President’s Report
Presidents Report Term 1 2016
Welcome everyone for another year of training, I
hope you all have a fantastic break and that you
and your dogs are ready for the new year.
We will have a few challenges this year with our car
park, a new access road is under construction so
that the council can start work on the new
roundabout for Bishop road and Great Northern
Hwy, we are not too sure yet how much this will
impact on us but we will keep you informed.
We are planning to have a demo night possibly in
the second term , showcasing most of the sports
you can do with your dogs.
Happy Training
Paul Skewes

Doggy Etiquette
Please ensure you have full control of your dog at all
times. Like humans, dogs need their personal space.
Please check with other handlers before letting your
dog approach another. Some timid dogs can be greatly
stressed when boisterous dogs approach, sometimes
causing aggression. Some of our dogs are still
learning to be nice to each other and progress can be
hindered after an unpleasant encounter. You may see a
yellow ribbon or scarf used to indicate a very timid dog.

Training Treats
This is a wonderful training treat for dogs. It has the consistency
of fudge so you can break off different sized pieces and the dogs
can eat them quickly without a mess. It is also "smelly" so your
dog can anticipate the treat! You must store it in the refrigerator
or freezer.
Tuna Fudge
Ingredients

2 (185 gram) cans tuna (do not drain)

1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1
⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
1. Mix all ingredients with an electric mixer until well
blended.
2. Spread mixture into a greased cake pan.
3. Bake covered at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
4. Store in refrigerator or freeze.
Please remember to sign in at the table and pay your
$2 grounds fee to your instructor each week.
Please clearly print your name (not your dog’s!) and
which class you are in to help with our records.
