|
|
1.
|
Find out about the club to make sure it is for you. We are currently running puppy kinder so our classes are for pups between 16 weeks
and 6 months and dogs over 6 months.
|
|
Information can be obtained by:
|
|
|
|
Attending the club and speaking to one of our volunteers. This is by far
the best way and this can be done every Sunday morning during office hours (9.00am to
11.00am).
|
|
|
Phone the club (5243 4555) and speak to our secretary during office hours.
|
|
|
Browsing the web site (soon to be updated to a friendlier format we hope)
|
|
|
Contact the club by email
|
|
|
Visit the club during training on a Sunday. If you decide to take this
option please do NOT bring your dog and make yourself known at the office
upon your arrival. Club officials are very busy on Sundays and may
not have time to answer questions as thoroughly or promptly as you may want.
|
|

Once you have joined you can book a place in the training intake you wish to
attend. Note that although there is a new class on the first Sunday of
