Our courses
General
Classes run on Monday evenings at the Kiln, St Georges Rd, Badshot Lea, Farnham GU9 9LY. The next term is Monday 9th September to Monday 18th November (10 weeks, no classes on 28th October for school holidays) at a cost of £80. All sessions are indoors and there will be 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
Puppies
