Senior Social Club

45 minutes @ £15.00

Is your dog a golden oldie who'd enjoy pottering in our field with some like-minded friends? Join our Senior Social Club for a gentle hour in the field - or the barn if it's cold and wet - for sniffing, mooching, gentle play, and with one of our training team on hand to answer any questions or lead some training if you want it.

Junior Choice Club

45 minutes @ £15.00

Do you have a young dog who is shy around other dogs, and would benefit from some controlled interactions with other dogs? With lots of space, your youngster will choose whether or not to interact, and we'll be on hand to ensure it's positive experiences all round. This is not suitable for dogs who are aggressive towards other dogs - see our Sociability Group instead - but is aimed at younger dogs who need to boost their positive experiences with fellow canines. Calm older dogs will also be in the group.
