Local pooches once again win top honours

The South Canterbury Dog Training Club are the"top dogs" of the South for the second year running.

The club barked authority on their canine companions from Timaru to Invercargill at the weekend, successfully defending their title at the Zone 5 Mini Assembly in Dunedin.

Last year the South Canterbury team won the overall inter-club competition by finishing first in the obedience section and second in the agility section.(...)

Mrs Wakefield said each week the group trained specifically for agility and obedience and attended the domestic training classes at Gleniti Park on Thursday nights.
