IMPORTANT NEWS
Please keep an eye on this page as there can sometimes be last minute notices especially if we need to cancel a session at short notice, if we have had a lot of rain for instance. If the weather looks dodgy it is always worth checking this page before setting out.
Thank You for Everything
We'd like to express our heartfelt thanks to Peter Gribble our Vice Chairman for his many years of dedicated service on the committee. His time, help and support have meant so much to the club, and his contribution will be remembered with great appreciation.
As he steps down from the role, we want him to know that we're thinking of him and wishing him all the very best. Thank you for everything—you'll be greatly missed.
Christmas Get Together

Please save the date—we look forward to seeing you there!
CHANGE OF TRAINING FIELD
Please note we are using the original training fields from Sunday 11th October
Training
We have a lot of people contact us wishing to join us with their dogs, we have a list of these potential new members and will be inviting you all to join us on a first come first served bases. Please wait until we contact you and don't just turn up as we have a limited number of trainers and we try to control class sizes as much as we can to ensure you get the attention you need.
There are lots of things that you can do before your turn comes which will help you to get off to a flying start when you come to your first training class. Things like sit, stay and come can be achieved in the smallest space (even indoors if necessary) and, if you don't overdo it, it is never to soon to start your puppy on the basics. Just try simple commands two or three times, don't get cross if the dog fails, be consistent with your commands and give loads of praise or a small treat when they get it right. You will be surprised how quickly a young dog gets it.
