Training & Socialization in my area...

Just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction for me & my new girlie Diamond. We live in Bathgate, West Lothian and I'm looking to work with her as she hasnt had any or much socialization, hence barks at every dog we see!

Thanks in advance
Amanda

We had similar challenges with our white shep Spyke.

We were really lucky because we found a dog walking group/forum fairly close where we walk with lots of other people and dogs and he's really calmed down.

He's really improved with people, a little frightened with other dogs but what a difference after walking as a pack every couple of days for an hour or so.

I'm not sure if there's anything similar around West Lothian however.

Colin.

Hi Mrs D myself and a friend Margaret run a small obedience club in Hamilton a bit of a drive from Bathgate but an option if you are struggling to find something closer, TC with Spyke attends as does another of this forums members just not sure of her user name she brings Zac and Zico her 2 GSDs. Between Maragret and I we have 6 GSDs and a JRT. If you want any more info please drop me a pm.

Tracy and I can certainly vouch for Nisbreagha.
If you can drive the 30-40 mins from where you are it's well worth it and inexpensive.
