Hi there,

I'm looking for a local training class (I'm in NETTLEBED, near Henley-on-Thames) and someone told me they'd been to good classes in Sonning Common, but couldn't remember the lady's name. Any chance anybody knows her, or any good trainers near me??

Thankyou

Have a look at the APDT website for a list of trainers using positive reinforcement near you.

Ooooohhhhh I used to live in Nettlebed and still have LOADS of family living there :D
Great woods to walk the dogs in :)

A friend of mine lives in Sonning Common. She used to go to  training classes run by
a lady called Heather. Not sure if she still runs classes or not.
Might be worth checking out the vets in Sonning Common as they have a notice board
(Morrish and Stafford) and then there's the pet shop in the village.

Wallingford Dog Training club does good obedience classes, they are held on Weds evening
at East Hagbourne Village Hall near Didcot.

Hi !
Thanks for all your replies. YES!!! HEATHER!!!!!!!! That's the name I've heard!!! Any chance you could ask your friend for her number pleeze??
Yes, Mrs Betts - can't put a face to the name, but I've heard it!! Funny, most people have never heard of Nettlebed!!
I've asked at the vet's, but they don't know her. Mr Morrish sadly retired, just leaves Mr Stafford. We go to the branch in Henley, it's a bit calmer!!
Thanks
PS Anyone heard of Jeff Walton?

Yup we are rather well known LOL :cool::rolleyes:
My family relative's frequent in Priest Close, Elms Way and Wanbourne Lane :D
My family have lived in Nettlebed for 45 years :)
I went to school at the Primary school (which they are now redeveloping the site).
I remembered the time that they had a break out from the HMYO prison and we as kids
saw the escapee's shin over the walled garden in our lunch break:eek:

The lady Heather, her full name is Heather Watson and she wrote her own book called
Take the Lead (I have a copy). I'm not sure if she moved, she used to have a Great Dane.
I'll find out from my friend and see if she knows.

I used to use Morrish and Stafford. I moved just as they were revamping the Sonning Common branch.
My favourite was Lori there but sadly she went back home. She was ace :)

I have sent you a PM with Heather's contact details :)

If no luck with these let me know and I'll see what else I can find out.

Kind Regards
Kirstine
