Trainers volunteer their time to help you train your dog to become a well mannered family member. Our trainers have many decades experience training and competing with their dogs in a wide variety of dog sports. Many of them are registered judges with Dogs Qld. They keep up to date with the latest methods in dog training by completing training courses and attending workshops and seminars with visiting local, national and international trainers.

We promote reward-based training (positive reinforcement) because in most cases it works and it causes no harm to the dog.
However, positive reinforcement although excellent, is not used in isolation. It must be coupled with consistent actions, always encouraging good behaviour but actively ensuring we don’t reward unacceptable behaviour. Boundaries must be set and right or wrong clearly indicated to the dog. Our aim is for your dog to be calmer and more settled and your relationship with your dog to be stronger and deeper.

Pine Rivers Dog Training Club Inc. is located at Strathpine, north of Brisbane and conducts classes on Monday night. We provide basic dog obedience training for dogs older than 18 weeks. They may be adolescents or older dogs who have missed out on earlier training.
On Friday night, our puppy school teaches basic obedience, life skills and manners for puppies from 12 to 18 weeks of age. To attend puppy training, puppies must have had their second vaccination. We use reward based, positive reinforcement training methods which are suitable for dogs of all ages and ensure your family dog or puppy enjoy every minute of training. No harsh training methods are used. Classes at each level are designed to build upon the skills learnt in the previous class whilst adding new and interesting exercises to keep both dog and handler motivated. The Club also provides training for many fun, dog sports. Flyball, canine freestyle (or dances with dogs), rally obedience, obedience trialling and nosework.
