Dog sport Training in Sunshine Coast, QLD.
At Unleashed Dog Training, we recognise that many problem behaviours in dogs stem from a lack of mental stimulation. When the dog is not fulfilled with constructive outlets for their energy, they often find ways to expend their energy, leading to behaviours that can frustrate their human companions. To combat this, we've introduced an exhilarating solution: our sport dog club, Dynamic Dogs Unleashed, designed for owners and dogs looking to dive into the world of dog sports without the pressure of competition.
Rally
Rally is an engaging sport that combines the elements of tricks, obedience, and jumps into a team effort between you and your dog. It involves navigating a course with various stations, each presenting a unique challenge that requires teamwork and communication to complete. This blend of disciplines not only provides a fun and mentally stimulating experience but also strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
Our journey begins with an 8-week course tailored to equip you with all the necessary skills for novice-level Rally. After completing this foundational course, you're invited to join our ongoing Rally-On classes. These weekly sessions are a perfect opportunity to practice the skills you've learned and tackle new rally courses set by our experienced trainers.
Tricks
Trick training is a fun and rewarding way to bond with your dog while building their confidence, focus, and love of learning. Whether it’s a high-five, spin, roll over, or even putting away their toys, tricks turn training into playtime. It’s all about enjoying the process, celebrating progress, and making memories together—no pressure, just fun.
We begin with a 7-week Tricks Starters course, designed for dogs 10 months and older and all experience levels. You’ll learn how to teach tricks step by step with the goal of just having fun or later entering trials and progressing through various levels. After that, you're invited to join our Tricks Drop In classes—weekly classes where the fun continues with new skills, creative challenges, and plenty of encouragement.
Why not learn some new party tricks, and tire your dog out all in the same fun class!
Scent Work
Scent work taps into your dog’s natural instincts, transforming their incredible nose into a powerful tool for fun, focus, and teamwork. In this addictive sport, your dog learns to locate specific scents hidden in various environments, from containers to vehicles to outdoor spaces. Each search presents a puzzle that challenges your dog mentally, deepens the trust between you and fulfills their natural desires. From puppies, to older dogs, reactive, nervous, over excited and everything in between. Scent work is suitable for all owners and dogs.
Our scent work journey starts with a 6-week introduction to scent work course designed to introduce you and your dog to the fundamental skills of searching, indication and odor recognition. Once you’ve completed this foundational class, you’re welcome to join our drop in classes—weekly group classes where you can practice your skills, tackle new scent puzzles, and explore more advanced search challenges and if your keen work towards trials, with guidance from our experienced trainers.
Barrel Racing
Barrel racing is an exciting, fast-paced activity that builds your dog’s focus, body awareness, and responsiveness—all while having a blast. Inspired by the equestrian sport, this dog-friendly version involves teaching your pup to run around barrels in specific pattern. It’s great physical and mental exercise, but more importantly, it’s a fun way to strengthen your teamwork and communication.
We start with a 2 hour Barrel Race Workshop where you and your dog will learn the core skills: how to move confidently around obstacles, build speed with control, and follow directional cues. Once you've got the basics, you're welcome to join our Barrel Race Drop in Classes where you can refine your patterns, increase speed, and enjoy playful challenges with a supportive group. Competitions are held twice a year on a local farm, including a weekend of camping with like minded dog people, some drinks around a camp fire and lots of extra fun games.
Beyond Training: Your Path to Competition
For those intrigued by the thrill of competition, our team is here to guide you every step of the way towards participating in ANKC trials. From mastering the rules to preparing for what to expect on the day, we provide comprehensive support. And for those who prefer a more casual approach, our 'In Club Trials' offer a chance to progress through levels and continue honing your skills within a supportive community.
