Competitions- Metro actively participates and encourages our members to compete in every discipline of Dog Sports. Currently we have members competing in Conformation, Obedience,

Rally-O, Agility, Jumping, Retrieving, Tracking, Endurance, Herding and Dancing with Dogs.

Instructors- Our club is staffed by volunteers, people who have started out in Class 1 with their first dog and have demonstrated a flair and love of teaching others. When looking for an Instructor the Training Coordinator looks for someone showing an ability to communicate, a willingness to demonstrate and, most importantly, a love of learning. Please remember all of our Instructors are volunteers and are here for the love of dogs. Please treat them with respect.

Life Members- Our Life Members are nominated by the members and it is an honour awarded to someone within the club who has been a member for over 6 years and have given continual service to the Club, above and beyond what is normally expected. We thank you.
