Vca Associate Dog Registration

[Kowai]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to fill out the form to register my dog as an associate dog with the VCA, however the form asks for a registration number and I'm not sure what thats referring to. All it says is that that number is preceded by the letters "AR" which signifies Associate Register.

If someone could tell me what this means I'd really appreciate it

That should be for office use I think. Your dogs rego will go AR1234. AR obviously stands for Associate Register

Thats what I was thinking.. But I wish that they had've put next to it "For office use only" or something!

I can just see it now.. Ms Laura Hall's Associate Thisis Sparta CCD.... *daydream* It's the dream to get a title one day..

Watch your dreams!. At the beginning of this year, i was out tracking with my young dog, and my old dog (13 1/2 year lab) kicked up a stink. So I thought well, you old sod, I will give you a track. He did a very complicated track very well. I had stopped tracking him some time ago due to my very poor health, and had retired him. I laughingly said to my wife "wouldn't it be funny if he gets Tch? if any dog deserves it he does, he was really awesome". Well, he got track 3 4 5 in a row, had a slight hiccup and is now going for his Tch this weekend. Along the way I had a day with three pass cards when my poodle got TD in a day after a track on, and he got track three. Judges started saying nice things about my handling instead of slagging it and I learnt to relax tracking. I was so relaxed that when we did our first Tch track, he was having a slight munch at the start, i couldn't have cared less, because I had full confidence that he woud find the track. He has never missed so why worry now? I hope it spills on to obedience.

BTW he really perked up with the tracking and attention too.

Nice!

I'm still a novice.. I'm only just now sort of coming up to trialling level and it's my dream to atleast get the first level of titles! If I got anything more than that I'd be so happy!

There are 2 forms, 1 to register yourself and 1 to register your dog.

The one to register your dog has "registered number" but just leave it blank. There is also a section to enter your membership number, but if you have not registered yourself just leave that blank also.

Try and send both forms in together and the VCA will sort it out.

If you need to other form to register yourself please let me know and I will give it to you on Saturday if you are entered in the funday.

Cheers

Thanks but I've already registered myself online So I'm now a VCA member!

Whats it like transitioning from club style training to trailing style training within the Werribee obedience club? How much help do you get in learning to trial?

Great, just leave the registered number blank then.

Trial style training at Werribee is great. This is where you start to get very one on one and picked on for all of the things you are doing wrong and you get many hints and advise on what to do.

I will PM you.
