Obedience

Summer Holidays

There will be no obedience training for 4 weeks from Wed 28 July until Wed 18 August - we will be back on Wed 25 August.

*****************

Training takes place at:
The Apiary Building , SAC Auchincruive, KA6 5HW
(The Scottish Agricultural College) on Wednesday evenings.

• Puppies up to 1 year old
  6.30 to 7.00pm

• Puppies over 1 year, beginners and rescue dogs
  7.00 to 7.30pm

• Intermediate
  7.30 to 8.30pm

• Advanced
  8.30 to 9.30pm

Our first class is open to puppies and dogs of any age – the first night at the club is free of charge and allows you to see first-hand what the training is all about.

An annual membership fee is then paid (Single £12, Family £15, Senior Citizen £6, Junior £6) and a weekly fee of £2.00 is paid for each training session. (Seniors and Juniors pay a weekly fee of just £1.00.) Our classes are ongoing and are not done over a set period of weeks so this allows you to stay with us a long as you feel you and your puppy or dog need.

We also have a second and third class the same evening which will give you the opportunity of more advanced training and will cover everything you need to know to ensure a happy obedient dog.
