About Us

Our Mission

We promote the socialisation and training of dogs from an early age, using positive reinforcement. We aim to extend and apply understanding of canine behaviour and encourage responsible dog ownership.

Instructors

All Kintala instructors are volunteers who receive intensive, government-accredited practical and theoretical training. Learn more.

Instructors are members of the Gentle Dog Trainers Association.

Training Approach

We promote positive reinforcement training: show the dog what you want it to do and reward with something it likes. We also encourage early socialisation and training for puppies.

Joining and Renewing

Dogs and handlers invited to join the Kintala Club are encouraged to sign up within one month of completing IDA. To join, come to the club room on a normal training morning (see calendar). Payment is by cash or cheque.
