Our clubs have been running for a number of years, Hastingwood DTC from 1992, being the longest, and Little Heath DTC from 2000.
We train basic pet obedience, starting from puppy up to advanced, and we support the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Schemes, Puppy Foundation through to Gold.
Details of each test requirements can be found on the Kennel Club website. For the older dogs, during the summer months, we introduce a bit of agility when we can train outside, weather permitting.
The trainer is Kathy Woodger. Lyn Cook is still very much involved with the clubs behind the scenes, but due to her health she has stepped down as a trainer, but she still runs GSD Rescue, details below.
