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.
Sunday 16th August
CHANGE OF TRAINING FIELD
Please be aware that due to a large 4x4 event happening at the farm on Sunday we will be using fields to the left of the first entrance gate (from the road).
As you come in off the road there is a large turn in with gravel, opposite the bungalow that is on the right, PLEASE PARK HERE.
If you have two dogs there will be limited parking in the field under the hedge, however it is limited so will be reserved for the committee and those with two or more dogs only.
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.
