Two acres Β· St Cross South Elmham, Harleston

The Dog Club.

Weekly group training on our own two-acre paddock. Saturday runs as the Norfolk & Suffolk IGP Club β€” and you are welcome whether you are doing IGP or not. Bring what you're working on and we'll work on it.

Saturdays 10:00–14:00 Β· Β£30 Β· Thursdays from 18:00

01 β€” The sessions

Two sessions a week, on our own ground.

Not a village hall and not a car park. Two acres where a dog can actually be worked at distance, off lead, around other dogs.

Saturdays Β· 10:00–14:00 Β· Β£30

Norfolk & Suffolk IGP Club

Four hours of working training. It runs as an IGP club β€” tracking, obedience and protection under proper structure β€” but the door is open. Come with a pet dog and a recall problem and that's what we'll work on. You get the standard of a working club applied to whatever you actually need.

βœ“ Open to IGP handlers and pet owners alike
βœ“ Work on whatever you bring
βœ“ Four hours β€” time to actually get somewhere

Thursdays Β· from 18:00 till late

Thursday Evening Dog Club

Midweek group training on the same ground. Useful in its own right β€” lower light, quieter roads and a different set of distractions to Saturday. Good if weekends don't work, and good for dogs that need more than one session a week.

βœ“ Evening session, runs on into the dark
βœ“ Same coaching, different conditions
βœ“ Proofing in low light is worth more than people think

Two acres, right on the border

02 β€” What happens

How a session runs.


01

Arrive and settle

Dogs out, leads on, everyone settles before anything starts. Half the work is teaching a dog to arrive somewhere busy and switch off.

10 min

02

Work the plan

You work on what your dog needs, not a fixed syllabus. I move between handlers and coach individually while the group works.

35 min

03

Proof it

We add the pressure the group makes possible β€” distance, distraction, other dogs moving, recalls across the field.

10 min

04

Take it home

What to practise before next week, written up in The Paddock so you're not relying on memory.

5 min

05 β€” The IGP club

Norfolk & Suffolk IGP Club.

IGP is the sport that built most of what I know β€” tracking, obedience and protection, judged to a standard that doesn't care how you feel about your dog. Saturdays are built around it.


01

The Saturday session is open to everyone

Anyone can book a Saturday place. Come with a pet dog and a recall problem and that is what we will work on β€” you get a working club's standard applied to whatever you need.

Β£30 Β· open
to all

02

Club membership is by invitation

Joining the Norfolk & Suffolk IGP Club itself is different. Membership is invite-only β€” it depends on the dog, the handler and the commitment the sport asks for. Train with us on Saturdays and that conversation happens naturally.

By
invitation

03

Members get the run of the paddock

That is what the invitation is actually worth. Club members train on the ground whenever they want β€” not just in session hours. Two acres, tracking room, and space to work a dog properly on your own schedule.

Free rein Β·
any time

04

Curious rather than committed

Come and watch first. Most people who end up in the sport arrived with a pet dog and no intention of competing.

06 β€” Seminars & courses

Guest seminars on the paddock.

Two acres and a working club means we can host properly. Visiting trainers and specialists, run as day or weekend seminars β€” open to members and to anyone serious enough to travel for it.


01

Guest trainer seminars

Specialists brought in for a day or a weekend β€” tracking, protection, obedience detail, or behaviour. Working and auditing places.

Day or
weekend

02

Short courses

Focused blocks on one subject, run over a few weeks. Small numbers, same ground, real progress rather than a taster.

Multi-week

03

Members hear first

Seminar places go to club and Dog Club members before they go public. The good ones do not last.

Priority
booking

⚠ READY TO POPULATE β€” no seminars listed yet because none are confirmed. I have deliberately not named any guest trainer (including Hans) until they have agreed and a date exists. Each seminar becomes a Kajabi Event plus an Offer, with working and auditing places priced separately. Send me a name, a date and a price and it goes live.

03 β€” Who it's for

Straight about who this suits.

This is for you if

Your dog is fine at home and falls apart outside it.

βœ“ You've done the basics and need to proof them
βœ“ You can get to Norfolk weekly
βœ“ You'll practise between sessions

Start elsewhere if

Your dog can't yet cope near other dogs.

βœ• Serious reactivity β€” start 1:1, then join the club
βœ• You're outside reasonable travel β€” look at residential
βœ• You want the dog trained without you there

07 β€” Pricing

Come once, or come as often as you like.

Both sessions are open to members and to anyone paying per session. Four Saturdays at Β£30 is Β£120 β€” so if you're coming weekly, the membership is the cheaper way to do it.

Book a Saturday place

Pay as you go
