The Club

The Club was originally founded by Charlie Metcalf in 1994 at Keyingham in the Scout hut before moving into the Ryehill Village Hall.

After working and training with the club for a number of years Carol took over the running of the club when Charlie and senior instructor Jane Willingham retired from the club at the end of 2008.

Ryehill Dog Training Club is run by voluntary members who have a love of dogs and enjoy giving up their time to help others.
