieved a CKC Companion Dog (CD) title.  

The Open Class is for dogs that are working on their Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title.  Utility is for those striving for their Utility Dog (UD) title. 

These classes are for all dogs over 7 months.

Location: Loyalist Veterinary Hospital Training Hall in Belleville @ 360 Bell Blvd.
