- Mission Statement
In 1988 the founding members of the Bearsden Dog Training Club, identified within their community, a need for a professional standard of expertise, in behavioural training for the local pet dog population and their owners. Shortly thereafter the club was founded with the expressed purpose of:-
- Advancing public education in the area of, health, care, management, training and control of dogs, for the safety of both the general public at large and the dogs themselves.
- The preservation and protection of public health, and a more general protection from nuisance, by promoting the highest standards of responsible dog ownership within the community.
- To bring together dog owners within a strongly supportive and friendly group, in such a way that they can identify with a common purpose.
- To benefit both animal and human welfare, by promoting training strategies and methods based on humane practices, as supported and promoted by the majority of animal welfare organisations throughout the world.
