The Old English Sheepdog takes well to obedience training and we have seen many trialled successfully in the ring. This is just as well as a dog of their size can cause some problems unless properly controlled.
You will need therefore at least basic obedience training whether or not it is intended to compete in obedience trials, and you are more than welcome at the Club obedience classes as soon as your puppy has had its final injection. This training, as well as making a large strong and sometimes stubborn dog into a well-heeled animal, also creates a special mutual bond between owner and pet.
Obedience training teaches the dog good manners and discipline and permits the owner to predict his behaviour and exercise control over him in normal situations.
Whilst there are several clubs and individuals available that offer this training, the Old English Sheepdog Club of Victoria (Inc) also offers basic obedience instruction. Not only will you receive basic training but you will also have the opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and be able to discuss common problems.
