Training this Saturday.

My first training classes are starting this Saturday at Union Farm at 10.30am.

I'm looking for volunteers to bring along some of the rescue dogs so socialise them and give them a bit of training. If anyone is interested in giving the rescue dogs a bit of training then give me a buzz on 07912 376024. Its free of charge for the rescues.

Anyone interested in bringing their own dogs are welcome too. Its a 6 week course for £30 and will give you a great opportunity to bond with and socialise your dogs. I'll cover things like walking to heel, stays, recall, socialisation and anything else the class would like to cover. Its held in an enclosed run so its all secure.

Hope to hear from some volunteers soon.

Re: Training this Saturday.

Fiona I cant commit to a sat morning right now but potentially would be interested in the future in giving it a shot with Bambi - I do hope Im not hearing any sniggering from the cheap seats at that idea!!lol She has become so much better with other animals and at (sometimes) listening to my ideas that I just wonder if this could be a useful next step for her? Also would be nice to try it at a venue where I know that if it doesnt work out theres not gonna be any anti-greyhound judgements made cos of my mouthy girl!!So would be really interested in hearing of future classes if you would consider letting the ex "fiend of the kennels" give it a shot!!! x

Hi Fiona

I have left a message on your voicemail. We would be interested in bringing our rescue greyhound Ace on Saturday. We got him from Celia and Jimmy at the end of july.

Hi Joan

Would be really good for Bambi as you says she's come a long way and to be introduced to other dogs in a controlled way would be an excellent next step.

At the moment its just a Saturday morning but hopefully we be running more classes soon. So I'll keep you up to date. If you want to come when you can then thats fine.

Re: Training this Saturday.

Hi Fiona,
I'd like to bring Bryn along - he's a bit like Bambi only by stealth as he doesn't give you any warning! He has also come on by leaps and bounds and he(and I)could do with progressing in a controlled environment. He's already quite obedient and attended dog training with his previous owners.
I can't make this w/e as my mum is ill and staying with me just now but we'll catch up when we can, if that's OK?

Hi Marion,

You're welcome to join us next weekend. Can you call me on 07912 376024 before you come just so we can have a chat about Bryn before you come along so we can ensure we have the correct environment for him.

Look forward to seeing you and Bryn when you can make it.

Re: Training this Saturday.

Thats fab Fiona Ill listen out for news of ur classes and bring Bambi to a suitable one - lookin forward to it!!

Re: Training this Saturday.

Hi all

It seems there's been a bit of confusion regarding my original post. The rescue dogs who are currently looking for a home and in kennels can come to training for free.

Otherwise the training is £30 for 6 weeks for your own dogs to come along.

Sorry for any confusion.

Re: Training this Saturday.

Hi Fiona

Thanks for the first training session this morning. We all enjoyed it and found it really useful.

See you next week

Karen and Pat Brundell and Ace!!

Re: Training this Saturday.

Hi Karen, Pat and Ace

I'm really glad you all enjoyed it. Ace is a smasher, a proper gent and a typical laid back greyhound.

Look forward to seeing you next week. Hopefully the weather holds out!!
