Seaford & District Dog Training Club was formed 48 years ago and has been in continual existence ever since.  No mean feat when you consider that all the people down the years, who have run the club and trained the owners and their dogs, have been volunteers.  At present we have a keen band of dog lovers keeping the club going including our President, Moira MacMillan, a retired vet, and various committee members, almost all of whom train their dogs at the club.

We are focused on helping people to train their dogs in simple obedience. Affiliated to the Kennel Club we run their courses; Puppy; Bronze; Silver and Gold awards.

Such was the enthusiasm of some of our members that we have had to institute a final class which is for those dogs who having passed their gold test could not bear the thought of not coming down every week to meet up with all their friends, the same goes for the owners!

The Puppy and Bronze courses are fixed at 13 weeks but the Silver and Gold courses are of no fixed time scale and the trainers arrange a test when they consider they have enough dogs who are capable of passing. Our methods are based on rewards and praise.

As well as our training evenings we have a monthly walk in the forest for those who wish to come plus a summer barbeque and a Christmas party, with a fancy dress contest for the dogs. Our trainers are there to help and advise and we have experienced most problems and sorted out most of them. 

From January 2008 training classes will now be held in the Scout Hut at the Salts.

To cover the costs of running the club we charge £2 per lesson plus £7 yearly subs for membership of the club. There is a big demand for the Bronze level courses, of which we run two one at 6.20 and another at 7p.m. so any interested owners should contact the Secretary and put their names down on the waiting list for the next available course.
