About Us
We are a non-profit, volunteer run organisation that offers classes in Pet Dog Training, Obedience, Rally, Agility, Tracking and Scent Work for all levels from beginners through to trial standard.
Classes are held on Sundays throughout the year at The Domain Crossroads Oval.
​
Classes are run by experienced instructors who are active in their respective canine sports fields.
​
We strongly believe in positive reinforcement training techniques.
​
We recommend that members also follow us on Facebook to be kept informed about any short notice changes.
President's Report 2024
It has been a very difficult and challenging year for the club, but we did have some successes.
Some of those successes include.
-
Passes and titles being achieved by members across a range of performance disciplines.
-
A sound financial position which guarantees our viability into the future.
-
Our new Constitution has finally been accepted in principle by Dogs Tasmania.
-
Many thanks to the sub-committee and particularly Wayne who have spent hours of work on this document.
-
We have cemented a good working relationship with other clubs in the area. We have agreed to help each other out where necessary. Barb, Michelle and I enjoyed our secondment to Eastern Shore Dog Training Club.
I acknowledge and thank my executive: Pauline the Vice-president, Mark the Treasurer, Louise the Secretary, Jencie the Trial Secretary and Bruce our Public Officer.
Thank you to my hard-working committee ---Kevin, Leanne, Liz, Rachel, Michelle, Emily, Greg, Kim and Trish.
I want to remind members that the committee and instructors are all volunteers who work very hard throughout the year for the benefit of the community and their dogs.
Our dedicated instructors, assistant instructors, and coordinators are the people who keep the club going and I know I speak for all our members when I say thank you very much for giving up your Sundays to be on the ground.
Thank you to Pauline the Head Instructor and Jody the Deputy Head Instructor.
I look forward to watching our handlers grow in confidence with their training whether it be teaching their dogs to be good citizens or whether they join the trialling community.
This is my 9th and final year as President. Good luck to the incoming President, and smooth sailing for 2025.
