🐶 Exciting news for you Portsmouth pups! 🐶

By popular demand, we are now running Silver/Gold Skills classes for dogs that have graduated our Bronze Skills classes (or who have already passed their Kennel Club assessment). This is a 6x 1hr class course*, starting 8pm Wednesday 12th November 2025, at Milton Village Hall.

In these classes, you will continue learning and finessing the skills for your Bronze assessments, whilst developing the more advanced training skills of the dog and handler required for the higher levels. The Silver and Gold Skills are a natural progression from the skills learned in the Bronze Award and introduces new concepts that are important for everyday life.

Both the Silver and Gold schemes are aimed at all dogs whether Kennel Club registered or not, and there is no age limit.

PLEASE NOTE: These advanced classes and we will only accept dogs that have already completed our Bronze Skills class or who have been awarded a Bronze/Silver Award Certificate.

If you are interested in taking part, please do not hesitate to book as we have already had lots of interest and places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Here is the link if you'd like to book: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17605081&appointmentType=81023824

As ever, let me know if you have any questions and I am looking forward to seeing plenty of returning faces! 🐶🐶
