Welcome to Obedience Training.
At Warlingham Dog Training Club, we believe a trained dog is a happy dog (and a happy owner!). We offer a range of reward-based classes, ranging from puppy classes, for basic socialisation and key commands, to competitive obedience for those dogs needing a real challenge. We are primarily a ‘pet’ dog club and our classes cover the basics, such as teaching your dog to walk sensibly and safely on the lead, to sit, lie down, stay in one place and, most importantly of all, come back when called.
We encourage our members to bring along food treats or toys to motivate their dogs; we do not endorse the use of choke chains or punitive methods. There is a maximum of eight dogs in each class and all of our trainers are experienced teachers and handlers with years of dog owning and training under their belts.
At the present time, we run two puppy classes; the classes work toward the Kennel Club Puppy Foundation Award and cover the basics of dog ownership whilst allowing your puppy to socialise and learn some basic commands. For those wanting to progress further, we hold classes that enable you to work towards the Bronze, Silver and Gold Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards.
Our classes are open to everyone – first time dog owners, seasoned handlers and everyone in between. We welcome all types of dogs, including rescue dogs.
