Venue
Classes are held on Sunday mornings at the Marks Park All Breeds Canine Club Orange Road, Emmarentia, Johannesburg.
Superb facilities include a secure and spacious puppy pen, shaded and grassed training grounds, ample parking and a clubhouse (snacks and breakfasts available).
When you first register at the clubhouse office, the class time will be confirmed, either 8h30 or 9h30.
Fun and play is incorporated in all classes which are reward-based, using food, toys and other suitable treats for positive reinforcement of behaviour.
Activities
The club caters mainly for domestic dogs.
Short talks of about 15 minutes are held at least once a month on popular subjects (for example, jumping up, pulling at lead, grabbing food, lack of focus).
For more experienced handlers and those requiring advanced training (for example, for competitive shows), workshops are held from 11h00-12h00. Outside the clubhouse, videos are shown on a wide range of topics.
Activities are free of charge and all are welcome.
Training
This is reward-based, using food, toys and other suitable treats for positive reinforcement of behaviour. Fun and play are essential ingredients of all training. We offer a wide range of classes, all run by dedicated trainers with many years of experience in their fields.
Choker chains are not allowed.
Each lesson builds on what was learnt in the previous lesson. The importance of practice between lessons is emphasised.
It is great fun - come and join us!
