Enrolment

All dogs must be registered with their local council and be fully vaccinated.

Proof of vaccination and registration will be required at enrolment.

Puppies are required to be registered by law at 13 weeks. However, we acknowledge that sometimes it takes a little while for these to be actioned by Council, and will require this information once available. New adoptions may also take a little longer but delays will not prevent enrolment.

Puppies must have had all three sets of initial vaccinations, with the final vaccination being at least 10 days before class starts.

Scenting and Tracking

Sundays 9am-10am

For members who would like to do scenting and tracking with their dog.

Scent training takes place on Sunday mornings. Enjoy training a new skill with your dog (while they enjoy sniffing with the Sunday Sniffers). New dogs start in groups so we can have everyone work through the early stages together for the starter lessons.
