Hiya - I'm hoping someone might have some suggestions of where to find ringcraft classes  :o( . We live on the Oxfordshire/Wiltshire border and seem to be having horrendous time finding a suitable ringcraft class. There is one about half hour from us (and it would seem the only one in a 50 mile radius!) but after a few visits we have decided it is not for us (lots of reasons but most recent event of hitting a dog on the nose with a water bottle did it for us!!) This is our first go at showing, our lovely dog is proving very excitable which makes training at home difficult as he is now getting too excited when run over.We have got the gist of what we are supposed to do, been around the shows to see how it works, but getting him to do it is another matter LoL!  He is due to his first show in 4 weeks but right about now I just feel like giving up before we have even started!!  Our breeder has been a absolute gem but she lives to far away so it is difficult to help more than give practical advise.  I really wanted to do this and our fella is lovely but we are really despondant and struggling! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks,

Is there any on this site that are near you? http://www.clubcorner.co.uk/dogs/ringcraftclubs.htm

i must live very close to you and no there isnt one very close unfortunately :-)

Thanks for the help - I asked at our vets and the nurse didn't even know what a ringcraft class was?!!  Oh well, thanks anyway :o)

Did you manage to find one?
