Our courses
General
Classes run on Monday evenings at the Kiln, St Georges Rd, Badshot Lea, Farnham GU9 9LY. The next term is from Monday 6th January 2025 to Monday 17th March (10 weeks, no classes on 17th February for school holidays) at a cost of £80. All sessions are indoors and we plan for a maximum of 8 spaces in each class. We ask that only one handler works the dog at a time although we welcome a second handler (members only) to observe the class from the stage. Overall we aim to ensure your dog becomes a happy, reliable companion that is a pleasure to live with. We do not teach obedience to competition standards.
For those that are not already members of the Farnham Dog Training Society please note that in addition to the course fee each handler is required to pay the £5 annual society membership fee (January to December) for insurance purposes. If you intend to swap handlers at any point in the course (planned or unplanned!), both handlers must have paid their £5 membership in order to be covered by the club's insurance.
We insist that dogs have completed their first full vaccination programme at least 2 weeks before joining. On the first night you will need to bring with you:
Your dog’s vaccination record
Poo bags
Small treats
Commencing on 6th January 2025 we plan to offer three ten week Monday evening classes.
6pm - these 45 minute sessions will be aimed at younger puppies covering the Kennel Club Puppy Foundation Scheme.
7pm - these one hour sessions will offer the opportunity to take the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze assessment at the end of the course.
No previous experience is required, and all our courses allow puppies and dogs to progress at their own pace. Dogs must be at least 14 weeks old and handlers 16 years old at the start of the sessions. Where possible we will invite the youngest puppies to join the 6pm session.
8pm - this one hour class will also offer the Kennel Club Good Citizen Silver and Gold assessment.
Sessions will run on Mondays from 6th January until 17th March (no session on 17th February - Half Term).
