SAODC offers invaluable foundation and life skills training for dogs and their carers.
We also provide pathways into trialling in Obedience, Rally and Tricks.
Over the coming months we will focus on trial teams, their successes and goals.
Today we acknowledge Graham & Peppa, a 5 year old Border Collie. They are a great team who, this year, have achieved their Rally Advanced title and 2 passes towards their Open Obedience title.
Dom & Harvey, another Border Collie, have had an amazing year in their first year of trialling. They have gained their Obedience CCD and Rally Advanced titles, Congratulations! Harvey also trains in Agility.
Helen & Riva, a 5 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, have
have gained titles in CCD & Rally Advanced. Riva's favourite discipline is Scent Work, where she is working towards her Excellent title.

For those of you that are in Barbs Advanced Skills class on a Tuesday morning there are a few changes. As some may know Barb will not be returning to the club until April. For the interim you are welcome to choose to either go into a Rally class in the first session, or a trialing class in the second session . Even if you think you are not ready for either of these classes it won't matter, both instructors are aware of your situation. I am hoping this will be for February only . If possible can you please convey this information to others from this class that you have contacts for, so as many as possible are aware of the situation. Thankyou for your patience.
