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.

If you join us for water training, please bring the following items with you (we understand that you may not have all of these things to start with):

• A dog stake or tether
• A wetsuit, life jacket and wet boots or trainers
• Dog life jacket/bouyancy aid
• Towels for you and your dog
• Water bowl, water, treats & a toy that your dog will love (that will float!)
• Water and food for you
• Poo bags
