Club History
The Pine Rivers Dog Obedience club was formed in 1992 by a dedicated band of local dog owners who were also members of the Murrumba Dog Obedience Club based at Caboolture (now Caboolture Sports Dog Obedience Club). The Pine Rivers Shire Council approved a licence to hold dog training classes at Rob Akers Reserve at Strathpine in March 1992. The club celebrated it's 30th Anniversary in 2022.
The club and its volunteer instructors and workers provide training classes for puppies and adult dogs to assist the owners to train their dogs to be happy, well-mannered companions.
As an affiliate of Dogs Queensland, the club also hosts Obedience, Rally, Scent Work and Trick Dog trials as well as several Flyball Race meetings each year, with competitors coming from around south east Queensland.
Other dog sports in which some of our members either instruct, compete and/or judge include dances with dogs, tracking, retrieving and agility.
In May 2014, the club changed its name from the Pine Rivers Dog Obedience Club to the Pine Rivers Dog Training Club. The change reflected that the club had become more diverse in it's activities than just offering obedience training.
