If you can't train it yourself you shouldn't own it

Bet you wouldn't say that if it was a lizard.

At least they are trying, it could be their first time of having a dog and they want to get it right.

That's a bit harsh isn't it Marg ? They may not necessarily want to go for the training aspect ! they may want to attend so the Pup can learn social interaction with other Dogs & not try to bite & attack them ! Something that some people in this World could do with, looking at some of the creatures roaming the streets nowadays. A little forethought perhaps ?

I think they should be applauded for thinking about getting professional training

Send Gayle a PM and ask her for the contact details for the dog training that is done in Hippings Vale Community Centre in Oswaldtwistle. I know she will have the details.

I suspect you are being a bit of a female Canine over that, stop it now or I'll make up something about you, that you will be too proud to deny.

So say's the man that has long been remembered for eating so many beans at school during Dinner Time, he got to be known as skid row velveteeny!

(His mum always worried about the effect of San Izal on his poor little Bot, Bot, so she always sacrificed her sanny for him).

Let me know when I should start on someone else, I reckon there are years of material left with you!

Thanks for volunteering.

Ironic as someone for a dog training school came into the shop, so grabbed some details as someone asked.

Eew yes Neil, forgot about that. Is this it then ?

Hyndburn Stray Dogs In Need

Does say Monday nights, but last time I was in there was a Tuesday, and they were in then.

They were all very well trained, lovely dogs and all the owners seemed very enthusiastic.

Unfortunately Hyndburn Stray Dogs no longer meet at Hippings Vale Community Centre on a monday. I don't know if they meet anywhere else but I don't think so, I think funding for the sessions ran out.

The ones that meet on a Tuesday night are Accrington Cannine Club, they're more about training show dogs rather than simply getting a dog to behave.

Did wonder Gayle, all these dogs were pedigree on Tuesday night. Did you see that Great Dane ? Sure it was a horse in disguise..

Why don't people close down their page on the website if not available. Perhaps the best thing would be to contact the dog warden ??
