 TRAINING WITH US IN 2022

New Membership Applications

Croydon Dog Club does not currently have any places available for dogs over 12 weeks of age.
 
We hope to be able to open up new places for dogs aged five months and older from August or September 2022. Please check back on our website and/or Facebook page regularly for updates regarding availability.
 
Due to unprecedented demand, we are unable to keep a waitlist for our classes and kindly ask you to refrain from contacting us about enrolling in adult, entry-level obedience classes.
 
We hope to train with you soon!

HOT OFF THE PRESS – AUGUST 2021 EDITION OF CAPERS NEWSLETTER

About Our Club
Croydon & District Obedience Dog Club Inc. is a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer-run organisation dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership while helping our members to enjoy life with their dogs.
In addition to teaching puppy and basic obedience classes, we train for, participate in and run a variety of canine sporting events as an affiliate of Dogs Victoria (Victorian Canine Association).

For the benefit of our members, our class numbers are limited to ensure handlers and dogs are given adequate levels of assistance.  Depending on the number of instructors we have available, this can mean there will be a long waiting period for class availability.

Please monitor this page and/or our Facebook for specific details of enrolment dates. Any free places will be filled quickly!

For further details about our training principles and enrolment, please visit our Training and Membership pages.

Silcock Reserve, William Road, Croydon, Victoria, Australia
