BIG NEWS FOR AUSTRALIAN DOG OBEDIENCE!

The state member bodies met earlier in the year to vote on the proposed rule changes for ANKC Obedience, and while we have been sitting on this information for a while waiting to be allowed to share it, it’s been announced that it has been voted to REMOVE GROUP STAYS from ANKC Obedience in CCD, Novice and Open classes. UD will still have the group Stand for Exam exercise.

Having been involved in coaching clients in ANKC Obedience for many years, we applaud the ANKC for making the move to remove group stays from competition obedience.

Should dogs be able to do a group stay, or can they be trained to do this with stability? Yes, of course they can, but the reality for many years has been that the exercise comes at a high risk with dogs that break stays for a variety of reasons, including to attack another dog in the line up.

Entries in obedience have been declining for many years, let’s hope these new rule changes help bring more people back to a sport that we and many of our clients love.

🎥🎥 NEW BEFORE AND AFTER VIDEO! 🎥🎥

Can an old dog learn new tricks?

Meet Saint, the 8 year old German Shepherd who has been displaying aggression towards other dogs for many years.

He is staying with us for a 5 Week Board and Train program to help teach him some new skills, to give him (and his owners) a new lease on life.

Check out his progress during his first two weeks of training!

Pupdate time!
The puppies are now 4 weeks old and becoming more adventurous every day!
When you are this cute, we reckon you can stick your tongue out every day not just on Tuesdays 😆

Tongue out Tuesday 💙
