Registration/JoiningWhen you join the Club you become a Member, not your dog. The joining fee entitles you to membership of the Club, allowing you to train your dog at the Club, until the end of June*. Membership renewal forms for the following year are mailed in May.
* Members who join in May or June of the current year do not have to renew membership until June of the following year.
The registration/joining process is as follows:
-
Choose a joining date for your puppy (aged 12-weeks to under 6 months) or adult dog (6 months and over) from the scheduled Training Dates
-
Turn up on the grounds with your dog on leash on time for registration:
-
Adult Dog Beginner Class joiners registration at 8:00am
-
Puppy Class joiners registration at 9:15am
-
Bring your dog's current vaccination certificate. Note: Current vaccination certificates must be provided when joining the Club and renewing membership
-
Ensure you have adequate monies for registration as listed in the Club's current Membership Fees
-
Note: Puppies and adult dogs must have a collar and lead for training - not a harness or extendable lead. You will be advised on training equipment, which is available from the Club for members only at a reasonable price. New members should bring $15 (Australian) on top of the joining fee to cover the need to purchase appropriate training equipment
-
Having joined the Club, you will be told where and when your class will start. Your Instructor will inform you of the training objectives of the class, Club and Park Rules and the process to be followed beyond Week 1 of training
After an initial training programme, in Puppy Class and/or Adult Dog Beginners, you and your dog will automatically progress to Class 1. Thereafter progression to advanced level classes is earned by passing promotion tests.
Important Notice: At all times YOUR dog is YOUR responsibility. In the unlikely event of your dog showing aggression towards people and/or other dogs, no Instructor, helper or Club Member can be put at risk.
