Notice for new members:
Term 3 enrolment is now open for new members.
We take new members with the aim of handler and dog teams moving through the various levels of training, starting with one of the Puppy classes or Beginners.
Please note class times before applying:
Wednesday 9.15am – Baby puppies (8–16 weeks)
Wednesday 6.00pm – Older puppies (4–8 months)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If your dog is older than 8 months and you have not attended puppy classes with us, then you start in Beginners before progressing through to the next levels. Bendigo Obedience Dog Club is run by a volunteer committee with volunteer instructors.
Due to instructor availability, we will not be offering a Beginners class in Term 3. Therefore, if your dog is older than 8 months, unfortunately we cannot accept your application for Term 3. We anticipate that Beginners will be offered in Term 4 - please monitor this page and our Facebook page closer to Term 4 to apply.

ABOUT US
Bendigo Obedience Dog Club is a community based not for profit organisation established in 1963 and is fully run by volunteers wanting to educate Bendigo locals about responsible pet ownership through providing obedience training for puppies through to older dogs
.
Training techniques have vastly changed since the club first started. Today we offer a fantastic, positive based training program, teaching handlers to understand their dog and how to obtain great results and a deeper relationship with their canine companion.
The club is always looking to learn and explore new techniques and methods to enhance the knowledge that we already understand. We have a strong ethic of making training fun for the dog and handler.
We have wonderful support from our volunteers, experienced and knowledgeable instructors with a strong club spirit among the members.
Something to remember
The instructors do not receive any monetary benefit. They donate their time to instructing, attending meetings, keeping the club functioning on training days, running trials and assisting with club fundraising activities. They do this because they love their dogs and want to share the benefit of their experience to improve the relationship between other dogs and their handlers.
Our club is successful through the efforts of our volunteers. Without these people donating their time (even an hour or two) our club would not be able to conduct trials, courses and workshops. We are very grateful to all volunteers and value their contribution, no matter how small. If you would like to help, your assistance will be appreciated.
Money received from membership fees is put back into the club for the upkeep of the facilities, running club trials, courses, workshops, fun days and purchasing training equipment. The majority of membership fees goes directly to Dogs Victoria for insurance and other fees for conducting trials, events and insurance coverage.
The club extends a big thank you to the generous support of our sponsors. Our sponsors provide a variety of services and support for which we are very grateful.
