Welcome to Braunton Dog Training Club
​
Braunton Dog Training Club is a Kennel Club Listed Status organisation run by volunteers that started in January 2007 after the previous club stopped in 2006.
​
Training classes are held on a Wednesday evening from 6:45 to 9:45 (45 minutes per class) at Wrafton Hall (Heanton) with three terms per year for Puppy Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold Award Good Citizen schemes.
​
We hold an annual Companion Dog Show each year to raise money for nominated local and national charities such as Nowzad (rescuing dogs left by military personnel in Afghanistan) and Dogs for the Blind.
​
We also hold our annual Christmas party for the enjoyment of dogs and handlers alike with raffles raising money for our nominated charities, party games, a dog fancy dress competition and a delicious buffet for all.
