Show Secretary: Lisa Tremblay, 5592 Maebelle Road, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 8R2 Phone: 250-720-5585 Email: ltremblay67@me.com With no Dog Show in 2020 due to COVID-19 we were pleased to come back with our 56th Championship Dog Show, Oct. 15-17th, 2021. We had more dogs than in previous years and a great turn out of “COVID puppies”. We moved the dog grooming outside to make more room inside Glenwood Centre for physical distancing. We had our challenges with outdoor tents, power and lots of rain. We thank exhibitors for their patience and their help to make it work.

More information & photos will be added, as they become available.
Argos will be 4 years old in August 2019, but today he passed the exam/evaluation by the BC Guide & Service Dog Division of the Justice Institute to become a Service Dog for Tasha Lee.
Tasha got Argos as a puppy and started with Basic Obedience Training. Argos showed potential to become a Service Dog and Tasha researched the requirements of taking on such a task.
It is not just teaching your dog to sit, down, stay, come, etc. There are over 40 skills they must master to become a service dog. It takes a lot of time and patience. Tasha persevered through the training despite struggling with her health issues.
Argos now “officially” works for Tasha to aid her in her day-to-day tasks.
When you see them in the community, please keep your distance. As much as everyone loves to acknowledge and pet a well behaved dog, Argos has a job to do and he can not do his job if he is distracted. (Tasha will thank you for your understanding.)
Congratulations on this milestone event!

Once again, mark your calendar for our annual Obedience & Rally trials. For members of AIOC – Association of Island Obedience Clubs (Vancouver Island kennel clubs).
It was held Sunday July 14th in Coombs at the Arrowsmith Activity Hall.
Campbell River Dog Fanciers & Alberni Valley Kennel Club shared the task of hosting this event.
Here are a few of the ribbon winners. Congratulations to everyone!
We are very proud to offer our Basic Obedience Training over the past 3+ years. Just in 2018 we trained 106 dogs which is 26% more dogs than previous year.
Primarily young dogs, but we have had many older dogs take the class with success.
Our instructor, Synneva Stubbs has lots of experience with all sorts of dogs. As a Certified Canine Behaviour Specialist, Synneva has the patience and knowledge to help you with any struggles you may have with training your dog.
We have added training for advanced obedience skills. We can now prepare you for taking your dog to Novice Obedience &/or Novice Rally trials. We can also prepare you for the Canine Good Neighbour test which comprises of 12 obedience exercises to demonstrate good canine manners.
Every dog has their own successes. We have had several dogs go on to earn their Canine Good Neighbour Certificate as well as titles in Novice Rally.
We are proud to support service dogs and their acceptance in the community. We assist a couple handlers that have “Service dogs in Training” with their on going training needs. Shout out to Argos & Ladybug!
If you have a dog and looking for some training that is fun for you and your dog, please contact us.
Ladybug has qualified in a couple Rally trials and earned her Canine Good Neighbour Certificate.
