About Kynologenclub "Scheldezoom"

Kynologenclub "Scheldezoom" is a dog club in Bergen op Zoom. The club offers dog training courses and organises events for members.

Courses

The courses are taught in a positive way by experienced instructors. Lessons take place on the club grounds; some courses also include a theory lesson.

• Puppy course
• Basic and advanced obedience
• Obedience

Puppy course

The puppy course is for dogs from 7 weeks to 5 months old. The course starts with a theory lesson, followed by nine one-hour lessons on an enclosed training field. It covers play, socialisation and guidance through different stages of development.

• The puppy learns to sit, lie down and come on command.
• The puppy learns to walk calmly on a lead.

Approach

Good behaviour is rewarded; less desirable behaviour is not corrected negatively. All dog breeds are welcome. If group training proves unsuitable because of behavioural differences, the club provides tailored advice.

Practical information

Lessons take place on different days, and the lesson schedule changes each season. Joining a course requires club membership. The clubhouse is usually open during lessons.

• Courses are held on different days.
• Course materials for puppy training, obedience and obedience are available and can be collected from the canteen.
