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.

Forthcoming events
We will hold a heat on 17 February 2010 to qualify for the obedience show at the Scottish Kennel Club this summer. Our judge will again be Doreen Fry, long-time P&DDTC member and obedience competitor/judge.
The heat will take place at the usual obedience training place, at 19:30. The beginners/puppy class will take place as normal, but the 2nd and 3rd classes will be devoted to the competition. Please sign up at the obedience desk, if you wish to compete!

Congratulations!
Congratulations to Karen Gourlay and Vinnie who competed at the SKC finals at Ingliston on Sunday 30 August. They finished in 3rd place, what a fantastic achievement for a young rescue dog.
Well done! If you'd like to see another photo of Vinnie, go to the photo gallery (he's in the 5th row, at the end.)
Congratulations to Sarah with Ruby for gaining 10th place in the Pre-Beginners class at our obedience show.

Good Citizen (Bronze) Test
We held our Kennel Club Good Citizen (Bronze) Test recently at Cronin Hall, Auchincruive. There was an excellent turn out with many of the dogs passing the test. Our thanks to Christine Wilson who Judged the event for us.

P&DDTC club employs motivational training methods and does not support harsh handling or use of choke chains. Handlers are encouraged to reinforce desired behaviours, rather than punish unwanted ones, using food and/or toys as a reward.
