  1. Hi caninecoach and Zhara I posted the above on another topic listed. I know where you're coming from it is time consuming and like those attending clubs to learn those that put their hands up to teach also want time with their own dogs. Its the same in most clubs though - always the same few doing the work
  2. Sadly only negative reports seemed to be viewed about clubs. I have belonged to several over the years and like everyone else met the good :p , the bad and the ugly instructors but I've also met some fantastic ones along the way. Most clubs are run by volunteers who have perhaps trained several of their dogs and that's the limit of their own dog training abilities and occasionally you get lucky and there will be one or two instructors who do have the talent and or qualifications. The truth is as always 'you get what you pay for' if you really want value for money in training your dog its better to seek out a really well qualified private trainer and pay that money for quality education. ;) Once you know what you're doing and have good control of the dog then go join the dog clubs and have fun and share your knowledge. The clubs at the end of the day do provide a great deal to the doggy community by offering some level of education, activities such as agility and obedience competition. Plus I think we all have to give credit that running a club is work intensive and none of these people are paid.
  3. Hi everyone I came with Bilby to the workshop. What a informative day that was and Steve did a very good job despite the constant rain. That man not only has lots of information to share but also a great sense of humor Thanks to those that organized the weekend, to Bilby for inviting me and to Steve for all his knowledge. I hope Sunday was more enjoyable for you all and really do wish I could have been there.
