​

The club premises are in the centre of Wymington and surrounded by family houses, and it is important that we do not cause any offence to the local people with barking dogs or by failing to keep the area clean. Exercising dogs on the local green area is not allowed.

​

We hope both you and your four-legged friend have fun and enjoy training. A happy sociable, well-behaved pet is a joy to own and it is the aim of the club to help every owner who comes to achieve this aim.
