Club rules & expectations

Please observe the following rules:

  • Please report to the desk prior to joining classes and wear membership cards during class.

  • Dogs must be on lead (unless in training) between 9.50am and 11.10am.

  • Dogs must be fully vaccinated and over 4 months of age prior to attending classes.

  • If your dog is unwell, please do not bring it to class.

  • Classes will start promptly at 10am. Please arrive before 10am.

  • Dogs may be issued with yellow “Give Me Space” bandanas if they are nervous, unreliable, or require special treatment. Bandanas must be returned to the desk at the end of class.

  • Dogs wearing yellow bandanas must remain on lead at all times unless under instruction.

  • All members must respect “Give Me Space” bandanas, and keep their dogs at a distance.

  • Dogs require an appropriate collar or harness and lead as approved by the Trainer.

  • Dog droppings must be picked up immediately. Bags are available from the Desk.

  • Children taking part in classes or observing must be supervised at all times.

  • Training dates, activities and holidays for each year will be posted on our website.

Our expectations:

  • Have fun (that applies to you and to your dog).

  • Feel free to ask questions.

  • Reward, pat, cuddle and get excited when you have success.

  • Talk to your dog. Be interesting. Be more interesting than the dogs in the other class, or the smells on the grass. Make him want to be a part of your team.

There is:

  • No smacking (We hope that rule is very clear)

  • No yelling.

  • No harsh jerking on the lead.

  • No retractable leads.

Club Policies and Rules of Incorporation are available for viewing at the Registration Desk.
