A
BIG Welcome!
Sevenoaks
& District Dog Training Society welcomes all breeds of dog including crossbreeds,
as well as all ages of handler. Within our Society we have the experience
and knowledge to offer an efficient service, not only to the general public wanting to learn basic obedience
skills but also to the more experienced handlers keen to try their hand
at competition work in both agility and obedience.
Our
Training Methods
We
as a club believe that training should be fun for both the dog and owner.
As such, our method of training is predominantly reward based - the correct
use of playtoys and tidbits. This is the method which we, as a club employ
at all levels of our training from beginner to advanced, simply because
it is fun and it works.

Our
Instructors
Our
instructors give their time and experience for free. Any profit the club
makes goes into club funds to pay for training equipment and instructor training which ultimately
benefits our members. For example the club purchased a video camera for
use at training sessions and shows to enable handlers to watch and learn.
We also have an extensive set of agility equipment for use in training.
Our instructors are also encouraged to attend seminars, lectures and courses
to help further their dog training knowledge - the club has an Instructor
Training budget set aside for this.
Our
instructing team is made up of nine experienced and enthusiastic members:
