Looking for puppy/dog class in Aberdeenshire
« on: August 31, 2014, 04:23:03 PM »
My working cocker is 7 months old now and even though he has never been to any puppy classes, is very well socialised and already knows various commands and tricks. Even though he is doing well without it I really would love to take him to some sort of class. My only problem is I don't drive so can't get to the ones I've found.

Does anyone know of any type of classes that I would be able to get to without a car near Turriff in Aberdeenshire?

We took Milly, our show cocker, to one or two classes around Aberdeen but, to be honest, weren't too impressed.
 
I've had our worker, Chaz, back to his breeder, a gamekeeper out Deeside, several times for training but he's so much off the beaten track that access would be nearly impossible without a car, or 4x4 if it's been raining  :005:.

I haven't heard of any classes in the Turrif area but you could maybe check with your vet or breeder, if he's locally bred, to see if there's anything suitable local to you.

Sheryl, a well respected member of COL, lives closer to you than I do and may well know of someone in the area. I'm sure she wouldn't mind you getting in touch by PM to find out if she has any information.

I would recommend Billie Machell. Her classes are in Whiterashes though. Wonderful lady and worth the journey.

Ah, yes. Whiterashes community hall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and easy to get to by bus from Turriff.
