These courses follow on from the Basic Obedience Training Course and are run at various times throughout the year.
The Awards have been devised in order that dog owners/handlers who come to take part in the courses can demonstrate they have achieved a certain level of training.
We operate three levels – Foundation, Progress and Jubilee. Each level aims to offer a natural progression to maintain interest and enthusiasm for both dog and handler
FOUNDATION LEVEL
This is offered to those dogs and handlers who have completed a Basic Obedience Training Course with us.
These courses are held about 3 times a year at Brasted Village Hall, Kent on a Wednesday evening from 7.10pm – 7.55pm. The course is 6 weeks in duration. The courses cost £70.00 and is limited to a maximum of 5 handlers and dogs.
All successful dogs and handlers will be awarded a certificate and rosette at the end of the course!

JUBILEE LEVEL
This is offered to those dogs and handlers who successfully pass the Progress level.
The exercises taught on these courses require more advanced training and commitment to practice from the handler and take a little longer to achieve. These are therefore held about once a year and the fees are £70 for a block of 7 sessions which are ongoing until all class members are ready to take their test! Again the courses are limited to 5 dogs and handlers.
All successful dogs and handlers will be awarded a certificate and rosette at the end of the course!

Each level aims to offer a natural progression to maintain interest and enthusiasm for both dog and handler and to enable them to work together as a team, as they move through each level
