GCC is equivilant to basic obedience training...or so the woman at SKC told me...you need it for your dog to advance to other levels of obedience training and i think pet therapy, tho' some have told me otherwise... next available class starts 23 june 2002...i might join unless i can find a trainer who's willing to do just assessment...know any?  |

i suppose you really need classes only if going for competitions...have yet to be convinced by any trainer yet  |

the sunday class is at toa payoh...i dunno about the bishan class...dunno where is bishan oso...
about training classess...to go or to train at home..
it depends on individual and personality of each dog... so its up to ur choice.... as long as in the end ur pet respond to ur commands its good training...
"black cat, white cat, cats that can catch mice are good cats"
=
"training class, no training class...as long as my dog can respond to mi, that is good training"
