About
Dover Gardens Kennel and Obedience Club Inc. is a sports club located in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1969, Dover Gardens is a not-for-profit organisation affiliated with The South Australian Canine Association Inc. (DogsSA), which is the member body of the Australian National Kennel Council.
The club is dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership and providing training and competitive opportunities for dogs and their owners.
Dover Gardens offers a range of classes in obedience, rally, scent work, and flyball. The classes cater to dogs of all ages and skill levels, from Puppy Kindergarten to advanced competition levels. The club takes pride in its members' achievements in various dog-related sports and activities, both as individuals and when representing the club in team events.
Membership at Dover Gardens is open to new members throughout the training year, which runs from the first Sunday in February to the last Sunday in November. The club follows a Hot Weather Policy, but Puppy Kindy classes are conducted in the air-conditioned clubrooms and are not affected by this policy. Prospective members can join the club by attending the membership renewal/registration day, which usually takes place in January.
The club's calendar year includes two official obedience competitions, held in May and October. Additionally, Dover Gardens typically organises at least one Mock trial each year, leading up to one of the obedience competitions. These events provide opportunities for members to showcase their skills and achievements. The club also keeps its members informed about important dates, news, and events through its Facebook page.
Dover Gardens Kennel and Obedience Club is located at Quick Rd, Mitchell Park SA 5043, on the Mitchell Park Oval. The club has recently benefited from the ongoing support of Marion City Council and recently opened new clubrooms with updated facilities in July 2022. All committee members and instructors at Dover Gardens are volunteers who are passionate about responsible dog ownership and educating owners about their dogs' needs and behaviour.
