BRIEF
HISTORY
Around 1975, a few dog owners from the
Redlands, Manly and Wynnum areas who attended the Wednesday night classes
held by the Obedience Dog Club of Brisbane at Stones Corner, began
thinking about forming a club of their own in the Redlands
district.
There was a fairly large dog population, so surely there
must be enough people who cared enough to have a well-behaved, socialised
dog and to build a better relationship.
After many months of
searching, an agreement was reached with the Soccer Club which had a lease
on grounds at the old dump site at Capalaba. Towards the end of
1976, under the control of the ODCB, the first obedience training classes
were held.
At a meeting in February 1977 it was decided that a new
Club be formed called the Redlands All Breed Dog Obedience Club and so our
Club was born. The ODCB gave a generous donation of trailer, 3 jumps
(bar, broad & high) and $200 stock (choker chains and leads) to help
get the Club underway.
The first trial held by the Club took place
on February 18, 1978 on the training grounds at Capalaba and was very
successful.
Since these humble beginnings, Redlands Dog Obedience
Club Inc has grown from strength to strength to become the great Club we
have today.
