Help! classes in the west mids/staffordshire

Does anyone know of any good classes in the west mids/ staffordshire area? We want to get our dogs socialised to make walkies considerably less stressfull. I have e-mailed a local class but recieved no reply

We do know of a class that deals with greyhounds only but would like to go to a mixed group as cant see the point of introducing them to other greyhounds! After all they have spent the first 4 yrs of their life seeing pretty much only greyhounds!

Hope someone can help.
Thanks for reading xx

There is a monthly walk by greyhound rescue in the West Mids area, other dogs also attend but I would think socializing them with all breeds including greyhounds would be the way to go.

When you say mkae walks less stressful what makes them stressful?

Have a friend who goes to a training class in the Brownhills/Cannock area I'll phone her tonight, know she's out at a swimming do today & pm you their details. Or there is a group who meet in Lichfield but they have been having venue problems I'll send you a number you can phone to ask about things though.. Sorry the other groups I know in that area are GSD only.

Karen ,

Just find walks a bit stressful as when we go to the park they growl or bark at other dogs.
Just worried about other dogs approaching us. Paris is'nt too bad but Phil snaps.
Its got to the stage now where i dont take them in the park if i can see off lead dogs. Time to get them socialised i think.
