Today at training was an extremely hot day.
We tried to keep everyone mostly in the shade by doing relays in teams.
It is always great fun and brings out everyone's competitive side
To make sure everyone stayed cool, we had dogs taking dips in the paddle pools scattered around the field.
Summer is going to be on 🔥

Such great feedback from Pitunia's human.
"I want to give some feedback about Pitunia (after just two lessons with you guys). Last weekend, we went on a hike at a park with many other dogs, people, and mountain bikes. Normally, I had so much trouble getting her under control, and eating at the pet-friendly restaurant afterwards was out of the question. I took a friend along with me who knows Pitunia as being a handful. She was so obedient - to the extent that we had a lovely lunch at the restaurant with no issues at all. She listened to all the commands I gave her without too much trouble. My friend even sent me a voicenote later that night saying how he is super impressed with the training so far as he has seen another side of Pitunia and even in my way of handling and speaking to her."
We can only educate and guide. The effort put in at home counts the most. Keep up the good work 🎊

A change from the norm.
Isla and Izzy retrieving an egg from a bowl of water.
Took a little convincing for Isla, while Izzy went straight in. Both girls doing an awesome job and ultimately holding the eggs in their mouths without cracking them.
Until Izzy dropped it on the concrete 🤣

Never did we think Ollie could look tall compared to another dog, but the last pic is him doing just that with his brother.

We did some hide and recall in the veld @ the Honeydew grounds. . Great way for the handlers to gain confidence, knowing that their dogs will come to them when recalled from a long distance away. . See Instagram for the rest of these videos.

Finley strutting his stuff on graduation day. Even when he makes a mistake, we show him what we want from him and move on... everyone makes mistakes. This team have come such a long way and it makes us super proud to be able to show them how well they are working.

Tank rolling in like a true tank - Honeydew pup 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Our Story

S.A. Dog Training College & Kennels (SADTC) is a dog training school that was established in 1984 by Chris and Christine Van Der Westhuizen, a couple dedicated to teaching others how to encourage the best from their dogs.

We noticed that there was a need for gentler training methods and a demand from dog owners for other courses besides obedience. In 1984, puppy socialising, agility, consultations and the like, were hardly known to South Africans!

SADTC brought these, and many more, courses into South Africa in a big way. Our dog school has led the way for humane methods of training, and have been pioneers for the many methods being used today.
