Our classes are run every Saturday afternoon at Pinelands Primary School. We welcome all shapes, sizes and breeds of dogs including mixed breeds. Why not pop down to the club and see what we have to offer? We are there rain or shine! Classes are never cancelled due to bad weather.
We have a fabulous team of trainers who are all volunteers. Five trainers teach Puppy Classes, three teach Beginners’ Obedience, ten teach Home Obedience Classes, four teach Agility, two teach FlyBall, two teach Competition Obedience and two run our clubhouse. We also have two behaviourists on our team.
We may be able to offer RingCraft classes again soon (if there is enough demand). Drop me a line if you are interested. info@capeprovincedogclub.co.za
We are planning a shake up in the second term with regard to the classes we offer. We will be keeping the puppy classes and adult beginner’s as they are but re-look at all our other obedience classes. We have been following the same format for 17 years and we feel it is time to freshen things up! Watch this space!

Flyball
Youe will need to join our club to participate in flyball. Flyball is a relay race for 2 teams of 4 dogs who race against each other from a start/finish line, over a row of four jumps, to a spring loaded box which when pressed, releases a tennis ball. The dog must return to their handler over the four jumps with the ball before the next dog can run. The first team to have all 4 dogs over the finish line without dropping the balls is declared the winner!
Who can participate?
Dogs of any size and breed (or cross breed) can participate. They must be ball crazy, under control off the lead, in good health and not dog aggressive. Pop down to our club to chat to our Flyball trainers if you think your dog might enjoy Flyball.
Competition Obedience
You will need to join our club to participate in these classes. We offer preparation for Kennel Union Obedience Competition. The group meets at 2.45pm. every Saturday afternoon. Your dog needs to do have good loose-lead heelwork and a reliable retrieve to participate. You can feed into this group from our Home Obedience Classes.
