This week is National Volunteer Week. A week to give thanks and show appreciation for all volunteers. Croydon Dog Club is a volunteer run club. Without them we would not exist. So today we say a massive THANK YOU to every single one of our volunteers! We currently have over 60 amazing volunteers who help run our club every week. From the admin team in the office and behind the emails, to the bbq volunteers who keep our stomachs going on a cold morning. To the committee who keep us running, to the shop manager who keeps our dogs’ stomachs going on those same cold mornings. Our lastly, our instructors. We would not be who we are without these amazing people who are out teaching you every week come rain, hail or shine. So thank you to all our volunteers, whether you have been with us months, years or decades. Thank you for giving up your weekends, sacrificing family time, adding to your work load and standing in the rain.

One final note, National Volunteer Week is also about inviting people to have a go at volunteering. So if you would like to help our club in any capacity, even if you are unsure of how you could help then please get in touch. We love volunteers!

Will your dog be 12 weeks old or younger on this date (born after 18/02/2024)? Your dog is only eligible for our Pre-School Class (for puppies aged 8-12 weeks of age). You can visit our website for more information on this class, but please be aware that preschool books out 4-6 weeks in advance (ie we are unlikely to be able to book in a pup who is 8-12 weeks old today).

If your dog has previous obedience training and you would like to be assessed to determine whether your dog can proceed to Basic Obedience Two or post-B2 disciplines such as agility, rally, advanced obedience and flyball, please email our Chief Instructor at [email protected].
