School of the Hard Knocks

Adelaide's most comprehensive and advanced obedience training.

Our membership gives you the best of both worlds with in depth video tutorials and group class exposure.

This pathway has been developed to make sure the students get the full tool kit when it comes to training dogs. We challenge our clients to put their hard work to the test by competing in an obedience trial and getting a title and certification from the ANKC.
