Toowoomba's first Dog Obedience class was held on Sunday, July 24, 1966, at "Torrington" on the Western Highway under the auspices of the Darling Downs Kennel Club, and, to quote to local newspaper report, "The response was most gratifying." Many spectators were present, and 37 dogs took part in the actual training under 2 R.A.A.F. instructors. Many breeds were represented, from the tall Borzoi to the tiny, long-haired Miniature Dachshund. A few days later, the Kennel Club called a special meeting to discuss the forming of an Obedience Club in Toowoomba.  After a second training session at "Torrington" on July 31, 1966, the suggestion was put forth. 20 people responded in favour and the club was formed. The first club meeting took place on August 12, 1966, at the Civic Centre, Little Street, Toowoomba, with 29 people present and 2 apologies. At this time only 3 other Dog Obedience Clubs were operating in Queensland, 2 in Brisbane and 1 in Ipswich. Membership fees were $1.00 single, $1.50 double, Juniors 14 - 17 $0.75 and under 14 $0.50. Class fees were $0.10 per dog for members and $0.20 for non members. Since this time our location may have changed, our fees may have changed, but our commitment to our dogs and their training has not.
