Dog Training

Lorna asks:

Do you or your readers have any advice on whether there are any dog training classes in Greenwich? I'm preparing in advance for the arrival of the retired greyhound we are hoping to rehome at the end of the year!

The Phantom replies:

This is one to throw out to the floor. I haven't a clue, I'm afraid, Lorna, but congratulations on giving one of these sad creatures a home. I hope you have many happy years together...

Greenwich Mutiny said...: One of my neighbours used to have a dog (no idea what happened to it) but while I was off work for a week I witnessed the curious comings and goings of a mini-bus; no humans only dog passengers. The driver would collect badly behaved canine and whisk it off for some training. If I see neighbour I shall see if they still have the details....; 16 November 2007 18:37

Its not cheap but frankly if it works its worth it. You have to book him through the company 0808 1004071 www.barkbusters.co.uk; 18 November 2007 20:10

We have used Bobs Broadbent from www.dogknows.com to help guide us with our excitable Springer (yes I know they are made that way!). Bobs is a member of the puppy school and relies on reward based methods rather than any punishment tehniques.

Wherever you get your training I hope you enjoy the new member of the family. We'll see you in the park!

About Me

Name: The Greenwich Phantom

Location: Greenwich, London, United Kingdom

Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.
