BARK FOR LIFE

Pooches pound pavement for Cancer COUncil

The special love and care that only a canine best friend can provide will be celebrated at

Bark For Life, an Australian-first fundraising event where dogs and their human pals can

team up to support Cancer Council Victoria.

Bark For Life is the first fundraising event in the country that honours the caring qualities of dogs during a

cancer experience. The daytime event is an offshoot of the popular Relay For Life and will be held for the first

time at Jells Park in Wheelers Hill on Sunday 11th October, 2015.

Canines aren't just for cuddles. Research shows that not only do dogs provide companionship for those with

cancer but they can also lower their owner's blood pressure, decrease stress and anxiety, improve their owner's

mood, increase their levels of activity and act as a social magnet - all of which can aid in cancer treatment and

recovery.

At today's event launch Cancer Council Victoria Fundraising Director Andrew Buchanan said: "Dog owners

know their best friends are there no matter what happens. Bark For Life is a chance for all of us to give thanks

to the four-legged supporters who are there for the almost 30,000 Victorians diagnosed with cancer each year,

while raising vital funds for cancer research, prevention and support.

"I'd encourage dog lovers from across Victoria to gather the pack, and start barking back against cancer at this

unique event."

Bark For Life is an exciting new initiative of

Cancer Council Victoria to celebrate the

relationship between cancer survivors and their

dogs. The inaugural Australian Bark For Life will

bring together dogs and their human companions

to raise vital funds to support Cancer Council

Victoria. Each dollar raised through Bark For Life

will help fund research, prevention programs and

support services for those affected by a cancer

diagnosis.

The special dog themed Relay will be a shorter

version of the popular overnight Relay For Life

event so dogs and their owners can enjoy a walk

whilst celebrating cancer survivors and

remembering loved ones lost.

The inspirational and empowering experience will

take place at Jells Park South in Wheelers Hill on

Sunday 11th

October.

Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Lisa Westphal was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007, and her Staffy-cross Spike kept her

company throughout her treatment. "When I was having a bad day, just the simple act of patting Spike helped

me stay positive. During six months of treatment my husband and kids would go to work and school leaving me

home - but I was never really alone as Spike would always be there to keep me company."

Spike also played a significant role in Lisa's recovery, and helped her on the way to becoming cancer-free. "As

my strength built up, he was a great excuse to go to the park for short walks and over time I built up my energy

with longer walks," she said. Lisa is now fully recovered, and manages the Relay for Life program at Cancer

Council Victoria.

Getting involved in Bark For Life is easy. People can register online, get fundraising and gather together on

October 11 to complete a walk to honour cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost and celebrate the caring

qualities of dogs during a cancer experience.

The event will also feature dog activities, dress up contests, team and community fundraising activities, music

and food.

54Election of ordinary members

(1) A single election may be held to fill all of those positions.

(2) If the number of members nominated for the remaining positions of ordinary committee

member is less than or equal to the number to be elected, the Chairperson of the meeting

must declare each of those members to be elected to the position.

(3) If the number of members nominated exceeds the number to be elected, a ballot may be

held in accordance with rule 55 if so required by a majority of the members present.

Alternatively voting will be by a show of hands.

On Sunday 4 October NODC is holding an individual testing day for club members instead of normal classes. This is your chance to take part in a competition and hopefully get that class promotion. As usual there will be a free BBQ but also an opportunity for members to obtain Paw Casts of their dogs from the firm Paint a Pot. Castings start from $25

Annual General Meeting

The Club’s Constitution requires that an Annual General Meeting be held within 5 months of the end of

the club’s financial year. This year the NODC financial year ends on 30 September 2015.

To comply with this requirement the club will hold its AGM on Sunday 29 November 2015.

Members often do not appreciate the need to attend these meetings however in order to hold a valid

meeting a quorum of 5% of members entitled to vote is required.

