KODTC Titles for 2016, presented at the Fun Day, December 2nd

Instructor's Award for the 2016 Training Season

Each year our instructor's get together and have a think about which teams of dog and handler are working really well together. It is very prestigious to be awarded an Instructor's Award, the award recognises the development of a special relationship between dog and person. Congratulations to all of our club members who are recognised with an award for their work in 2016.

Best Female Handler: Caitlin Cicerkovski and Lola, a Bull Arab Cross.

Best Male Handler: Bruce Groundwater and Bronson, a Labrador Retriever Cross.

Encouragement Awards:

Rohan Richardson and Choccy, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Thomas Spencer-King and Tilly, an Australian Kelpie Cross Koolie

Most Improved Dog Award: Jaclyn Gilbert and Taco, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross German Shepherd.

Rather than list the rest of the awards for 2016 under the dog activity categories, it is probably easier to list them under the Handler/s.
