My little Monty will soon be old enough to go out so I thought that I'd look around to see what's out there in the way of training classes.

Inspired by Zephyr's fantastic achievement :cheers: with the Good Citizen Dog Scheme run by the Kennel Club I sent them an email asking for info on local clubs

They sent me an email back with loads of clubs on, but I don't understand what some of it means :wacko:

for example, there is a BAGSD in my area, and its a Branch

there is Dog Training Club, and its a Registered Club

thre is a K9 Training School, and it is Listed Status

there's also one that is Local Authority

I could phone them all and ask, but thought I'd ask you lot first cos you are all so clever :- "

Can anyone recommend a good place to start when looking at training classes, I'm in Hertfordshire

thanks! :thumbsup:

I would guess BAGSD is 'British Association for German Shepherd Dogs'. Not sure what the other things mean.

Personally I would go for a trainer who is an APDT member, as they are likely to use modern reward-based training methods. There is a list of trainers by region here

APDT

There is also some good general advice on that site on how to choose a good training class.
