Is there anyone who can help me find a local one to me?  I live near Preston.  Would be willing to go to Chorley, Preston, etc.  I've heard on the grapevine that there's one in Chorley but I can't find any details.  My local dog training class in Hoghton just looked at me blankly when I asked them!!! Help!

If you contact the Kennel Club they might well be able to help you.

Ask at the local council offices. The club would need to be registered with them. Or if there is a local show soon go along and ask the committee ;)

You could try this list. I didn't see any in Chorley but I don't know the area so there might be one close enough. Have you called teh secretary of your local breed club. If their ringcraft classes aren't close enough they might be able to direct you to a class in your area. You could also try your dog's breeder, that's how I found the class I go to.

Wigan & District Canine Society hold two training classes at two different venues. One in Wigan (not far from M58) and one just off J23 M6. Have a look at their site.

Heywood & Radcliffe hold a very good ringcraft class on a Monday night, its at Bolton though, dont suppose that far for you , just off motorway!
