WELCOME TO DARCY'S DIARY

This means that FINALLY, we will be starting agility training for pet dog handlers shortly. Dates and times will be posted on our FB and TW pages and on the website soon.
Check out the days photos on our facebook page.
We look forward to seeing lots of you along and have a go.

Dogs really do enjoy learning and will continuously learn many new things throughout their lives. Training is simply teaching your dog good manners, which in turn gives them the necessary mental and physical stimulation needed and of course helps to keep you sane! You’ll be astonished by not just how much they can pick up, but also by the fact that it was you that taught them!
Classes are restricted to a maximum of 6 dogs per class to ensure more 1-2-1 time with your trainer.
This course will take place at our Bromley School on College Road and is run over 4 weeks. Contact us for more details.
To reserve your pups place on this course, simply fill in our booking form.
We look forward to seeing you there and making lots of new four-legged friends.

Our next social walks are scheduled for Saturday 4th May at Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve.
Puppy/ Small dog walk - 10:30am / Adult walk - 11:30am.
Group social walks are great fun for both you and your dog. This very simple activity serves to increase your dog’s confidence and opens the door for many new and challenging experiences in the safe surroundings of a pack. A fully qualified dog trainer and behaviourist will be on-hand throughout to answer any questions.
Walks normally last 1 hour and take place twice a month.
The adult walks are open to all dogs over the age over 6 months. Our puppy/small dog walk is ideal if you have a small dog that is a little tentative around larger dogs or if you have a young playful pup under 6 months.
If you are new to our walks and would like to come along, please fill in our booking form and we will send you through all the details.
Contact us if you would like to speak with one of our trainers.
We look forward to meeting you there.

All dogs in England are to be microchipped in a bid to make tracing their owners easier under government plans announced today. Ministers also said the law would also be extended to cover dog attacks on private property, offering protection to postal workers and others who make calls at people’s homes.
