ABOUT US
More Than Just Training
Established in 1961 in Oxley, Brisbane, we are Queensland’s longest established dog training club and a not-for-profit community group dedicated to training handlers and their dogs. We run regular training courses and rolling classes focused on building positive relationships and developing confident, connected family companions.
We welcome anyone who wants to learn positive reinforcement-based dog training.
Our aim is to create a positive environment for sharing knowledge, offering support and fostering friendships to help people improve their lives with their dogs.
60+ years training
Volunteer run
Positive reinforcement
As an affiliate of Dogs Queensland, we host many dog trials a year in agility and scent work. Our club is run entirely by volunteers and we always need more helpers.
OUR COURSES
Training For Every Stage
From first steps with your puppy to advanced training and sports, our programs are designed to build confident, connected dogs at every stage. Family Dog Training is the foundation for all other courses at the club unless you have attended group training elsewhere and have successfully completed an assessment at BDTC.

Early socialisation and basic skills for puppies in a safe, fun environment. Build a strong foundation from day one.
Family Dog Training
Agility
From foundations through to handling skills and advanced levels. High-energy obstacle courses for you and your dog.
Scent work
Hoopers
A low-impact sport focused on distance handling, teamwork and confidence-building through flowing obstacle courses.

"BDTC is more than just dog training — it’s a community. The support, knowledge and encouragement from the trainers and members makes it such a great place to learn and grow with your dog."
