Membership

The club usually welcomes new members in any week of the training year, which runs from the first Sunday in February to the last Sunday in November, subject to the club's Hot Weather Policy.

With  Puppy Kindy classes unaffected by the Hot Weather policy as they're conducted in the air-conditioned clubrooms.

You will need to bring your dog's current Veterinary vaccination certificate, and the appropriate sum of money (see below) in the form of cash or a cheque, as the club doesn't at this stage offer credit card facilities.

Newcomers are invited to come along and watch classes before deciding whether our approach and time-table suits their needs.

New enrolments for dogs over 16 weeks of age are taken on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

Enrolments for Puppy Kindy (pups aged 8-16 weeks) are also taken on Tuesday nights
