We meet here on selected Saturdays throughout the year for training, walks and a chance for all the dogs to be off lead with each other under strict supervision. Thanks to the generosity of the land owner, we have facilities for tea and coffee - and often stop for a nice break half way to allow everyone to get the chance to chat over the week's events. Why not come along and see what we do?

Here we are lucky enough to have over 50 acres to use and explore and this means plenty of room for pack walks, recall training and teaching our dogs something new like search and rescue or agility and flyball.
