Tricks & Treats
Advanced training the fun and useful way!
Want your dog to put away rubbish for you? Get a can out of the fridge? Put away his toys, or your socks? Dance with you? These and many useful and fun tricks are at the core of this course. This is a great way to experience the power of clicker training. A great side effect is that training tricks enhances your dog's love of working for you in "everyday" life as well. But the main thing is ... it's fun!
FunGility
Agility just for fun
Agility is a great sport, providing heaps of exercise, mental stimulation, and most of all, fun for both owner and dog! This course is geared towards pet dog owners, who want to enjoy the additional control and fun of Agility, but don't want to be competitive. Training is off leash (when ready).
Group courses:
Beginners: $210 (6 sessions)
Advanced: $210 (6 sessions)

Rally-O
Advanced "Obedience" fun for you and your best friend!
If you love working with your dog (and who wouldn't, when positive training is so much fun?) and are looking for another challenge, why not try Rally-O?
Based on traditional "obedience", Rally-O involves heeling a course similar to Agility, but with "obedience" tasks instead of obstacles (although small jumps are part of it.)
Here at Delta Dogz, the main goal is to have fun and enhance your skill level and communication, rather than being competitive. If you want to know more, just ask :-)

About your trainers
Daniela Pelgrim
My dog journey started with Jessie, a small white fluffball bichon-schnauzer cross. She was trained the traditional way by choke collar and verbal praise. After she died, Giro, my Smooth Collie, taught me how wrong this approach was, and introduced me to the fascinating world of positive dog training. Kiara, my Whippet, reaped all the benefits, and can't wait for her training all day, every day!

I have always loved animals, and growing up I owned everything from yabbies to rabbits and lovebirds. I got my first dog when I was 14, a little papillon called Merry. It took us a while to discover clicker training, but it was a revelation. It has worked wonders for my second dog Mystic, who was always a shy dog. Now training is my dogs’ favourite thing in the world, and we have competed successfully in many dog sports.
