The Club is an approved provider of the highly respected Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme (KCGCDS). This offers you the opportunity to develop your skills to a nationally recognised standard. The Scheme is ideal for puppy course graduates and dogs of all ages and consists of a number of control and stimulation exercises set by the Kennel Club. All handlers and dogs must achieve Bronze Level before moving up to Silver and Gold Levels.
At the end of each course you will be assessed and tested on your dog handling skills by an independent KC Approved Examiner. If you've ever thought about using your dog as a therapy or assistance dog then this scheme is acknowledged as a standard of training which will be accepted by assessor groups in the UK.
Any young person working towards their DofE Award intending to record dog training as a new skill must inform me at the start of the course.
N.B. Only dogs with sound temperaments are allowed to attend the indoor venues.
Cost & Duration:
The cost to register and train for each Level is £150 and includes your KC test fee, weekly training sessions and course material. A typical course runs for an 8 week period.

From time-to-time people often need help with their dogs. It may be that you've recently taken on a rescue dog and you're not sure how s/he will behave in a group situation yet... Or maybe you've been struggling with one or two things, like socialisation, behaviour problems, recall training, separation issues or walking nicely on a lead? If so, then a 1-2-1 session can be really helpful, and it'll give you lots more confidence before joining a group training class.
By meeting up for a 1-2-1 session with Mike, the Club Trainer, he can get to know you and your dog, and you get to know him. Together you’d be able to assess your dog and focus on the things you'd like help with and you’ll be shown all sorts of techniques to motivate your dog to behave in the way you'd like. Mike often uses his dogs for help with teaching socialisation & distraction control methods.
A 1-2-1 session will take about 1.5hrs, cost £95. Ideally all adults who are responsible for your dog's care would need to be present.
