Archived News:- New Puppy classes in Southsea Waggy Tail's Instructor Francesca Willis is starting a new term of puppy classes at St Swithun's Church Hall, Southsea on Tuesdays. For more information please contact Francesca directly at Fra.Willis22@gmail.com New Training Centre! We will move to our new training centre during September. The new premises are situated in a former agricultural building that has been especially converted for our use and is over three times larger than the Waterlooville centre. Wallops Wood, Sheardley Ln, Droxford, Southampton, Hampshire SO32 3QY, Coming from Hambledon towards Droxford turn right at the cross roads into Sheardley Lane. You will soon come to the buildings of Wallops Wood Farm, continue to the last buildings where there is space for six or seven cars to park. If there are no parking spaces available there should be plenty of room in the main car park that you would have passed. Walk down the track, Waggy Tails is situated in the middle one of the larger grey buildings.
Return to Buriton! After a year using temporary venues the Thursday evening classes will return to Buriton on 2nd April! Thank you to Rake and Milland Village Halls for accommodating us while the works have been carried out at Buriton.
Temporary move to Milland on Thursday evenings We had hoped to return to Buriton for the new year, especially as Rake Village Hall was no longer available on thursday evenings. However the works are still a few weeks away from completion, so we are temporarily moving to Milland Valley Memorial Hall. Class times etc. remain unchanged. The post code for Satnav is GU30 7NA Flood Damage at Buriton ** Januray 2015 - The work is progressing and should be completed with the next couple of months ** Further Update October 2014 - The hall has finally dried out and works commenced to refurbish the damaged areas. We will be returning to Buriton early in 2015. ** Update 24/4/2014 - Buriton Hall will be out of action until July at the earliest. However we plan to start the summer term on Buriton Rec at the end of May, at which point the many people on the waiting list can join us. Please check back for confirmation of dates and venues. From 25th February Buriton Village Hall has been forced to close for approximately six weeks for repairs to be carried out following a couple of floods suffered over the winter. Our Thursday classes will be held at Rake Village Hall on a temporary basis during this period.
Agility for Fun!! Exciting new class at Waterlooville. Small class sizes working on basic agility (jumps, tunnels and weaves) with the emphasis on the dogs and handlers having fun together! This class is held at 6pm on wednesday evenings, with an addition class starting on mondays soon.
The Waggy Tails Canine Training and Activity Centre is now open. This will give us a base to hold our workshops, one to one training sessions and various other dog training activities. The hall has a mirrored wall and lots of training resources to hand. The hall is also available to hire at £15 per hour, please email for more details. As of Arpil 2013 we will be based in a new Unit, which has twice the training area! See here for more details soon. Summer Term:- General Training with Tony Regular exercises as per the Good Citizen Scheme. Taking place on the field, giving some dogs the chance to train in a new, more distracting environment. This group is open to all levels and hopefully will lead into Good Citizen tests later in the summer. This group will primarily take place on the field although may share the hall with the tricks group (numbers permitting) in bad weather.
Basic Agility with Claudine Working outside on the basic control needed to do agility, and having a go at weaving, jumping and tunnel exercises. The aim will be to set up mini courses and competitions as the weeks progress. The group is open to all ages and abilities, although the younger dogs may not be able to do the full jumps. This group will take place on the field and will be cancelled in bad weather.
Tricks and Heelwork to Music with Jane Teach your dog all sorts of clever and spectacular tricks and moves. There is no limit to what dogs can be taught, so this group is open to all levels of experience. This group will primarily be held in the hall so will be unaffected by bad weather.
Recall and Whistle Training with Sandy Working through a syllabus devised by a top American trainer, this course will help develop the best possible recall through strengthening the dog and handler’s relationship and building an instinctive reaction to the whistle. This group will be held on the field and will take place in all weathers!
These classes will be held at 8pm each Thursday at Buriton - £5 per dog per week.
