Thank you Whittingham Dog Kennels for the mention back in February:

It was a pleasure to be able to make such a donation to your charity and to know that these savings will go to such a worthy cause. Your dedication to the hundreds and hundreds of beautiful greyhounds that come through your doors is phenomenal.

Keep up your amazing work!

Legend and everyone would like to thank Broxbourne Dog Club for their very generous donation. And to Liz for nominating Whittingham as the charity.

They are all legends too!
...

Legend is still waiting for his chance. He's such a lovely boy and only 6yrs old, despite being very grey!

Happy New Year 2026 to all our Members on here! We hope you had a wonderful time over Christmas and wish you a healthy and happy year ahead.

It is with great sadness and regret that we have to announce the closure of Broxbourne Dog Club.

The club, championed by Graham and Margaret Kersey, has supported the training of dogs and their owners for over 50 years. It survived—and even flourished—during Covid with the use of an outdoor training arena at Argosons Stud. However, since returning to St Giles Hall, membership numbers have declined while costs have more than doubled.

An EGM was held by the Committee on 29th December to discuss the future of the club and whether it could be taken forward. Unfortunately, with two trainers retiring, committee members stepping back, and insufficient volunteers coming forward, the difficult decision was made to close the club.

It was also agreed that the funds held should be donated in recognition of the many years of support from our members.
These funds, accumulated over the past 50+ years through class fees, memberships, donations, and sales of training aids, will be allocated to a selection of very deserving Charities identified by the committee, which are much in need of funds and support.

We will announce these shortly.

Our apologies to those who had recently shown an interest in joining the club. In the meantime, for our own regular, newer and potential members, please take a look at the following reputable alternative dog training clubs, which our committee would personally like to recommend:

Nosey Barker (Harlow) www.noseybarker.co.uk
Homeward Hounds (Theydon Bois) www.homewardhounds.co.uk
Muddy Mutleys (Enfield) www.muddymutleys.com

We will still be supporting the Dog Show at the Hunsdon Village Festival this year, which will hopefully go ahead.....maybe see you there!!

We would like to thank our regular and committed Members of the club sincerely for their friendship, commitment, support, and the many laughs—some truly side-splitting. All of it will be remembered with great fondness.
With warmest thanks and very much gratitide,

The Broxbourne Dog Training Club Committee

A rather funny post we thought we'd share:

Dear Dog,

1) When I say move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions so you are still in the way.

2) The dishes with the paw print design are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note: placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

3) The stairway is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Nor does tripping me help because I can fall faster than you can run.

4) The garden is also not a race track...it is actually there for us to enjoy and for you to relieve yourself when needed. Excessively tearing up the grass is not acceptable in the slightest.

5) I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping. They can actually curl up in a ball.

6) It is not necessary to sleep stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.

7) For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, bark, try to turn the k**b or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I used to enter. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years; canine attendance is not mandatory.

8) The proper order is: 1) kiss me, 2) lick your butt. I cannot stress this enough.

9) The fridge is an appliance for human food, it does not require your presence every time I open the door.

Love your hooman
