Training
As part of your Young Kennel Club membership, we offer our members exclusive access to book onto our training. These training sessions are not designed to replace your weekly local training, but instead offer members access to some of the top trainers in the UK.
As well as our advanced courses, we also offer training courses for complete beginners - these often include lots of different activities, so you can discover which sports you and your dog enjoy the most.

Our Find a Dog Club service offers you a list of Kennel Club registered and Listed Status clubs. We also offer Young Kennel Club training events throughout the year.
Camps and social
Not only do we offer training days up and down the country, we also hold a number of camps that members can attend. These camps are focused on training the basics and providing social games for members to interact and make friends. We have lots of ex-Young Kennel Club members that have become friends for life all by meeting at our camps.
All this for just £15 per year.
