Registration opens for NYOC members on March 3 and for non-members on March 7, 2025. Classes often fill very quickly so we encourage you to register as soon as you are eligible so you and your pup don’t miss out. Here’s the registration information you need.
Do you have a new puppy? Do you want to give them the best possible start? Do you have questions or concerns?
If you expect to have a puppy, 8-24 weeks old by early January and you might like to join our puppy, please let us know (training@nyoc.ca) ASAP. We’d like to save you a spot.
NYOC’s Rally and Obedience Trials as well as the Canine Good Neighbour will be held at:
Bewdley Community Centre
Sat., June 22 and Sun., June 23.
For more information, check our 2024 Trials page.
Boots on the Ground is a very unique service-dog program. It has been specifically designed for 1st Responders who have been diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). In this program, puppies and 1st Responders go through the training process together right from the start!
Heidi Kadoke will tell us how this program works. Join us on Monday, May 6 from 7:30pm-8:30pm. This will be a zoom meeting. See our flyer for more information.
All classes except Puppy Kindergarten are FULL. There is one spot left in Puppy Kindergarten

Many members of NYOC and their canine companions enjoy participating in various dog sports as well as conformation events. Each year, we celebrate them by posting their names and the titles that they have earned.
If you would like to see who earned what in 2023, visit these these two pages:
If you are at all interested in doing dog sports or conformation with your canine companion, take a look at this page from the Canine Kennel Club to see just some of the dog sports that are available. NYOC training classes tend to focus on Obedience and Rally-O but many of our members participate in over twenty different dog sports. If you think you would like to join us, see NYOC’s membership page.
Sue Alexander will be presenting a talk on Self Control, what it is and what it is not when it comes to dogs and their behaviour.
Monday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 pm
Sue has done zoom meetings with us before and we are pleased to have her back again. To get the link and further information please check out this flyer.

There is no magic wand in dog training. We hope that our training classes will be fun for your dog. The classes will be work for you, though! Enjoyable work, hopefully! You will need to work with your dog 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes preferably in a variety of locations e.g., at home, outside, away from home, in order for you and your dog to gain as much as possible from the classes.
