The Newbury and District Dog Training Society started in 1962 as a non-profit making organisation.  It is Kennel Club registered and insured.  As an established and experienced club, it is dedicated to the traditional approach to dog training, using encouragement and rewards.

In addition to running regular training classes, the society organises the Newbury and District Open Obedience Show.  The society is also involved in a number of dog welfare issues and has a wealth of experience with re-homed or rescue dogs.

The main instructors are Joan and Roy Hammersley.  Joan has trained and competed dogs from Beginner Class up to Class C.  While Roy has over 50 years experience in training dogs and judges at the Class C.  They live at Inkpen with their family of dogs.

We are proud to be sponsors and hosts of The England Dog Obedience Team World Cup Trials and Selection 2006, 2007 & 2008.
