The owners are required to join the Club (for insurance purposes) and to commit to attending the next available 8 week Beginners session.

This informal and short time where you and your puppy will interact with other young dogs will include: * talks on a range of dog issues: such as - the importance of being the pack leader, bedding, worming, feeding, jumping up, mouthing, grooming, puppy problems, collars and leashes, harnesses and haltis * socialising with other dogs and meeting as many different people and situations as possible under supervision * basic obedience including but not limited to teaching: sit, lie, very short stays, come, work on a loose lead, recall from play, meal time manners, fetch and play Contact the Club as soon as your new puppy comes home so that you don't miss out on this early learning opportunity to help your dog grow up with many good habits and behaviours |

By Genevieve Mater Nearly every country arrived yesterday to help celebrate the ACT RSPCA Dog Olympics at its Weston headquarters. It was a day where sporting spirit triumphed and animals reigned supreme. Cattle dogs from Australia, boxers from Germany, Maltese terriers from Malta and, of course, Scottie dogs from Scotland. Sophie the boxer shone as she competed in several events. Her owners, Kathy and Terry Griffiths, of Jerrabomberra, were there cheering her on, every step of the way. ''We're representing Queanbeyan and District Dog Training Club, and Germany,'' Mrs Griffiths said. Sophie competed in hurdles, water polo, the walking race and the Paralympics with gusto. She even brought her own equipment. ''She has her own tennis balls,'' Mrs Griffiths said. While dogs dominated the event watched by a crowd of 200 people, a rat and a ferret also made an appearance. Although the day was full of traditional Olympic events, they were altered slightly to make them more canine friendly. In the water polo events, contestants had 30 seconds to retrieve as many balls as possible from a small pool. In rhythmic gymnastics, owners and their dogs had 30 seconds to impress the judges with a trick or routine.. All participants received free RSPCA membership for their efforts and, while there was no entry charge, participants were encouraged to donate money to assist the RSPCA with its work. |
