Our waiting list is open for new members. Please email [email protected] to be added to the list. Our aim in classes is socialising your dog with some control work as well as some fun and agility.

Due to the restricted numbers we can accommodate we prioritise applications from puppies and young dogs.

If you are not intending to return for the new term please let us know as it'll help us find spaces in the classes for new starts

Term Fees are:

Juniors (16 and under) and Seniors (over 60) £30
Single Membership £35
Joint or Family Membership £40

Please remember that only paid up members are insured so it is important that your fees are paid promptly.

Hi everyone

The ongoing kennel cough outbreak means that there will also be no dog
training next Tuesday, 5 March. We apologise that you are all missing
out on training but feel it's necessary to reduce the risk of infecting
more dogs.

Classes will resume on Tuesday 12 March. Hope you've all been practicing
at home!

Remember the 26 March is our AGM at 7pm and we hope you will all attend.

21/02/2019

Hi everyone

We have been advised by both Veterinary Surgeries in Helensburgh to
cancel dog training classes for at least a week due to the bad outbreak
of Kennel Cough in the area.

Therefore we will be closed on Tuesday 26 February. We expect to reopen
the following week.

Good evening everyone! We'll be taking in some new members tonight, looking forward to meeting you all!

The waiting list is still closed to new names at present; if you'd like us to contact you when it reopens please contact Anne at [email protected]

Everyone who's already on the waiting list and haven't yet been offered a place, Anne will be in touch as soon as there's a space available for you. It's a small hall so we're limited in how many people we can bring in at once, but we'll try and find space as soon as possible
