Courses held throughout the year at HOLE FARM, CACKLE STREET, NUTLEY, nr uckfield EAST SUSSEX
The courses are 8 week duration and most of the time run back to back. They are run in a indoor riding school which has a sand floor. In the summer months ( weather permitting! ) we go outside into a grass paddock/field. We welcome all breeds (and crossbreeds) of all ages including rescue dogs. Puppies are accepted from 12 weeks onwards providing they have been fully vaccinated. Classes are kept to small sizes, usually to 5-10 dogs/handlers to each group. If there is a higher demand then we allow 2 instructors for a larger class (of up to 16 dogs/handlers maximum). This ensures some individual attention for each dog and handler. Training consists of both correction and reward using methods appropriate to the individual dog. Rewards consist of mainly titbits, sometimes toys, and praise. The most popular form of reward is food, particularly meat. We usually use sliced hotdogs. Temperament is a major consideration and a variety of methods are employed to ensure the best results. There can only be one handler per dog per course. This is to ensure continuity for both the dog and other members of the class. The person who handles the dog should be the pack leader. If the dog has not yet recognised one person as being the pack leader then the training will establish the handler as the pack leader. Spectators are only permitted if they are family members of a class member and do not distract the class. Children are welcome to attend as either handlers or spectators providing they are old enough (and big enough!) to manage their dog or to watch quietly. If you wish to bring a spectator please check with us first. Previewing of classes is not permitted, training only. PLEASE SEE APPLICATION FORM FOR FULL DETAILS. If you are interested in any of the courses then download an application form complete it and send it to the address shown together with your cheque. Our courses are usually full a week beforehand so early applications are advisable. Due to a limited number of spaces available on each course we can only accept those who have completed and returned their forms and money beforehand. Do NOT just turn up! Alternatively fill in the form and E-Mail it to mailto:sussexdogtraining@f2s.com with the cheque to follow. I will confirm receipt of forms and cheques by email/telephone. If you have not had your place confirmed then please call to check I have received your application before the course starts. Please try to book at least 10 days in advance to avoid disappointment, ie before the 28TH FEBRUARY 2010, as I can only guarantee places to those who have returned their application forms and money beforehand, subject to availability of course. Priority is given to those who are already training with us and then it is done on a first come, first served basis. Generally Beginners and Intermediates will be run from 7pm - 8pm and Advanced from 8pm - 9pm, but this can vary depending on demand. We may cancel a course if there are not enough handlers/dogs to make it viable. Although most courses are run as 8 consecutive weeks this is not always the case, please check if this may be a concern.
