NORWEST DOG TRAINING CLUB INC
PO Box 717, Kumeu, 0841
Welcome to NorWest Dog Training Club. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing to train your dog with us. Our training methods are designed to be a completely positive experience for both handler and dog. The club uses up to date, reward based, force free training methods.
Obedience classes are designed to cater for the companion pet dog, but if handlers are interested in competing with their dogs, we do offer competitive classes and Rally-Obedience. Agility and Flygility classes are at both a fun and a competitive level.
If you wish to proceed with the initial eight week course, please print and return the enrolment form , together with your cheque for the course and membership fee. We are able to accept payment via internet banking. For deposit details please contact by e-mail : info@norwestdogtraining.co.nz
Class numbers are limited, so please ensure that your form and payment is received ASAP. Admittance to a course is on a first come, first served basis. Our enrolments person will contact you before the first class to confirm your place.
For new enrolments, the first night of the course is an introduction to training by your instructors and an informative talk and discussion time with the local vet. This is an excellent opportunity to ask all sorts of questions.
Also you will need to bring proof of vaccination and registration. NO DOGS ON THE FIRST NIGHT for new enrolments please.
Whilst every care is taken to ensure the safety of both you and your dog, it has to be recognised that this is a sport in which injury may occur. The club will not accept any responsibility for these occurrences unless it is proven that the club was negligent.
Membership is subject to approval by the committee
