Ideal Dogs of Australia™ Courses

Click here for our school on the Bellarine Peninsula

These courses have been developed to assist you to teach your dog to be a well behaved and acceptable member of the community. Handlers will learn many aspects of responsible dog ownership.

The following lessons will be taught during the course:

Coming when called
Walking on a lead in a controlled manner and doing sit, stand and drop
Greeting another dog appropriately
Learning meal time manners
Being handled without showing fear or aggression
Staying in one position for a short time
Being briefly separated from the handler and remaining calm
Responding to the handler when distractions are present e.g. cyclists
Moving through a "crowd" on lead
Waiting calmly before getting out of the car
Behaving well at the veterinarian

Courses are mainly run by The Kintala Club and handlers may go on with further training if they wish.

Dogs who pass an accredited course may be eligible for a reduced council registration fee.

6 Week Courses

These are open to handlers and dogs who have completed the Kintala Club's puppy course. They consist of an information evening, 4 group practical lessons and an optional assessment. There will be a maximum of 5 handlers to one instructor. Socialisation with other dogs is an important component of the course.
