Obedience Classes:
Everyone wants their dog to be a good neighbor. Let us assist you to that goal. GKOC will offer an insight into dog behavior, give assistance to specific problems and help you on your way to having a well behaved and trained dog.
*PLEASE NOTE: We cap our classes due to size of our facility and for teaching purposes. Classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. There is no 'pre' sign up. Plan to arrive early on our registration evenings.
GKOC group classes are run to be enjoyed by the handler & dog teams in a safe environment. We cannot allow dogs that are extremely disruptive who pose a danger to other dogs or handlers. These classes are not recommended for dogs who could not learn in a multidog atmosphere. If you need private or specialized training, we are happy to refer you to those who can aid you.

Classes:
Basic: For dogs over 5 months of age who are looking to learn the necessities of good canine companionship; heel on leash, recall on leash, sit and down stay on leash and social interaction on leash that is appliqable to every day situations and home environment. A well trained and behaved canine companion is pleasure to have in your home and in public settings.
Basic Classes are 7-8pm on Wednesdays
Beyond Basic: Must have mastered basic obedience to instructors approval.
Do you want more consistent, controlled obedience and a closer working relationship with your dog; or just more fun training and developing both your dog and your own skills? Then you may want to take “Beyond Basic” obedience classes. These classes will tighten heeling skills, recalls, stays and move onto retrieving objects, jumps, targets and downs on recall depending on the level of the class. This will give you stronger obedience skills and possibly lead to entering Rally-Obedience or Obedience tests also.
Beyond Basic are 8-9pm on Wednesdays
Again, these classes are not acceptable for reactive dogs or aggressive dogs.
ONE HANDLER PER DOG IN CLASS PLEASE.
Handler must be able to manage dog in class setting.

The membership participates in events and around the town, helping to further good will and positive canine representation. The annual Keswick Santa Claus parade, the Sutton Agricultural Fair, local business openings, elementary school visits and therapy dog visitations are but a few of the clubs involvement's. 1998 saw the club join with the local canine control arm of the town to hold their first successful rabies clinic in Keswick. As a further gesture of good will, the club donated the moneys from the admission to the annual shows to local charities and to a bursary at the local high school.
