Cheyne Canine Concepts was founded in 1996 by Don Blackwell from Benfleet, Essex with the idea of catering for all types of pet dog training under one umbrella. This includes, pet dog obedience classes, one to one help, advice and training, agility. Sadly, Don passed away suddenly in August 2002 and didn't live to see his dream come true, but his ideals and theories are being continued within the
organisation safe in the knowledge that the training methods and experience given to them by Don will stand them in good stead to make the organisation a unique and outstanding success. The club was originally formed in 1988 to cater for problem dogs which other clubs had rejected as being too boisterous, too aggressive or just too difficult to handle. Don was a firm believer that by working a dog, it's behavioural problems could be channeled with good effect; be that aggression, boisterousness or timidity. We never turn away a dog and handler that is desperate for help. The club is situated on 6 acres of land so there is plenty of room for all. and 1.00 p.m. regardless of the weather. There are a variety of obedience classes from complete beginner, including puppies; through to advanced, and we have mixed ability agility training available, weather permitting.
