Proof Of Vax Before Starting Obedience Classes?


Recommended Posts

Do obedience clubs usually want to see proof of vax before you start?

Most obedience clubs will ask for it. However, if the obedience club holds their classes on an oval which is a public dog park/area - then it seems a bit silly wanting proof of vaccinations ....

Titre tests test the dog's immunity to some of the things that vaccinations usually cover. There is no point in vaccinating a dog if they're already immune to something. I can't remember which things it is but i'm pretty sure it's parvo, distemper, coronavirus and Lyme (though Dr Dodds think the last two aren't worth testing for).

I personally haven't had it done but I know a lot of people who have and who don't vaccinate their dogs any more.

I recently rejoined an Agility Club who had asked for proof of current vaccinations. I showed my dogs titre test results and it was accepted. As far as I know I was the first person to do that and the first time they had seen such a document. Things seem to be progressing.
