Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ page). Below, we have tried to answer the most common questions visitors to this our Web site may have. If you find that your question is not answered on this page, please email us at info@braintreedogtraining.org.uk


How old does my dog have to be?
Your dog can attend at any age as long as it is fully vaccinated before enrollment.

Does my dog need vaccinations?
Yes - all dogs must be fully vaccinated. We will need to see vaccination certificates before your dog can partake in classes. Please ask your vet for further advice about vaccinations.

How much does it cost?
We charge an annual (human) membership of £5.00 single/£7.50 joint and then a further fee of £1.50 to £2.00 a week (per dog) depending on which class you attend. The first classes for younger dogs last 30 mins and are £1.50 and the later classes for older dogs last 40 mins and are charged at £2.00.

How long does a course last?
We do not have courses that run for a certain period of time, we run classes every week, for as long as you wish to partake, whether that be 10 weeks or 10 years!

Do you have a waiting list?
We sometimes have a waiting list but we endeavour to get you started in a class as soon as possible. When you come to enroll you will be advised as to whether there is currently a waiting time and how long that would be.

Do I have to have a pedigree dog to join?
No you do not.
Pedigrees, Mutts, Mongrels, Crosses - They’re all welcome.

I’m a member - what happens if I miss a class?
We ask that you call the club, using the phone number given when you joined, to let your instructor know if you are going to be absent on any club night. If you fail to do so you will be charged the usual class rate for the night you miss. Please bear in mind - club rules state that if you miss THREE weeks without contacting us you will automatically forfeit your place in the class and will be returned to the waiting list.
N.B. You must phone and NOT email

Can I come along to have a look?
Please do - follow the directions given on the ‘Contact Us’ page of this website and come and have a look. (And, yes...you can bring your dog too!)

I want to start training, how do I join?
What we ask is if you could come along on a Tuesday evening, around 8pm, with your dog to have a chat and enroll. It will be advised as to which class is suitable for your dog.
You will come along to watch for around three weeks before you start actual training so you & your dog can get used to the surroundings and familiarise yourself with the training methods used.
You'll be able to have a chat and ask any questions you may have.
Your dog must be fully vaccinated and you would need to bring proof of this with you when you come to join.
