The Border Collie Club of South Australia Inc. is affiliated with Dogs SA and the National Border Collie Council as the official South Australian club for the beautiful Border Collie breed. We aim to encourage the ethical breeding, care, training and exhibition of the Border Collie, as well as promote public interest in the breed and activities that can be participated in with these versatile and very clever dogs.The club has identified a need in the community for clear, up-to-date, breed specific support and information when it comes to raising and training Border Collie puppies that the current puppy preschools just aren't equipped to offer. We are excited to now offer puppy 'seminars' to our members twice a year.
The Puppy Fundamentals Master Class is not intended as a replacement for regular puppy school and socialisation, it is instead an opportunity to receive breed specific information, advice and tips from people with extensive experience both in their chosen fields and also with the Border Collie breed who can answer questions and give you up-to-date and relevant information on what to expect and how to give your puppy the best opportunity to develop into a well-adjusted member of your family.
We are proud to be able to offer these events to our members as a way to not only provide value to our memberships but also align with our goals of promoting the breed and providing up-to-date, relevant information and ensure that we are supporting Border Collie owners in South Australia. The cost of each session is $30 which includes lunch and you will also receive a gift bag to take home.
Puppies between 3 - 12 months of age are welcome, and you may also attend the session without a puppy if you wish - whether the puppy is too young to attend, or you have not yet decided on, purchased or picked up your puppy and would like to benefit from this information prior to having them home.
Presenters:
Dr Veronica Bhakti is an experienced owner of multiple Border Collies, a valued club member and a veterinarian. She has a particular interest in hereditary diseases and participates with her dogs in herding, obedience and conformation (showing). Her presentation will include Border Collie health information, joint development and exercise, nutrition and general tips and advice regarding the overall wellbeing of your dog.
Megan Molloy is the owner and head trainer at Canine Interaction, a popular and well-regarded family dog training service providing accessible training and support for all, creating a bonded relationship between people and their dog by using the most humane and scientific dog training methods. Her presentation will be valuable for all interested in Border Collie puppy behaviour, learning, socialisation and fear periods, positive force-free training methods and support and advice regarding any issues people may be having or could potentially encounter. Megan has a particular interest in child and dog safety and we strongly encourage any children in the dog's household to attend the session, which will also be of particular benefit to households who regularly interact with children or intend to in the future.
The Border Collie Club of South Australia has many knowledgeable and experienced members who will be on hand to provide information, demonstrations and tips about grooming and coat maintenance from puppyhood into adulthood, including how to make the process as easy and relaxing as possible for both dog and owner. You will also receive information about the various activities and dog sports you can get involved in and the ongoing support and encouragement the Club provides to members.
