Changes...
just a few...
Welcome to our new website, this is the first in a series of small changes we’re bringing to the club.
In making these changes we aim to move the club into the future, keep in line with COVID-19 reporting requirements, reduce paper usage and introduce a simpler method of running the club.
For many years, Craigieburn DOG has been a dog obedience school run by committee, and we’d like to thank each and every one of the previous committee members that assisted with this over the past 27 years. It’s not always easy to find new committee members though, and due to COVID-19 we were unable to elect a new committee which has caused us to change the club into a business. Now run solely by Fay Harding with some background assistance from her children Athena and Marcus, the main formats of how the club will now operate will, for the most part, not change. We’ll still be offering your first lesson free, and training offered with the same passion for having an obedient dog.
We run this club in order to encourage you and your beloved fur children to be their best.
We’ve recently started using an EFTPOS machine for convenience, and there is now a online booking function which can be accessed here. In the near future, you’ll see the introduction of an online shop (You’ll see these buttons on the site now, but they’re not functional just yet).
As we begin to find our feet in this new climate of rules and regulations, you’ll see more and more changes for the better. Of course if you would like to suggest anything , our ears are open!
Attention Newcomers: Starting 2022, Newcomers can attend the club on any Sunday of each month. (Except for public holiday long weekends).
