View class locations, start dates and book your course

Our trainers will help you work on:

  • Loose lead walking and better lead manners.
  • Coming when called around distractions.
  • Staying calm and focused around other dogs and people.
  • Sit, stay and practical everyday manners.
  • Clear communication and rewarding the behaviours you want.

If your dog is fearful, reactive or aggressive around other dogs, speak with us about in-home behaviour training so we can help you choose the right starting point.

Ready for better everyday manners?

Personal support in every class

At least one trainer for every three dogs

Dogs learn best with consistency, structure and encouragement. Our group obedience classes have at least one trainer for every three dogs, so you and your dog can get practical support throughout the class.

For 1 to 3 dogs, we have at least one trainer. For 4 to 6 dogs, we have at least two; for 7 to 9 dogs, at least three.

Please register in advance. Your booking helps us organise the right number of trainers for every class.

Good manners at every age

For dogs from five months old, with no upper age limit

Build practical manners, strengthen your communication and give your dog opportunities to practise around everyday distractions. Group obedience also helps you continue your dog’s socialisation as they grow.

If your dog has specific behavioural concerns, such as excessive barking or separation anxiety, we recommend an in-home dog training session before moving into group classes.

For behaviour that happens while you are away, our independent Furbo pet camera information explains how footage can support observation and an individual assessment. Monitoring does not replace training, veterinary care or in-person support.

Choose from classes in Ashgrove, Caboolture, Kedron, Morningside and Samford. North Lakes classes are temporarily unavailable; please see the venue update below. Check the timetable for current start dates and availability.

We can also recommend obedience trainers in the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba areas.

Obedience for Life Membership

When you enrol your dog in one of our group obedience courses, this includes Obedience for Life membership.

After the initial three-week course, your dog is welcome to return to unlimited additional classes at no additional cost – for the life of the dog at any of our training locations.

That means your dog can keep coming back:

  • Until they are performing at the level that you want
  • When they reach adolescence or go through a naughty phase
  • Any time for refresher training or to troubleshoot any obedience issues that arise

Why do we offer this?

Obedience isn’t just about teaching sitting, dropping, or staying, although it may feel like it sometimes.

Obedience training is what helps you develop a harmonious and balanced relationship that allows you to do more with your dog every day.

North Lakes classes: temporarily unavailable

Due to construction works at our North Lakes venue, our Group Obedience classes are temporarily unavailable at that location.

We currently expect classes to resume in January or February 2027, subject to completion of the venue works. The return date is still to be confirmed. We’ll update the timetable and booking availability once dates are finalised.

In the meantime, we’d love to welcome you at one of our other North Brisbane Group Obedience locations:

  • Caboolture
  • Kedron
  • Samford

Lifetime Members are welcome to attend classes at any of our venues during this time, and can simply return to North Lakes once classes resume. Just book in directly with the Trainer (see below), and we’ll look forward to seeing you in class! 

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support while these works are underway.

Returning with lifetime membership

Keep practising, with no further class fees

Once you have completed your initial Group Obedience course and received your Lifetime Membership Card, you can return to any of our venues with no further class fees. Come as often as you like, including multiple times a week, for the life of your dog.

  1. Choose your class. Find the day, time and venue in the timetable above.
  2. Contact the trainer at least 48 hours before class. Click BOOK NOW to find the trainer’s phone number. Send an SMS with your chosen day and location, plus a photo of your membership card, so the trainer can identify you and confirm your place.
  3. Bring your membership card. Show it to the trainer when you arrive.

Confirmation from the trainer is essential. We allocate training resources 48 hours before each class, based on confirmed attendance. If your attendance has not been confirmed, you may be turned away.

Please follow our Class Terms & Conditions and wear closed-in shoes.

Dog Obedience Training FAQs

Obedience classes will help with general obedience issues.

Issues such as:

  • barking,

  • jumping up,

  • destructive behaviour,

  • separation anxiety, and

  • aggression

are behaviour issues rather than obedience issues – and an in-home consultation would be far more beneficial in resolving the issues.

With our experience, techniques and guidance - and with a little work, time and patience on your part - we know your dog will respond.

Our training program provides you with guidance to continue developing your dog’s newfound manners.

​

We offer lifetime membership to our obedience classes, meaning you can return to as many classes a week at any location for the life of your dog, so you and your best friend always have support if further guidance is needed.

No, not at all! 

We work with dogs of all ages and have effective results regardless of the age.

We prefer more modern, gentle techniques, which are more effective and beneficial to your relationship with the dog.

We suggest you bring a standard collar and leash to our obedience classes.

We do not allow check chains to be used in any of our classes.

We believe in any form of positive reward that helps to motivate your dog.

This includes praise, toys, clicker or treats, depending on the situation and the dog.

Yes - however venue locations are subject to change, especially during inclement weather.

If a venue location or class update occurs you will be notified ahead of time, and have the option to re-book at one of our other locations.

Lifetime Membership applies only to the dog who completed the initial Obedience class, and lasts for the life of that dog.

If you have more than one dog, or add another dog to your family, each dog will need to complete a group obedience class to obtain their own Lifetime Membership.
