Tru Borders Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hi All I recently got 2 new beautiful Border Collies, Nacho and Frankie! They are just over 12 weeks old and are pretty amazing, even if I do say so myself ;) Still waiting on 3rd Vacc which is on the 27th, but of course a week or so after that im looking to start socialising them and was wondering if there are any groups on the Gold Coast, Collie or other, that get together for socialising, training etc? Im hoping to get some agility training under my belt as they get a little older to so any info on sports etc on the Goldie would be awesome! Thanks all and Merry Christmas!

Kajirin Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Vets usually hold puppy classes, so puppies of the same age/vaccination level can interact with each other and they also do the starts to basic obedience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Noishe! I didnt want to waste too much time at puppy preschool, only because Ive had dogs before and already have these 2 learning basic obedience. Guess im wanting to join more "interests in common" groups, but thanks for the options! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess im wanting to join more "interests in common" groups, but thanks for the options! Puppy preschool isn't just about obedience, it's about socialisation in a controlled setting as well. I train working dogs and have had heaps and heaps of puppies pass through my hands to get started and trained or just raised and I always take them to puppy preschool because it teaches them to interact with other dogs properly.

Guest Ams Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Dogs Qld would be able to put you in contact with the Dances with Dogs people. Their website doesn't have contact details that I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agility Dogs Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It would also be worth talking to the guys at WAAG. (Wild About Agility Gold Coast) They are an ADAA affiliated club who focus on agility. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Rumour~ Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 When the pups are older you could also give Dock Diving a go at Gold Coast Dock Dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Borders Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 When the pups are older you could also give Dock Diving a go at Gold Coast Dock Dogs I saw the Dock Dogs at the GC Pet Expo a few months back and it was amazing! Def will look into that, thank you so much Rumour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Not sure which end of the Gold Coast you're in, ot how far you're willing to drive, but you might check out VIP Dog Club ..Yatala I think. And not sure what classes All Paws Paradise at Pimpama operates ..be worth checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
