 Brookwood Dog Training, Brookwood - Woking - Surrey - England   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Nobody likes an undisciplined dog, who does exactly as he pleases, whether it offends, angers or endangers those around him, so dog training should be taken seriously, it's not a game, but that does not mean that both handler and dog should not enjoy it.
You will probably feel like giving up during one of those 'frustrating' periods, but if you train your dog with understanding and patience, the improvement in him will be well worth the time and effort that you put into it.
The courses that we run at Brookwood Dog Training Club are designed to teach you how to teach your dog to become an accepted member of society, that you can take anywhere, and be proud of.

 Basingstoke Canal - BC News 037   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The hall is situated in Connaught Road, Brookwood (it's the main road) and lies down a little lane at the junction of Connaught Road and Connaught Crescent.
The reason for this is somewhat tedious, if not ridic­ulous, and dates from the society's early days when permission to work on the canal was withheld by the owners because they refused to accept that the society could not be responsible for any publicity given to the work through the agencies of third parties.
There is one other point which has really given rise to the present situation: representatives of the society committee have been told by a very senior member of Surrey County Council that he would rather that no work is carried out on the canal until its future is finalised through acquisition.
