Pre-registration is now open for Oriole’s Obedience run-through to be held on Sunday, February 11 at the Oriole Dog Training Club. For your convenience there is a handy online entry form on the Run-through Information page.

Not sure if you’re coming?  That’s ok – we do take day of match entries (but there’s a slight discount if you pre-register).