The main business of the AGM concerns the election of the next Committee which consists of the

following:

The Committee consists of Office Bearers—

(a) a President; and

(b) a Vice-President; and

(c) a Secretary; and

(d) a Treasurer; and

(e) ordinary members up to a maximum of 10.

(The four Office Bearers of the Committee must be financial members of the Victorian

Canine Association Incorporated. Committee members must have each been a

voting member of NODC for 3 months prior to election.)

The Constitution can be read on the NODC web page however for those who are interested

S52 provides that during a period commencing two months prior to the

AGM and ending one week prior to the AGM an eligible person may

nominate for a position on the Committee.

Should the number of nominations be less than the maximum allowed those nominated

will be deemed elected. Other vacant positions may be filled at the AGM in

accordance with S 54 which details the voting procedure.

As the nomination period will commence at the end of September 2015 members who are

interested in nominating should ensure that their membership is financial at the time of

the AGM.

Membership renewal is due on 1 October 2015 and, although the club allows a 3 month

grace period for renewal, members must be financial to nominate for the Committee and

also to vote at the AGM.

Committee members play an important part in running the club on behalf of the members

and people are needed to take office bearer roles such as President, Secretary and

Treasurer as well as general roles arranging social events and dog competition events.

At that point I have to zip my mouth, after all it's not my dog and I don't know the details, but I start asking myself why would a dog not come back to the KEEPER OF THE TREAT BOX, the BELLY SCRATCHER, the EVERY

DAY SANTA who has squeaky toys in at least 3 pockets, the FUN MACHINE?

Let's go back to basics and see if a step got missed out which might help. If you start from the premise that dogs love to play and sniff their “p-Mail”, and in their experience, these wonderful activities stop when they return when called, then it is not difficult to understand why a dog is not happy to return.

However if my handler only touches my collar or puts my lead on for 3 seconds and then takes it off and tells me to go play again, that's all OK! This simple trick should be done the moment a puppy takes their place in your home. Sit down somewhere quiet where you can control the environment with toys or another dog and tell the dog to go play, then call your dog back to you and reward him/her. This can involve food treats, a special toy, or you rolling around on the floor making silly noises ready to tickle returning pup. Who said owning a dog wasn't dignified?

If you have a dog which can be a little wilful or you are uncertain how far away to let them go, perhaps a long lead can be used to keep control whilst allowing freedom to build up the distance. Remember the hairball on the end of the line is not a fish to be reeled in. The aim is you are the FUN FACTORY and the dog wants to

come to you.

Continue this call back activity throughout the dogs’ active life to reinforce that you are the best thing since sliced bread or mobile phones.

A few things to remember with the COME command. Use it sparingly as it can lose its power if continually repeated and avoid chasing your dog if they disobey the

command, as you would just be creating a great fun game. Try to avoid using it in association with something the dog dislikes like grooming or you leaving it in isolation. And never use it when you are angry!

There are many reasons why an owner is uncomfortable letting their dog off lead in a safe area... “My dog was attacked once”; “my dog doesn't like other dogs”, are just the tip of the iceberg, but many of these are solvable with assistance and patience.

Read and feel free to ask questions... and enjoy the best recall every day, when your dog rushes to greet you when you come home.

Glyn Burnup THE RUNAWAY DOG

Looks like Spring is on the way and so it's more fun to be out and about with the pooch. Hope PAWS for THOUGHT is helping with the odd problem.

It is surprising how many people won't let their dog off lead in a lead free

area and give the following reasons ........ My dog won't come back or it will run away.

Robert’s job is done on a voluntary basis and is time and labour intensive. It also means

that he always has to be present whenever the club is open.

HELP NEEDED

It is essential therefore that members help where appropriate with setting up the puppy

agility equipment and after class by loading it back into the trailer. Buckets of water also

need to be filled, taken out and returned. Any volunteers please speak to Robert.

AROUND THE CLUB

ROBERT LONEY – GROUNDS MANAGER
