Our classes are run every Saturday afternoon at Pinelands Primary School. We welcome all shapes, sizes and breeds of dogs including mixed breeds. Why not pop down to the club and see what we have to offer? We are there rain or shine! Classes are never cancelled due to bad weather. We have a fabulous team of trainers who are all volunteers.
