We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Walkies and Waggietails to provide private outdoor dog training in the Walled Garden and Cherry Orchard.

Launching on Saturday 12 March, these dog training courses will be held in our two-acre private and secure Walled Garden and Cherry Orchard. The training is designed to help improve your dog’s behaviour for more enjoyable dog walks in the park. Walkies and Waggietails are offering 10% discount for our Members.

Walkies and Waggietails provide the highest standards in behavioural science. Founder Paula O’Sullivan is a fully qualified clinical canine behaviourist and advanced level trainer, and her team are fully accredited Kennel Club trainers. The training courses aim to improve recall, appropriate play and lead walking skills.

Initially they will be running two five-week courses ‘Walkies in the Park’ and ‘Dog Parkour Fusion – Foundation Course’. Future courses include ‘Dog Parkour Fusion Adventure’, ‘UK Sniffer Dog’, ‘Kennel Club Good Citizen’ and private one-to-one training programmes.
