Northern Obedience Dog Club Non-profit organisation staffed by volunteers dedicated to helping people train their dogs to be true companions in our urban society.

Northern Obedience Dog Club is a non-profit organisation staffed by volunteers dedicated to promoting the training and understanding of the dog, so that it can be accepted as a true companion in our urban society. The Club trains people to train their dogs to be obedient, companionable and useful. New members (please don't bring your dog to Registration), you must register and attend the Introduct

ion Class before you can attend training classes. Handlers over the age of 10 years (with parents' signed permission & presence for those 18 years old and below) are welcome to train their dogs. It should be noted that we train on public parkland.
*Puppies (under 6 months of age) with valid Vaccination Certificates may commence training in Puppy Class but we strongly encourage you to discuss with your vet about exposing your puppy on public parkland before starting.
*Vaccinated dogs 6 months and older may commence training in Class 1.

We hope that you and your furry buddies are keeping cool today.
Please PLAN AHEAD for the scorcher that’s coming our way tomorrow. With temperatures not expected to drop below 40 degrees until after dark, if your dog insists on exercise, it will be a day for early morning walks and cool inside games. (See below for how much joy an inside game can bring your dog on a hot day!)
Pop that kong in the freezer now so it’s ready. 🙂
Make sure that your dog always has access to plenty of water and a cool location.

EXTREME WEATHER WARNING:
With today’s temperatures expected to reach 40 degrees + remember not to exercise your dog in the heat of the day. If you must exercise your dog do it before it heats up or in the evening when it cools down.
Make sure your dog has plenty of water and shade.
Look after yourself and your dog.
Check in with elderly friends and relatives to ensure they have a plan to cope with extreme heat.
Avoid going out in the extreme heat.

With today’s forecast please remember that heat stress is very dangerous for dogs.
Make sure that they always have access to water and shade.
Please don’t walk dogs in the heat.
When it does cool down, if you are taking your dog out, make sure that the footpath is has cooled enough to hold your hand on, so that it doesn’t burn your dog’s paws.

With the summer heat well and truly with us it is a timely reminder that dogs cannot not cool their bodies as efficiently as humans. Heat exhaustion in dogs can be catastrophic.

1. Avoid exercising your dog on hot days
2. If you must exercise your dogs do it in the cool of the morning before the heat sets in or wait till it cools down in the evening
3. Make sure your dog has access to plenty of drinking water
4. If your dog is outside make sure it has access to shade
5. Beware of hot surfaces, bitumen, concrete, artificial turf etc, can get very hot in direct sunlight. If you can't hold the back of you hand to the surface and keep it there for 5 seconds it is too hot for your dog and they will burn their paws
6. Best of all try and stay indoors with your dog.
