Remember, there are kennels available for use at the back of the hall. BLUE RIBBON POLICY The Southland Dog Training Club has a Blue Ribbon Policy. If your dog does not enjoy the attention of other dogs or people, please tie a blue ribbon to its collar. The ribbon will identify your dog as needing a large personal space. It does NOT mean that your dog is aggressive. If you are the owner or handler of a very friendly dog, please respect other people and dogs and do not let your dog invade the personal space of any dog or person without invitation. Blue ribbons are available from any committee member REMEMBER! To toilet your dog BEFORE coming into the club building. If your dog messes inside it is YOUR responsibility to clean it up!
