ALL MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE:  We are on two weeks Easter holiday. There are no classes weeks commencing 2nd and 9th April.                                                HOWEVER there will be one Puppy Class on each of those weeks, Thursday 5th and Thursday 12th April for one hour from 11.00am. If you are currently within your eight weeks in any of the Puppy Foundation Courses, we would encourage you to come along.

Taking the Lead is a private companion dog training club operating at the foot of Boxhill in Dorking, Surrey. We are Kennel Club listed and the club is run by Ruth Dunning FCPDT.

.

Classes available include a Puppy Foundation Course, Puppy/Beginner and Intermediate/Adult Companion Obedience, Advanced Companion Obedience,      Kennel Club Good Citizen Courses and Heelwork to Music.                     

One-to-One Lessons in General Obedience and Handling e.g. recall and lead-walking, are available, also for Problem Solving. We offer 1-2-1 sessions at your home, also for  first-time puppy owners. 

Throughout the year we hold a variety of training days and information         evenings including Beginners Gundog Day and First Aid for Dog Owners.

We have enclosed paddocks so classes will be outside in a natural environment      whenever possible, and stock control is included in the curriculum. There is on-site car parking available.

                       Our method of training is motivational, with toys and treats,       training your  dog to          'want to learn'.
