Please check out our training pages and dates of courses available as we have finalised our 2012 start dates....looking forward to seeing both new and old faces throughout the new year!

For all who train with Roloki Dog Training we inform you that there will be no training on Wednesday 26th October 2011 due to the hall flooring being re-surfaced.  All training will commence the following week as normal.

Due to summer holidays we have had a wind down during August and have changed some of our start dates for new courses.  All courses will start up again in September - please check out available course dates.

Our current puppy class are nearly half way through their course and doing really well, pics will be uploaded shortly of them doing various training exercises.

Tonight we start our Bronze Improvers Class, this class is becoming very popular with people starting out on their dog training path.  We look forward to meeting the new members and can't wait to get started on the training!

We are coming to the end of our Silver and Gold Class and will soon be wishing this group good luck in passing their Kennel Club Awards.

Pics to be uploaded soon of all the classes!

to my Kennel Club Gold Good Citizen Class who have passed their Gold Award with flying colours.  All owners have worked really hard with their dogs who are still very young and one being a rescue.  I hope to see many of them back for our new Rally-O lessons!

Well done to my recent Bronze Class who all passed their Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Award...hopefully we will see them back soon for their Silver!

We are starting to think about new training courses that we can introduce so people who have completed their Kennel Club Gold Good Citizen Course can move on and enjoy a new challenge...we am looking to introduce Rally-O to Roloki Dog Training...a higher level obedience course without the strict regime of competitive obedience.  We really hope this will be a success and everyone will enjoy this new side of dog training...check in for more details Summer 2011.

Well after a very quiet 6 months on the show scene as we took a break from October 2010, Dolfi will be shown tomorrow at WELKS...fingers crossed we have a good start to the season.

We are pleased to announce that now in 2011 we will be introducing our First Aid Course available to both people already training with Roloki and people we have not yet met.  The first course will be held in March with the date to be announced shortly.  Please check back for details.

 I hope you all had a good Christmas break and are ready for 2011!  Roloki welcomes you back and hopes we will see old and new faces back training with us throughout 2011.

Well done to my Silver class who all passed their Kennel Club Silver Good Citizen Test before Christmas, they have trained really hard and are doing brilliantly.  We look forward to seeing them all complete their Gold course later this year.

On 12th September myself (Lucy) and Christine went to Winchester for our KC Good Citizen Assessment and i'm please to announce we both passed and are now Kennel Club Good Citizen Examiners for the Bronze Award....now onto the Silver level!

Another big well done to Dolfi who got placed 3rd at Bournemouth Champ Show on 14th August 2010, really pleased with this result out of a strong class.  She showed her little tan socks off!  Pictures will be uploaded soon!

At Dolfi's (Pendley Claudia for Roloki) first Championship show following on from Crufts 2010 we here at Roloki are pleased to say she qualified for entry to Crufts 2011....well done Dolfi!

I am pleased to announce that at just 8 months and couple days old Orla (Pendley Woops A Daisy) passed her Kennel Club Silver Good Citizen Test with flying colours!

I'm really pleased with Orla's progress and am now working towards her Gold Award.

Really excited to announce that our new Agility classes are starting in just a few weeks time!  I am currently awaiting delivery of some items and the tunnel should arrive tomorrow.

We are hoping that once our groups have been practising for a while we will recruit some members to create a club team to compete.

I will keep you updated with news and pictures on the progress we are making.

I'm pleased to announce that tonight Orla took part in and passed her Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Test at just 6 months old.  Really pleased with how she's coming on, the best bit is that she is enjoying every minute of her training.  Well done Orla! (picture will be uploaded soon)

Sorry for the delay on reporting back on our trip to Crufts.  I'm pleased to say Dolfi did extremely well and got placed 3rd in her class.  Such a good achievement as you are up against a lot of dogs and all have had to qualify throughout the year to get there...so you are out with the best of the bunch!  We got a lovely Rosette and Card and above all Dolfi really enjoyed herself. 

Orla is today 6 months old and so far doing really well with her obedience training.  Took her to a different outdoor venue to practice and also added in another dog as a distraction.  Orla quite happily showed off her heelwork, recall, sit and down stays.  Very happy with how my new pup is coming along.  Only 3 weeks until her first competition!

Please take a look at this link which I hope will enlighten a lot of people and also make others realise why we train using rewards.... http://www.dogwelfarecampaign.org/press-statement.php

With only one day to go Dolfi (Pendley Claudia For Roloki) has had her bath and is all ready for Crufts tomorrow.  Tonight is for my preparation and getting the car loaded, will let you all know how we get on.

Well with the weekend just around the corner I am planning a weekend of training Loki, Odin & Orla.  Loki is having a catch up on the basics and Odin & Orla are in training for their first Obedience Competition of the year....I will keep you updated on what we cover and the highs and hopefully not so many lows of their training sessions!

Last year Dolfi - Pendley Claudia for Roloki qualified for Crufts so now with just over 2 weeks to go the preparations are now starting.
