Ralph & Maria Orlandowill speak about Trial Awards and the
different levels of Competition.
OCOD now has a top notch Training Center but with that comes growing
pains. We hope that our members will bear with us while we undergo
some of the changers that need to take place, such as the pricing of our
classes and class scheduling. It is hard to please everyone but we are
trying to be fair for all club members and be able to meet our expenses.
Our prices are still much lower than other clubs and the big box stores.
I would like to thank all those that have worked so hard not only getting
the smaller unit ready and the work they put in and are still doing to get
our new unit ready. We have classes six days a week scheduled, both
day and night classes. Our Puppy, Basic, Intermediate and Dance
classes will remain 7 week classes. Most all others will be scheduled by
the month.
It won’t be long until our Obedience and Rally trials, which will be held at
the Fairgrounds this year but after that, we plan to have them at our
training center, maybe smaller ones throughout the year. .
The proposed Standing Rule changes are on the next 3 pages, please
look them over because we will be voting on them at the April meeting.
I hope you have a great month
and I’ll see you at the meeting,
