Council become Friendly to Dog Club

If you are dog owner in Milford on Sea, and have been through the training process, there will be chance that you have visited The Friendly Dog Club in Barton. The club does a great job of training puppies and older dogs for the surrounding area.

A few weeks ago New Milton Town Council decided, with no consultation, that they would not renew The Friendly Dog Club's lease when it runs out at the end of Jan 2012.  The club argued that if the building is demolished it will be the end of The Friendly Dog Club and a massive loss to the community.  After a significant protest from all corners of the community, the good news is that it now seems that common sense is to prevail.

At the meeting on 19 July the Finance & General Purposes Committee of New Milton Town Council agreed to recommend a new 5 year lease to the full council who will meet on 1 August. The exact make up of the new lease is yet to be decided.  Well done to all involved.

Our two dogs are a lost cause in terms of training, but if the club has the ability to work magic on the council, perhaps they might even be able to get our mutts to behave to a moderately acceptable level! 

The Friendly Dog Club in Barton have a great website, if you fancy taking a look here is the link:
