Gippsland branch received a visit from Lorna Piper from East Gippsland Dog Obedience Club on the 23rd of March. Lorna shared her knowledge as both a participant and a judge introducing our members to Rally-O obedience. Complete with a demonstration of each station by the very obedient Paul, a fun day was had by all and the instructors will be setting up a Rally-O course regularly for members to train with. Thank you for visiting Lorna!
I’d also like to encourage members to send in any news they have or photo’s they wish to share to my email at cazzas_corner@hotmail.com for inclusion in the newsletter and/or on the website.
Well, that’s all for now, more to come in the next edition….Watch this space!
Cheers
