We hope to recommence indoor obedience classed in Autumn 2020. At present we are catching up on classes that were stopped suddenly at the end of march due to Covid 19.

We will publish dates as soon as they are confirmed, hopefully at the end of August 2020

Because of restrictions that were implemented at the end of March, we had to abandon our ongoing evening classes. We will be recommencing these classes after June 8th all going well. We envisage that the next batch of new obedience classes will be July/August but we have no confirmed date as yet.
