Cart Obedience Obedience Classes

Cloverdale Canine Companions, a renowned Dog Sports club in Perth, is thrilled to announce their upcoming event – Cart Obedience. This exciting event offers obedience classes for dog owners in the local area, providing a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend.

Cart Obedience takes place on Monday nights, except during school holidays, public holidays, and the Royal Show week in September. The dedicated instructors, who are experienced volunteers, aim to empower dog owners to become their dog's trainer. It's important to note that while instructors are highly knowledgeable, they are not qualified animal behaviorists.

For the safety and well-being of all participants, dogs that are injured, ill, or in heat are not allowed to join the training sessions. Likewise, if you're feeling unwell, it's advised to stay home and rest.

To join this exceptional dog sports club, simply visit Cart Obedience's website and head to their Membership page. The cost for weekly training fees is just $2, which should be paid at the desk upon arrival. Members have the convenience of parking behind the bollards surrounding the oval. However, please note that only instructors and committee members are permitted to park on the grounds on Monday nights.

At Cart Obedience, the welfare of both dogs and handlers is paramount. Therefore, in the event of extreme weather conditions, training will be cancelled. If the local temperature in Belmont reaches 35 degrees or above, or if there is heavy rain or severe weather, rest assured that cancellations will be announced on the Cart Obedience Facebook Page.

Cart Obedience offers an array of classes designed to cater to different skill levels, ensuring there's something for everyone. Here's a glimpse into what they have to offer:

- Foundation/Puppy Class: Perfect for dogs under 1 year old or those with no previous training experience. This class focuses on basic obedience, confidence building, and fostering a strong relationship with your canine companion.

- Rally-O Novice: An exciting class that combines various obedience behaviours into a thrilling course of skills. It's suitable for teams with a solid obedience foundation, and practice courses are geared towards Novice and Advanced levels.

- Hoopers/Obedience: Get ready for some fun with this sport that involves navigating your dog through an obstacle course of hoops and barrel turns. The class also includes basic obedience training. Teams are required to possess a strong obedience foundation and be able to work off-lead with a dependable recall.

- Pre-Trial Obedience: Designed for members who wish to partake in formal obedience competitions. This class builds upon basic obedience skills and focuses on essential aspects such as heel work, sit and drop stays, stand for exam, and much more.

- Rally-O Seniors: Specifically tailored for members competing in Rally-Excellent and above levels. Each week, a challenging senior course is set up for practice. While not explicitly instructed, the senior members support and coach each other while navigating the course.

Participants are kindly asked to bring a collar and leash for their dog, along with delectable treats such as chicken, diced meat, sausage, or polony (avoid hard kibble/biscuits). A treat pouch or 'bum' bag is essential for easy treat access, and a couple of their beloved toys (except squeaky toys) are encouraged to keep them motivated. Additionally, it's crucial to have a bowl and water for your dog's hydration needs, as well as a dog crate for when they are not working.

Handlers must dress appropriately for the training sessions, wearing closed footwear and suitable clothing for the occasion. The location of Cart Obedience is at PO Box 402, Cloverdale WA 6985, and their ABN is 46224744386.
