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.
PRESIDENTS REPORT 2025
Firstly, I would like to thank all our hardworking volunteers for another year of assistance.
Without your efforts it would be impossible to run the club and provide our training and
trialling activities.
It has been another successful year for the club. We have continued to provide quality
training activities over a wide range of areas. It’s the success of these activities that
enables us to continue to engage in trialling events across many disciplines even where
we need to financially subsidise them.
The club has continued to invest in our instructors with the funding of a training seminar
by Brent Dry which was well received by its participants. We have purchased equipment
as required and this year saw the completion of additional office and club room
cabinetry. We were able to do so by drawing down on our reserves that had been built
up over many years, but the Committee thought the investment was required.
We like all performance clubs however continue to face a challenging future particularly
around trialling where the changing priorities of participants is impacting on the number
and viability of some disciplines.
The Committee continued to monitor our trials both from a financial, resource and
participant perspective to ensure a good mix of activities. The schedule for 2025 was
tentatively maintained for 2026 and bolstered by a trial in Track and Search and Tricks.
However, it was recommended that the incoming Committee continue to monitor all
trials and adjust where necessary.
I would like to particularly thank the Committee for their work throughout the year in
guiding the club through sometimes difficult times. Over many years one person has
kept things together when it got difficult, they have provided me with mentorship and
assistance during my time with the club. I am of course referring to Cynthia who is
calling time on her committee activities. Thankyou, Cynthia from all of us.
