Welcome to Waikato Canine Obedience Club, we are a not-for-profit obedience training school based in Te Rapa, Hamilton. Our team of dedicated instructors understand the struggles of living with a poorly-behaved dog and we are here to guide you on a transformative journey. At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that “dog training is a lifestyle change”.
Imagine having the essential tools to effortlessly call your dog back, enjoying a pet with impeccable manners, and bidding farewell to leash tugging. These dreams become reality when you invest in your dog’s training.
Our obedience classes cater to every dog and handler team, offering group programs for all ages and breeds, from puppy basics to advanced skills. Welcome to a lifestyle change that dog training brings – a return on your investment that will last a lifetime!
Beginner Classes
Classes take place every Tuesday night starting at 6:30 PM, at our Bristol Park training grounds in Te Rapa.
Our program is carefully structured to guide handlers and their furry companions from the basics to advanced obedience levels. We believe in a progressive approach where each class and week builds upon the foundation laid in the previous one. This method ensures a strong foundation and a commitment to training for both you and your dog.
At Waikato Canine, we prioritize positive reinforcement techniques, with food as our primary motivator. We’re dedicated to equipping you with the skills necessary to effectively train your dog and strengthen the bond between you.
Please note that all dogs joining our classes must be fully vaccinated, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone involved.
Embark on this journey with us and watch as your pup transforms into a well-behaved and obedient companion!

I really love all aspects of the club. The Instructors are amazing and the training makes sense but is gentle too.
It was all amazing! The trainers and the advice is fantastic.
Love your work!
The trainers really watched the Dogs & Handlers and knew appropriate suggestions to make to overcome difficulties. Always very encouraging.
I wanted a controllable, well mannered dog that may train on to be a working dog – I feel we are on the way.
