Moorabbin Obedience Dog Club
Join us
We welcome new members and their dogs every Sunday morning (except non training dates). Dogs can start Obedience from 12 weeks of age and there is no upper age limit.
Our preferred method of joining is online using the following form with payment via PayPal. We are also able to process memberships at the office during training times and accept payment by cash, cheque, EFTPOS, Visa or mastercard.
A current vaccination certificate with minimum C5, or a written certificate from your vet, must be provided prior to receiving your membership badge and attending training sessions with your dog at the club.
New Members need to pay a one off $25.00 joining fee in addition to their annual membership fees
First Day
Your membership registration is not complete (our system will show your membership is "Pending") until you have shown the vaccination certificate for each dog you intend to train at the club. A minimum of C5 is required. On your first day you should head to the Office and show the vaccination certificate(s) so we can complete your membership approval.
On Sunday, all new members will join the First Day Class at 12.00 noon. If you have registered online you must present your vaccination certificate for each dog your train at the Club, we suggest you head to the office by 11.30am if you have registered online. If you have not registered on-line please come at 11.15 am to complete the registration and bing the vaccination certificate for your dog.
Once you have completed registration, we will invite you and your dog to participate in a First Day Class that includes an information session and an introductory class.
After the First Day Class you will be advised the time of your future classes.
There will be no First Day classes on Wednesday nights.
Equipment
We sell a good range of leather leads at very low prices. We can advise you on what would best suit your dog.
