Obedience Training Classes
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 our dogs 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 Courses
This is a four week course covering all aspects of puppy socialisation including a visit from a veterinary nurse from Elands Veterinary Clinic. We take pups as soon as they have had their first innoculation up to 12 weeks.
Courses run on a Monday morning from 11am.
Basic Obedience Training Courses
These are seven week courses covering all the basic dog training techniques. Courses offered on a Monday morning and Thursday evening.
Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Bronze Award Courses
This course 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.
Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Silver Award Courses
This course follows on from the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award course.
Further Obedience Training
The club does offer further training for those people who enjoy their training or perhaps wish to go on to competition obedience as well as progressing to Gold in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme awards. These classes are currently full.
