PRESIDENT’S BLOG:-

The first of the winter terms at Longburn is about to finish. It is great to see everyone continue with

their training and supporting us during the colder terms. This term has seen us running 2 class

times, which is something we haven’t done for a while. Any feed back on how you found the times

and the classes would be appreciated.

I would like to thank our instructors for this term, all who volunteer their time to help you and your

dogs. I would also like to congratulate members of the club who have done well at Obedience,

Breed and Rally O competitions or have passed a CGC assessment.

Congratulations to all those students who passed their class this term. And to those who didn't quite

make it, don't despair, look at how far you and your dog have come this term and don't forget any

time spent working with and training your dog is time well spent.

Next term starts on the 13th June and continues at our Longburn Grounds. Next term may see us

running 2 class times again. Times will be advised and dependent on number of enrolments. It is

always helpful if you pre-enrol so that we have an idea of numbers. You can do this either by going

to www.dogtraining.org.nz or by emailing tadtc@yahoo.co.nz.

This week we start a Wine Fundraising, an information sheet & order form as enclosed with the

newsletter and I hope you will support us in this venture.

I trust you have all had an enjoyable term of training and hope to see many of you back next term.

As winter is definitely feeling like it has hit us please remember to stay visible, safe and warm.

Remember training should be fun. Keep up the good work.

Committee profile:

Ashleigh McNae & Nathan Morrison This is Nathan’s 2nd year on the Committee and

this year is joined by partner Ashleigh.

Nathan has being around the Club & helping out

since he was about 9 years old when he helped make

toastie sandwichs at our Championship Shows.

Both he & Ashleigh started coming to Club full time

when they got their first dog Basil, who has since

been joined by Bandit.

Nathan & Basil have started competing in Rally-O shows and both enjoy the challenge it brings. Instructor Profile:

Owen Morrison

Owen lives with Herbie, his 5 year old

Dachshund/Corgi cross he adopted from the SPCA at

the age of 1, and wife Nerolie & her dog Christian.

He has been involved with the Tararua Club for many

years but only since adopting Herbie has he become

involved as a Committee member and Instructor.

Owen and Herbie have competed in Obedience

competition but in the last year or so have moved to

training and competing in Rally-O. Both he & Herbie

enjoy Rally-O and enjoy learning new exercises even

when they are a bit of a challenge.

I recently attended a car accident outside my workplace, which

involved an unrestrained dog inside the car.

The dog ended up trapped in the driver’s foot well beside the

driver’s legs.

Fortunately the driver appeared to have minor injuries and there

were no other vehicles involved but unfortunately the dog did not

survive the accident.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS AS SAFE

BARRIERS IN YOUR VEHICLE
