In February 2008 I acquired a small cross Lurcher bitch of unknown breeding aged one year old. I took her unseen, only to discover that she had been very badly treated. Through terror she trusted nobody, was untrained and hated strangers. I decided to take her on, although aged 88 years at the time, felt I could give her a chance. I have had a wealth of experience with horses and dogs.

After a year, when she became much more settled, I realised that I needed to find a dog training class to help her progress and socialise with people and dogs. I discovered an advertisement in a local shop for training classes run by West Chiltington Cavaliers. I immeadiately contacted them and started training with them in September 2008.

The Instructors are of the highest standard and have excellent rapport with both the owners and their dogs.

I have recently been awarded the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Bronze Certificate and would not have obtained it without the dedication and expertise of all concerned.
