What
do we offer?
The
club has a very active Obedience section. We offer all levels of training
from our Puppy Socialisation Courses and Basic Obedience Training Courses,
which are available to the general public, right through to competition
level training for members.
Whilst
we do like to encourage anyone interested in ultimately competing in outside
obedience shows, we welcome all members whatever their intentions
or potential.
Our
policy as a dog training club is to first and foremost offer a service
to the general public and their dogs. Dog ownership is all about responsibility,
not only to society but to your dog too. A well behaved, well trained
dog is a pleasure to have around and a welcome member of society. Our
basic training course is structured to achieve this in time and with a
certain amount of effort on behalf of the owners.
If
after attending our Puppy Socialisation
Course and / or
Basic Training Obedience Course you feel you would like to go on further
with your obedience training we can offer this too.
A
full list of our classes and courses are as follows:
Puppy
Socialisation
Course - |
a
five week course covering all aspects of puppy socialisation including
a visit from a veterinary nurse from Elands Veterinary Clinic.
Courses
run on a Monday morning.

Basic
Obedience Training
Course - |
a
seven week course covering all the basic dog training techniques.
Courses offered on a Monday morning and Thursday evening.
|
'Stepping
Stones' Course- |
this
follows on from the Basic Obedience Training Course.
It primarily works towards the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Bronze Award. However it also builds on the techniques learnt during the Basic Obedience Course as well as dealing with any specific training problems course members encounter.
It also acts as a 'stepping stone' onto the more challenging
obedience techniques encountered should handlers wish to continue further with their dog training.

| Intermediate
Class - |
this
class starts to introduce and build on some of the more advanced obedience
techniques with competition work in mind.
|
| Advanced
Class - |
this
class is made up of those who intend to compete or those who would
just like to achieve the most from their dog, offering him / her a
challenge and a real chance to recognise his / her potential.
