JOONDALUP DOG TRAINING CLUB INC

JOONDALUP DOG TRAINING CLUB INC. is a volunteer-driven dog training organization based in Ocean Reef, Western Australia, founded in 1997. The club focuses on teaching handlers how to train their dogs using positive reinforcement, with an emphasis on socialization, confidence-building and obedience for dogs of all ages and breeds. They run structured class programs that include a Junior Puppy Class for puppies after their second vaccination up to about 20 weeks, a Beginners Class for dogs 21 weeks and older to cover foundational obedience and social skills, Intermediate classes that build on basic skills to improve loose-lead walking and address common behavioral challenges, and Advanced classes that include agility and more advanced activities for dogs who have completed prior levels. The club maintains a regular training calendar so owners can follow a staged progression, and it fosters community through volunteer programs and social events such as fun days. The overall approach is friendly and handler-focused — the goal is to improve community safety and create confident, well-socialized dogs by training handlers to train their pets, rather than relying on punishment-based methods.
