If you have ever been interested in Frisbee and didn’t know where to start here is your chance. Frisbee is a great sport to play with your dog and can be played with a dog of any age, size and breed. There are so many great Frisbee games out there, and this is the perfect way to get the skills to play these games with your dog. If you have never played with a Frisbee with your dog, then intro is for you, if you currently play Frisbee with your dog, but never participated in any organized Frisbee sports then Back to the Basics is a great place to start! Please email Stephanie if you have any questions or would like to register, [email protected].

Thank you! 🙌🏼

Thank you all for being the most amazing students I could ask for. The first summer in our outdoor field has come to an end and it’s left me feeling so grateful for each and every one of you! I love watching you all grow and learn with your dogs, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

This summer had 101 registrations, countless laughs, one broken weave pole, MANY broken jumps & tunnel bags, 4 handler falls, times of happy tears and so many fun memories to keep us smiling for a long time. Thank you all for a summer to remember & thank you for trusting me with dogs! ♥️

Don’t worry. Indoor classes start soon! 🫢

It’s that time of year again! The St Catharine’s Kennel Club Dog Show will be at the Welland Fairgrounds throughout next weekend! Come out and support our students and trainers compete in rally obedience and competitive obedience. There are also tons of conformation shows happening all weekend too! 🙌🏼 We can’t wait to see you all there!

This week, we built the starter standard run from Ian Cranstone’s AAC trial last Saturday at Dogs on Campus! Here is Julie & Strike having the most perfect run! 😍

And sometimes, you just have the most perfect run! 😍 Way to go Stephanie & Monte! What a way to end a session of classes.

Sometimes, you just have the perfect run. This doesn’t always happen. Not every class can be great. If they were all great, you wouldn’t appreciate when they are. Well done on tonight’s course by the fantastic Julie Blundell-Murdoch and Strike. 🙌🏼🥳🐾

Saturdays are for pack walks. 🌤️Today, we visited Beatties Basics & Best Buy! We welcomed two new members of Intermediate: Atlas & Tyson! We love that you all came out and enjoyed some quality time with us and your dogs! #dogtraining #trainyourdog

Who’s your favorite dog in the video?

Our second ever Rally Obedience fun match was a hit! Congrats to all for coming out and thank you for an excellent evening of rally obedience! 🥳

Reviewing the rear cross for all of our agility students! Please enjoy! 🥰

As students and their dogs learn and progress they become part of the DOGS community. We have developed our training programs to allow clients to work with their dogs at their own pace and move to the next level when both are ready to do so. We have a team of passionate trainers to assist and work with you along the way. We offer Novice, Introduction to Intermediate, Intermediate and Advanced Obedience Classes. Our Intermediate & Advanced levels are a membership with up to three classes a week, including field trips in the nicer weather. With our large facility we are able to offer all levels of Rally Obedience & Agility during any season! You can also schedule private lessons, puppy consultations or behaviour modification sessions for any dog.
