The Cambrian Dog Training Club is an obedience and behaviour training facility for family pet dogs.

The club was formed to provide training discipline and dog management help for owners, both young and old, through a broad section of the community. It also provides encouragement for youngsters and novice dog owners in good dog management and welfare, with emphasis on dogs being well behaved generally and particularly in public.
Instruction is given in an informal friendly manner.

All the trainers have years of experience and give their time free.

The club accepts any breed of dog, with the exception of Pit Bull Terriers or Pit Bull Terrier Crosses. All dogs must be vaccinated.
