Teddy achieved a second placing and a pass mark of 176/200. Unfortunately at the next trial, Teddy was coming in too quickly at the “drop on recall” and missed his drop command. It was a great result for this trialing combination and they are out again competing in a couple of weeks’ time, along with other members from our Club. We wish all the competitors the best of luck and safe travels.

On the club scene, we have consistently seen 60 plus members and their dogs training each Wednesday evening.
There have been three beginner classes this term, as well as six other classes each week, with several members continuing on with their training and socialisation of their dogs.
Although winter is just around the corner and the evenings cooling off, most handlers and their dogs have coped extremely well. Some dogs actually behave much better in the cooler weather; it’s only the handlers who are not as keen. Put on some winter woollies and enjoy the great camaraderie between handlers and their trusty canine mates.
Our club held its bi-monthly grading night on Wednesday, May 25, with 48 handlers and dogs going through their paces. It was a wonderful night with some excellent results and all dogs received dog treats.
