Boot Camp is nearly here!
 
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
Treasure Hunt in woods on-site,
Sea-side trip with dog swimming session,
Heelwork-to-Music workshop and demo by  Louise Ince & Sarah
Introduction to Competitive Obedience with Jenny Harknett, KCAI (Cd. Ob.) and   Fran Godfrey
Session with the behaviourist Amber Batson on Stress in dogs, How dogs learn, Dominance in dogs and Aggression, and many more including a questions / answers time
Good Citizen Dog Scheme Testing – all levels, by Chris Bloomfield and Sue Evans
Nose work / search play-type workshop
Agility and “Dog-Olympics” on-site
Daily Handfeeding and obedience classes to organise yours’ and your dog’s reliable communication skills with Dima Yeremenko.
Barbeques, Take-Away meals, Visits to Restaurants and bars,
And (you have to believe me here) – all this with your dogs accompanying you everywhere!
(Dima’s still working on more things to do as it is his job to keep everyone busy at the Camp)
This is it for now – the fee for the week is £270 with a daily charge of £45 applied to shorter term campers. Please ask us about whatever questions you might have.
We have a small-ish caravan (sleeps 3) available or you to hire, but towing will have to be organised by you, and also a list of local B&Bs and Hotels if you are not the “Camping” type… But I am sure you will want to stay on-site once you have seen how we set everything up there… This is the reason so many people bring their dogs to us over and over again… I love it myself so much, that if not the amount of work going into it every time, I would probably run Camps like this all year round…
