Activity Weekends
Our Activity Weekends cater for all individuals from those who struggle to get their dog to sit to those who have been running up and down the agility A-Frame for years. Our experienced trainers are on hand at all times to cover all levels of experience and help you get the best from your dog. Our weekends are a great way to have fun with your dog and meet other young people with similar interests.
