Membership

We welcome new members and their dogs to join us for training on Sunday mornings. Before joining a class, all new members must enrol with the club.

Annual subscription £60.00 (Junior £40.00). Renewable Annually on 1st November.  There is no weekly fees and you can attend as many club activities as you are eligible for.  Payment is by cheque or cash only.

How to Join

If you would like to become a member, please visit us on a Sunday morning between 10:00am and 10:15am.

You can enrol on any Sunday before the beginning of a course. You are also welcome to sit with your dog on the benches and allow them to become familiar with the club environment before their training begins. This can be particularly beneficial for puppies.

Please bring your dog with you when enrolling, but do not bring them onto the training field until your enrolment has been completed.

We do not accept membership or Puppy Class reservations by telephone or email.

Dogs imported from another country must have been resident in the UK for at least six months before they can be accepted into our training classes.

What to Bring

For enrolment and training, please bring:

  • Your dog’s vaccination certificate
  • Your dog’s microchip number, which will be checked against your dog
  • A normal collar or half-check collar and suitable lead
  • Poo bags
  • Treats and/or a favourite toy to use during training

Please do not use extending/expander leads or chain-type leads during training.

Membership payments are currently accepted by cash or cheque only.

Junior Members

Junior members must be at least 13 years old when training a small dog and 16 years old when training a larger dog.

Each application is considered individually. For the safety and wellbeing of everyone attending, the club reserves the right to refuse or withdraw membership if we feel that the class environment is not suitable for a child and their dog.

Training at the Club

The person registered as the club member is the person who must train the dog while on the club premises.

If you bring a child with you who is not participating in the training, they must be accompanied by an adult family member on the benches while classes are taking place.

Sunday classes run from 10:30am until 12:00 noon, with a coffee break from approximately 11:00am to 11:30am.

Please note that dogs are not permitted inside the club hut during the tea/coffee break.

Puppy Classes

Our Puppy Foundation Course is available for puppies aged between 3 and 10 months.

Places in the Puppy Class are limited and tend to fill very quickly. We therefore recommend visiting the club to enrol as soon as your puppy has completed the vaccinations required to attend.

We are unable to reserve Puppy Class places by telephone or email.

For upcoming course dates and further information, please see our News page.
