Iron Acton K9 Club is listed with the Kennel Club. The club was formed by a group of friends living in Iron Acton, Frampton Cottrell, Rangeworthy and Yate who all enjoy training and working with their dogs. Initially we started as a small group who met once a week in Iron Acton to do Flyball. From that small start we evolved and increased our activities to include agility, and gundog scurry in Iron Acton. We formed another section to work on obedience training following the Kennel Club Good Citizens Scheme and basic Rally training in Rangeworthy Village Hall.
All our training is based on the dog and handler enjoying working in partnership and our methods are reward based, with some of our members using clickers. We are always keen to welcome new members to join us. Families are welcome and young handlers encouraged. We have a relaxed atmosphere enjoying cups of tea or coffee as we work. Some of the more sporting activities are by invitation from the obedience section once we know you and your dog so we are confident that you have achieved a basic level of control off the lead in an open field.
In addition to working with our dogs we like to enjoy spending time together and often use these occasions to raise money for charities. In the last 2 years we have made donations to Bristol Dogs Home, Bath Dogs Home, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf and Rangeworthy Hall.
