It's going to be HOT for the next 4 to 5 days. Please be sensible about when and how you excercise your dogs.

A heatwave hitting Bendigo starting tomorrow ☀☀☀ have you prepared to ensure your pets are kept safe and comfortable?
🐱The BEST thing you can do to ensure the comfort of your pets is to keep them inside with you, with the air conditioner on ❄❄❄
🐑For pets who can not access the house, ensure plenty of shade is available🌳🌳🌳
🐓It's best to supply multiple sources of water, to ensure there is a constant supply. Your pet will drink more than normal, and may like to sit or play in the water too 💧💧💧
🐶Don't drive with your pet in the car if possible, keep road travel to what's necessary only, and NEVER leave your pet alone in the car, even for just a minute! 🚗🚗🚗
🐕Walk your dog in the early morning before it heats up - remember in Bendigo, it's still very hot in the evenings and the ground can retain heat from the sun making it too hot to walk your dog, even in the evenings! 🔥🔥🔥

Please look after your pets this Summer, and speak to your vet for more information and advice for managing your pet.

After consulting the radar, it looks like there will be some rain between 7 and 7.30 and then we might get a few light showers.
The instructors will be there, and we'll train unless or until it starts raining cats and dogs. Maybe bring a rain coat.
Tonight will be the last formal training night for the year. Next week will be presentations and games.

Training is cancelled tonight 25th Nov.
The stewards have inspected the ground and it's very soggy. Great for ducks but not for dogs.
