How to join

Club Membership

Your annual Club membership allows you to:

  • have full use of the fully fenced club grounds and facilities;
  • receive support from experienced instructors for you and your dog in your training; and
  • have the opportunity to socialise your dog in a safe, fun environment where you can meet other club members and receive invites to all club activities.
  • Our training is also suitable for members who wish to continue on to obedience trialing.

New applications

Firstly, please fill out Membership Application Form. You can post or email the form to us, or you can come down to the club and submit it in person.  (NOTE: If the application form does not automatically open you may need to open it from the download folder of your web browser.)

Please include the following when you submit your application:
∗ your dog’s most recent vaccination certificate (you can either scan or photograph it and email it to the club or you can bring the original to the club and we will take a photocopy)
