Dear all!
With just about 4 weeks to go until the biggest annual event in our training schedule, I just want to update you all on the order of things.
We are inviting anyone interested in learning loads more about dogs in a space of just one week while holidaying with your dog in the beautiful Kent’s countryside.
Facilities on the Camp site include – access for Caravans and plenty of space for tents, hot and cold showers and separate lockable toilets, cleaned daily, barbeque grill, marquee, tables, big open bon-fire space, café nearby that serves snacks and meals during working hours, restaurant at the Dry Ski Slope on-site (with plenty of activities to take part in), shady wooded area with plenty of space for everyone.
Camping is from Sunday 26th July, 12 noon, till 1 August, Saturday, 2 pm.
Weekly and daily packages available, so whether you wish to spend the whole week with us, or just planning to come for a day or few – we are confident that you will love the project and everything involved.
Training programme includes Guided Site Walk,
Clay Pigeon Shooting

We take a great pride in being invited to the South Mimms RSPCA Annual Dog Show for the 8th time running! Address: RSPCA Centre, Packhorse Lane, South Mimms.
This year she show is going to be bigger and even more interesting than ever before (if this is only possible) – come and see it for yourself. The date for it is Sunday 5th July 2009. Do not miss it! Many newly rehabilitated ex-rescue and ex-troublesome dogs will be performing for the owners of rescue dogs! This is the idea. Be there! This is the Good Cause event, and charity of our choice!

There are no more classes after the 9th July at our indoor School, we will resume training in September, date to be advised.

All the outdoor classes continue, and the dates for the Rehabilitation Group at the RSPCA Centre in Southridge and Mixed-Abilities socialising Class in Sunny Hill Park, Hendon, NW4 are below:
Dates for 2009:    11/7, 25/7, 8/8, 22/8, 5/9, 19/9, 3/10, 17/10, 31/10, 14/11, 28/11, 12/12    

Southridge RSPCA Animal Centre
 
                                   Dog training and socialization classes.
­­­ at the RSPCA Centre, Packhorse Lane, South Mimms.
 
Adopting a rescue dog is not always as easy or relaxing as a walk in the park!
 
Whether you are now the lucky and proud owner of a “Southridge dog”, or whether you own dog needs some training, start off on the right paw and attend our fortnightly dog training classes.
 
All sizes and ages are welcome.
 

Dear all,
For anyone that may be interested we have started a new group called 'Dog Walkers United' on Facebook, this is in response to the new proposed legislation for people who walk dogs commercially anywhere within land managed by the City of London or have a large number of own dogs. In order to ensure that we are not put out of business by a law that we can only walk 4 dogs at a time, we are trying to negotiate for a licensing scheme that will allow us to walk up to 8 dogs together providing they are under control for a nominal fee for using the parks (non commercial walkers would not have to pay).
To do this we need to be a unified group so please join us if this affects you and have your say, there is also a very coherent piece written by Simon Lee the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath on the 'Wall' explaining their position and why they feel it necessary to bring in legislation. This is a closed group so you will have to ask to join, look forward to hearing from you.

We are ordering new uniforms  for our performing team, and together with our emailing list and various promos at shows and clubs, this is a wonderful advertising opportunity for you as a business or charity to broaden your audience – after all, Good Boys go public all the time! Our mailing list reached 7000 addresses, new book is coming out soon, newspaper and media appearances might be just what you are looking for.
Please give us a call if this is of any interest to you.
