Water Rescue
Usually April - October
We train for water rescue in the warmer months of Spring and Summer. We usually meet each Sunday at 10:30am and finish around 4:00pm with a break for lunch. Each training session is £3 per dog along with our annual membership fee, however if you're new you are welcome to attend 3 training sessions prior to joining. These costs cover our running expenses for fuel, insurance etc and none of our members make any money from training. This is because we are all Newfoundland enthusiasts who love training our dogs and helping others with their dogs. You do not need to commit to a certain number of training sessions; you can attend once a year, a month or every week, but all we ask is that when you do come training, you help set up, pack away and help train other members dogs. We are a great team at Rother and all support each other.
