Once you purchase your puppy you will probably want to start getting involved in the many activities offered by DOGS Victoria.
What activities can puppies do?
Although some of the more active sports require dogs to be physically mature before participating, puppies as young as three months can be shown in dog shows. Many obedience clubs also offer puppy preschool courses and puppies can then begin regular obedience training once that phase is complete. Any of these types of activities are great for socialising your puppy and making sure it is used to being around other dogs and people.
Once your puppy begins to grow into an adult you may want to get involved in other sports such as Agility or Herding. Please visit our Activities and Events page to find out more.
You will need to be a member of DOGS Victoria in order to compete in these events and earn titles for your dog.
But that is not the only benefit of a DOGS Victoria membership.
