Message from our President
Hi everyone,
This year I have taken on the role of President for the club, no small task!
I am currently training two Border Collies at the highest level in Test C, and I also instruct the Competitive Class at the club. Previously, I have served on several committees in key roles, including President and Secretary, been part of the Stay Committee for Dogs NZ.
I am currently involved in the Southern Regions NDTA 2027 Committee for our National Dog Training Assembly, which will be held in Christchurch next year. I have also competed in Agility, Flyball, and Rally-O.
Dog training is a fantastic way to meet new people while building a strong bond with your dog. It’s a journey where we are always learning and discovering new training techniques along the way.
Happy training
Helen McLellan
President
