Ringcraft is very useful even for dogs who are never shown,it can be used to get a dog used to being handled by strangers,loads of people think it's only relevant to showing and it's not,it can be very useful,xxxxxxxxxxxx

more advaced obed 7.30 or 7.45 depending on numbers, im lucky the show folk are mates so they dont mind being last this means we can cover any problems in depth meaning we dont have a set time to end, we stop when the trainings done,,, seen me there up to 10.45 some nights lol.

it all depends on the amount of dogs going through the place but it seems to work for us, the more advanced obed will come in when the pet stuff is on so help out with that, x
Now that sounds like the sort of training club I would enjoy

Now just need to work out how to teleport!

Our training club does the following on a Tuesday evening

Puppy class (from 10/12 wks old) covering KC Puppy Foundation course

Beginners (any age after puppies) basic 10 week course of obedience

Improvers (any age) general pet obedience, assessments every 10 weeks, working towards KC Good Citizen if wanted

Intermediate (any age) must have passed Improvers Assessment to get here general pet obedience/competition obedience, assessments every 10 weeks, working towards KC Good Citizen if wanted

Advanced Basic and Advanced Higher Must have passed Intermediate Assessment to get here mostly competition style obedience and a bit of ringcraft

All the obedience covers on and off lead work, sits, stays, recalls, heelwork, leaves, hold and retrieves, socialisation, handling by others/vets, and in the advanced class, distance control, scent etc

The club I go to runs agility classes as well as obedience which is brilliant because it cheers the dogs up no end to be able to dash about jumping stuff as well as doing heelwork etc. What I would love, though is to also be able to do working dog stuff as well - scentwork etc. The more advanced dogs do this occasionally, but I would love to see my dog doing using her nose as well!
