Welcome
Thatcham DTC is a dog training centre based in the Ramsdell/ Ashford
Hill area of West Berkshire. We provide Agility training for all levels
of dog and handler from pre Agility preparation classes through to top
level competitive Agility.
Dog Agility was first introduced to the UK in 1978 and has proved to be
increasingly popular ever since. It is a fast, fun and exciting
activity for people and dogs of all ages and sizes.
Training agility is a great way of forming a strong relationship
between dog and handler. Most people start training agility with the
aim of having fun and being active with their dog but many 'catch the
bug' and go on to compete at the numerous shows which are held across
the country. We can help dog and handler partnerships through all
stages, from the very beginning of their journey to competing at the
highest level. We have classes to accommodate all abilities.
At Thatcham Dog Training Club (TDTC) we are passionate about positive
reinforcement - we train using food and toy rewards. Quite simply, the
dogs learn because they are rewarded when they get something right.
Training is a fun and enjoyable experience when it is reward based!
