It’s “Back to School” time for doggos!! 🐶 😃

RVO Club’s fall session of obedience classes starts next week, with a new 6-week long format. Contact the club with any questions! 🐾

Our four obedience classes will begin the week of October 6th at the Marysville Heritage Centre. They will run for 6 weeks and cost $125.

We are offering two Foundations classes at 7pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, an Advanced Manners class at 8:15pm on Mondays, and a Precision Performance class at 8:15pm on Tuesdays. The Foundations and Advanced Manners classes are recommended for all teams, whereas the Precision Performance class is geared towards teams primarily interested in competing in Obedience.

Our Foundation class size has been reduced to allow for my individual attention but we still have space for more students. There are also spots still available in our other classes.

To register, please contact [email protected]. Registration is online this year so you'll be sent a link to our questionnaire and asked to include a scan of your dog's vaccination record.

Etransfers may be sent to [email protected].

‼️ A heads-up for those who feed Farmina.

I don’t know if Canada will continue to receive product made in Italy, or if distributors will source from the US. Ask your retail supplier, and make sure you watch for any changes in packaging, “formulation” and ingredient lists.
