no probs Alice!!!
Hope you find a nice class soon!!!

Haha, me too!

Hi there! Just to echo Ailsa (Ramble), FastTrack are superb, I can't recommend them enough! Helen and Lynn are lovely, extremely sensible, but approachable too, and Bongo just loved the classes - what more can I say?!

Where are you anyway? We're in Crosby, and I can readily say that it was worth the trip each week. At a pinch you could get the bus from the city centre, but it would be worth getting a lift the first time at least to get your bearings. I lived nearby up till about a year ago and I wouldn't recommend getting lost in Toxteth on a dark night!

They do a 4-week socialisation class, which I guess your baby is a bit grown-up for, and they do a great 8-week basic obedience class. Some of it might be revision for you, but they'll adapt things for you so there's always something to learn, and they're really good at improving your communication with your dog.

They don't do agility there, unfortunately. I'd like to do some agility with the Bonger myself, but I guess I'm going to have to learn to drive first, rather than expecting my poor husband to play the chauffeur!

ps. I've looked into West Lancs, and quite apart from the money I don't much like what I've heard about them...

duboing, we're in Southport, Birkdale to be exact I'd be interested to know what you've hear about West Lancs, maybe you could PM me? On another forum, not a dog one but the local town ones, I asked the same question and was told that West Lancs was the only place to go, despite the price.

Hi i know of two good trainers in the Southport Area

one is Maureen who has a class on a Wednesday night at Greaves Hall Sports Club Banks and the Other is Sam who does agility on a thursday night at halsall asmall livery stables, asmall lane, halsall.

my dog just loves going to both these places

Seconded. I'd be happy to go there myself and I don't say that very often

Helen is great. Lovely lady, great sense of humour and an excellent dog trainer.

I am a regular at Sam's agility The crazy blue merle collie! Haha luckily I found them after I made this thead a long time ago.

Hi

You must be in a higher class than me, i am still in the beginners with Max a little Jack Russell who only wants to play with all dogs

She is,but don't ever tell her I said that.....
