BEGINNERS is for dogs that are eight (8) months old and have not completed the KC Puppy Foundation training course.

NOTE: the first session (1 of 9) is an induction talk. It is highly recommended not to bring your dog.

Please have a look at the FAQ section of this course before emailing your questions, as the answer may be there and save you time. If you do email us, please do it from the Cademy system and please be patient with us as we are a non-profit organisation and are staffed by volunteers, we will do our best to process it asap.

We are excited to offer a 9-week mainstream training workshop to NDTC members.

At the end of the 9-week workshop, the member has the opportunity to take the Kennel
Club Good Citizen Bronze/Silver/Gold Award Assessment, with an invited Kennel Club registered assessor.

Each week the group will cover some of the elements of the workshop.

At the beginning of each week's session, there will be a recap on the previous week’s content to see how the practice at home went and any questions and queries.

Each workshop will have a group of 6 handlers (and dogs) with one instructor.
Payment is taken when booking the class, and each workshop will run for at least 30 minutes.

The workshops are normally run at the following times:
Wednesday: BEGINNERS 19:15hrs BRONZE 19:15hrs, SILVER 20:00hrs, GOLD 20:00hrs
Sunday: BEGINNERS 10:00hrs, BRONZE 10:00hrs, BRONZE 11:00hrs, SILVER 11:00hrs, GOLD 11:00hrs

We are not able to accept dogs with serious behavioural problems. Owners of such dogs are
recommended to contact a dog trainer/behaviourist for one-to-one assessment/training before coming to the club environment, please talk to us, and we will recommend one.
