Dog Training and Care Advice

Our Dog Welfare Officer gives advice to owners on the care of their dogs and responsible dog ownership.

Dog Training

All dogs should be trained from an early age, because control is essential when living in a busy community.

For advice on your responsibilities as a dog owner to control your dog in public, go to the Directgov website using the link from this page.

Local help and advice with dog training is available from:

• Eastbourne Dog Training Club - Tel: 01323 765392

• Berwick Obedience Association - Tel: 01323 833967

You can also use the links from this page for advice on pet care and training from other organisations including the Blue Cross, Dogs Trust and RSPCA.
