Last chance for these two. Both RallyO Intro and Canine Good Citizen are due to start tomorrow.
Both at 1pm!
Still a few spaces left in both. This term RallyO Intro will slide straight thru to Intermediate RallyO allowing students to increase their skills into more complex signs. CGC will cater to needs starting at Foundation level exercises but we can look at other levels too for those who are keen.

We trialled our first RallyO freestyle course today in Fielding. This combines our popular Rally Obedience sport with Tricks to manoeuvre a course. Courses are more flexible than standard rally and involve fancy turns and tricks where some strategy is required to lead your dog into left or right heel/side positions. What’s more, you get to personalise it by adding in free choice tricks along the way and project you and your dogs style and talent!
We have our first freestyle class starting next Sunday and we’d love for you to pop along and join us if interested.
As usual register on the website! :)

Schools are back and our Term 3 classes start from this week!
Here is a quick run down on whats happening...

Canine Good Citizen will start on August 4th, slightly later than originally advertised, so the good news is there's still time to jump in and register!
RallyO Freestyle is a NEW class I'm trying out! It also starts on Aug 4th (10.30am) and combines RallyO and tricks, so is perfect for those tricksters at heart who also like to Rally!

Starting this week are 3 Practical Canines classes. Sundays classes are full but you can still jump on the waitlist and we have 2 spots left on Friday 26th at 1.30pm

RallyO Intro still has some slots available for next Sunday (4 aug) at 1pm
Rally Squad is chonking in at 11.30am this term and Agility activities are taking a rest for the muddy months and will be back in Spring with a vengeance 🙂

Any questions about classes, let me know and/or drop in at our website for more details and to register

Entries for nzaro rallyo expo are closing this Wednesday, so go on and get those entries in and join them for a fun day in fielding. It’s on this Sunday 28th July

If anyone is near the grounds with a can of CRC or the Lock specific stuff in the car, can they please give the gate locks a sq**rt, apparently they aren't enjoying the rain

17/07/2024

You may have noticed some work going on in the grounds today. We've been adding a few trimming elements to the astroturf area and also flattening and de-weeding the earth movements from earlier 'goings on'. Hopefully this will improve the grounds for Spring coming. This area will be fenced off temporarily whilst we re-seed and grow the grass back. Please try to keep your dogs off this area so the grass can grow.

27/06/2024

Just a reminder of the club walk tomorrow. We are mindful that there has been a bit of rain lately so if we need to make any last minute changes they will be posted on our page. It maybe that the car park is still closed but there is plenty of parking around the entrance.

24/06/2024

With the Nzaro Expo coming up and of course this sign popping up in Link courses this month, I thought I'd give it a little go in the last of this evenings light. Check out our reel!

22/06/2024

It’s was the shortest day 2 days ago so I’m already looking forward to spring. I’ve had a lot of marigolds spring up and I’m keen to make use of them as a small fundraiser for club. So if you have any punnet style pots going spare, drop them at club with a name and I will fill with marigolds for you. Asking only for a koha. If you don’t have a pot, no worry all these in the pic are up for grabs. It’s dreadful weather today so likely I’ll bring them next Sunday 30th June. 🙂

We had a good contingent of CADTS teams at the DogsNZ Scent Work Trial in Levin last week. And a bunch of successful searches for lots of qualifying ribbons and certificates all round. Congratulations Fitz, Fern , Griffin, Pearl, Halley and Maple!

Do you think you've got an excellent Canine Good Citizen!
Fine out by exploring the skills and temperament of your dog alongside the Canine Good Citizen exercises! CGC is a national award that allows you to make your way up the ladder to the coveted GOLD CGC ! Start at foundation, navigate Bronze, work at Silver and achieve the GOLD title if you dare! :)

There is a massive list of thank yous and congratulations for everyone involved in our ribbon trial yesterday. Firstly, huge thank you to Titahi Bay Canine Obedience Club for the use of their grounds, and to our judges Sheelah Stevens, Jan Voss, and Sonia Calvert. We couldn't have made the day work without all our volunteers - both from within CADTS, all the lovely Titahi Bay club members who made sure things ran smoothly, and competitors who stepped in to help.

Congratulations to all our winners, qualifiers, and everyone who came and had fun! It was so lovely to see so many first time entries, and people having a great time with their dog. We also had so many qualifiers - with hindsight I wish we had taken photos of all the qualifiers, not just the winners. An idea for next year maybe!

Photos of the winners here - please let us know if any human or dog names are incorrect (and apologies if so)! We have lots of incredible action shots to post tomorrow as well, keep an eye out.

25/05/2024

Dang it for the lack of hoopers photos but here are a couple of action shots from yesterdays RallyO show!
Also worth a mention that the Hoopers course fastest/winning time came in at 10.96 seconds. That blew me away... and thats how you do it! ;P
Brilliant turn out, loads of enthusiasm and plenty of smiles. Even caught a bit of sunlight in those pics!
Of course many thanks go out to organizors and judges and to Titahi Bay COC for letting us share their show weekend and grounds!

20/05/2024

Don't forget Tricks is starting tomorrow at 4.15pm. Last I looked there were a couple of places left so if you've been on the fence, pop along to our website and register.
The Tricks is nestled in with Treiball, so select that first if you can't find Tricks in the list (tho now Treiball has completed that might not be the case).
I'll be sending out a welcome mail tonight to check in with you all and find out any specific interests. I want this class to be steered by individual goals where possible :)

How do I earn one of the awesome versatility awards in Rally Link?

Versatility awards were introduced to recognise the efforts of those NZARO members who also participate in the monthly NALA RallyO competition, and to give them something at attain whilst participating in the competition every month. Novice awards are gained from the Standard courses and Advanced awards are gained from the Challenge courses.

We run LINK courses at club every month most usually at RallyO squad!
If you've taken any of the RallyO intro courses and wish to continue to practice your RallyO moves then Squad (and LINK events) are ideal. Squad is one of our member-led groups that runs every Sunday through term time :)

In order to be eligible for the versatility awards you must be a current member of NZARO.
The financial year started on 1st April, so now is the perfect time to join if you would like your NALA RallyO scores to count towards titles this year!

18/05/2024

Congratulations to Jan and Maple! heres a little update from this weekend!
"Maple worked beautifully [yesterday at Napier RallyO Champ show] and scored 100 in Advanced B as well having lovely round in Excellent A - with just a little oops from the handler - so a creditable 3rd on 98."

A peek at some of the club activities this week!
The Treiball short class ended last Wednesday and they will be setting up a Treiball practice on the astro turf this Sunday as a way to rehearse for the Treiball demo running at the show on May 25th. If there are any Treiballers from previous classes wishing to come along to practice, Squad is running at 1pm

After the Treiball class we will be working on Tricks in that Wed 4.15pm slot starting this Wednesday
(still time to register! Its a bit odd but you select treiball and then tricks as they are part of the same term slot).

Sunday's sport squad in action!
If you've done any of the agility classes this one is available to those who wish to join this member-led option. Weather should be holding up for tomorrow's full Sunday at club! :)
