Happy new year to all our members!

relaxing and enjoyable break

PAODC welcomes all our new members

that have joined this month. We hope

that you enjoy your training with us.

Feel free to approach any of our

instructors for advice or any issues.

Welcome back also to all our returning

members. Hopefully the furbabies are

not too rusty and are getting back into

training.

Where possible, please support our

fundraising efforts in order to keep our

fees as low as possible.

Fees are now due for the year.

Single membership $50

Family membership $60

We would like to thank Saint Meat at

North Haven for their wonderful

sausages for our free sausage sizzle

second Sunday on the month.

HOT WEATHER

POLICY

The Club has reviewed its hot weather policy. If the temperature at

beginning of the day is forecast 33-36 degrees, all classes will be at

9.00 am. If the forecast is 36 and over, there will be no classes. If

members are finding their dogs are suffering in the heat, they are to

use their own discretion and leave the class. Water is always

provided and classes conducted in the shade where possible.

Coco & Jazzy

Our next fundraising will be from the Kytons Bakery.

Lamingtons and Hot Cross Buns are just some of the items that

can be ordered.

Order forms are available in the office and need to be returned

by 29 March (graduation day) with payment.

Orders will be delivered on 5 April.

REMINDERS

• Members are reminded to pick up after their dogs.

• Closed footwear to be worn during all training sessions.

• Graduation is held on the last Sunday of the month with a

Bacon & Egg breakfast.

• Free sausage sizzle second Sunday of each month.

• If entering the office, please remember one dog at a time.

• When possible, please support our sponsors (Pet Café,

Harbourside Vet Care and Grooming with Shelley) be sure

to let them know you are from PAODC.

Annual Check of Vaccinations

To keep all of our dogs and puppies safe, PAODC checks the

vaccination status of all canine members on joining the club and

every year thereafter.

Please show a copy of your dog’s vaccination certificate at the

clubroom office each time you re-vaccinate, so we can keep our

records up to date.

It is helpful if your vet can record the “date next due” on the

vaccination certificate, as some vaccines are only needed every

three years. The PAODC Registrar will send reminders over the

next few weeks to those whose vaccination records are out of

date.
