BASINGSTOKE AND DISTRICT
DOG TRAINING CLUB

Welcome to our Spring Update. We are delighted to say our Xmas Sponsored Stay raised over £237 for the Loddon School, which is the local charity we are sponsoring this year. We also ran a successful weekend training course with the trainer Lorraine Bennett in February. Best of all congratulations to Ann Fox, who was part of the Southern Obedience Team, and Denise Neale, who took part in the Kennel Club Good Citizen’s Competition. They both did exceptionally well at Crufts this year.

We have a busy Spring and Summer ahead. Aside from our usual training sessions we have The Hampshire Rally on Bank Holiday Monday, 4 May, in War Memorial Park. This is a friendly dog obedience competition between the different dog training clubs in Hampshire. It’s great fun and lasts all day. Then on Saturday 20 June we are running an Open Obedience Show again in War Memorial Park and another all day event. Do come along to either event. Everyone is welcome and it’s free to watch!

We continue to offer various training sessions including Puppy and Beginners classes, training for the Kennel Club’s Good Citizens schemes and Competitive Obedience Training. We can also help with any problems you may be encountering with your dog.  

We are a non-profit making organisation run by volunteers and we keep costs as low as possible. None of our trainers are paid for the time they give. We are the only Kennel Club registered dog club in town.

Puppy Classes cost £3 per session. Our Beginners Course costs £50 for 10 sessions. For all other classes we ask you to join our Club. Annual Joint Membership still costs £15 and Individual Membership, £10, with classes costing only £3 per session. Apart from our Beginners Courses, all our classes are “Pay as You Go”. Great Value. 

So come and join us. We run on Monday nights from 6.45pm to 10.30pm (class dependent).
