Bertie Beginner and Inters

The last 4 months has marked the best period of training and commitment I have seen for many months. Members have shown tremendous commitment to the club and more importantly to their dogs at both Oadby and Church Langton venues.

Many people find the training process difficult however for me the basic ingredients are:

to keep things simple

be confident

expect to succeed

stay silent where possible  - remember body language is also another form of communication

trust your own judgement and learn to observe your dogs body language

focus on what you are doing and less so on the dog

if you are having fun your dog will pay you more attention

practice 4 times a day and not when you are taking the dog for a walk.


We will be outdoors as of next week so please bring sun cream, parasoles, plenty to drink etc

Bertie Outdoor Training at Brockshill Country Park and Stonton Wyville

Outdoor training will commence at Brockshill next Wednesday at 7:00pm for the Beginner Class and 8:15 for the Inters. There are still places available if you wish to book. If you have concerns about the weather we will endeavour to be there every week and if the weather is only slightly inclement we will continue. Please bring waterproofs in case. There is some shelter available. The cost of the course has been reduced as has the cost of the inters.

Outdoor training will also commence at Stonton Wyville on 24th May so please hurry up and book as places are restricted.
