Location

Classes are held at the Trinity Gardens Primary School, at the corner of Portrush Road and Devitt Avenue, Trinity Gardens, on the rear oval. There is ample parking on either side of the oval, with offstreet parking via Devitt Avenue.

Times

Classes are conducted on Monday evenings from 7.30pm, February-November inclusive, except public holidays.

Training is cancelled when;

• it is raining steadily or is stormy at 6pm, or
• the temperature is at least 32°C on the Channel 10 weather report at 5.50pm.

Bookings

To ensure that you and your canine companion receive adequate attention, our class sizes are small - only 6-8 dogs. Therefore you will need to register your interest in joining CBS Inc as there is only a limited intake of dogs each month. Please allow up to two weeks for us to mail out the relevant paperwork to you and for it to be returned to us. Our Head Instructor will then contact you with your class details.

For the benefit of your learning we ask that dogs do not attend the first (induction) class.

Fees

An annual fee of $60 applies in 2008.

Vaccinations

Your dog must be fully vaccinated against canine distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus and a vaccination certificate must be shown when you enrol.

Equipment

All dogs must be on a lead no greater than 1.2 metres in length. We recommend brushed polyester webbing or similar for your comfort, preferably with a loop at the handler end for added security.

Your dog may wear either a flat (buckle) collar, a martingale (also known as a limited slip collar), a head halter, or a harness.

Choke/correction chains, prong collars and electronic (shock) collars are not permitted.
