Fair Weather Dog Training Club

Welcome to Obedience training in Oxfordshire

Turn your dog from this: in to this

Would you like to have a dog that is a pleasure to live with? Is your dog out of control? We are here to help. We can teach you how to walk your dog on a loose lead, come back when called, etc. using kind, positive reinforcement methods only.

Training takes place:

Every Thursday evening from 6:45 pm to 9 pm in Arncott Village Hall, Arncott, near Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Thursday evening classes at Arncott

Training consists of socialising your dog with people and dogs, walking on a loose lead, coming to you when called, to be able to sit, lie down and stand when told to, to stay put in the sit, down and stand positions. We teach you Clicker Training which is a very powerful, motivating and kind way to train your dog. We also desensitise the dogs to thunder and fireworks. As the dogs progress we introduce other new things e.g. heel work to music, scent discrimination, send away, retrieve an article, etc. and generally have fun. All courses run for 10 weeks. There are three different classes:

The Puppy Foundation Assessment class. This is for puppies from as soon as they can socialise with other dogs to those aged less than 5 months. The class starts at 6:45pm and ends at 7:30pm. We help you to teach your puppy to come when called, socialise with other dogs and people, sit, stand and down positions, walk on a loose lead and basic stay command. There are no tests in this course and at the end of the course and provided the Trainer is sure that your dog has reached the appropriate standard laid down by the Kennel Club, your dog will get a Kennel Club Good Citizen certificate and a rosette.
The Bronze class is for dogs over 5 months of age. The starting time for this class is 7:30pm, it finishes at 8:15pm. In this class we teach basic obedience, how to sit, stand, go down, stay, walk on a loose lead, etc. At the end of the course, dogs are tested by an approved Kennel Club Judgefor the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award.
The Intermediate class for those dogs who have all ready passed the KC Bronze Award. In this class we build up on that learnt in the Bronze class. They learn to walk off the lead, do a 2 minute down stay with 30 seconds out of sight of the handler, how to retrieve, distance control, send away, etc. Starting time for this class is 8:15pm, it finishes at 9:00pm. At the end of the course, dogs are tested for either the Silver or Gold Kennel Club Good Citizen Award.
