Join us on our next six week basic obedience course to have the best behaved dog in any situation.
The course covers all the moves (sit, down, wait, stay, come) on command as well as behaving when they meet another person or dog, riding nicely in a car, being confident with different sounds and surfaces as well as all the fun tricks your dog can bring to a party.
🐕 Sunday mornings at 11am at Sandy Point
🐕 $80 for the six weeks
🐕 Held in Otatara
🐕 Whilst we're the German Shepherd Club, all breeds are welcome!
🐕 Next course starts 11th October

🐾 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL EXHIBITORS
After inspecting the grounds today, we have noted that there are sheep and lambs in the neighbouring paddock.
For the safety of both our dogs and the livestock, we respectfully ask that ALL DOGS ARE KEPT ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES while on the grounds.
This is also important so that we remain respectful of the Rugby Club, the property, and our neighbouring farmers and their stock.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding. 🐾
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and ensure we are welcome back to this wonderful venue in the future.
