There used to be one in an old chruch, I think on Devonshire Street in Keighley that was very good.
Don't know if it's still going, ask at Dogsbody's. |

There is one in Skipton run by Embsay Dog training club, down Broughton Road. Puppy training is Tues 6.30pm. They have a website can't remember it, but I found it through Google. |

I took my young Pup to the Skipton classes a few times last year. Paid up for the full course but decided that the two women were a bit too aggressive in their methods so stopped going. |

Don't worry we always have poo bags. It is one of my worst pet peeves (no pun inteneded) people who don't clean up after their dogs need shooting. It is dirty and anti scoial not too. On another poo related point, for a town with so many dog owners why are there so few poo bins about. As much as I love my dog I don't like carrying around bag of poo. Maybe if there were more bins folks would be more inclined to pick up there poo.
Also they are stopping doing grooming at Dogs body. Eeek where can I take my pooch for bathing from now on?? |

The town council has been chasing poo bins, but the official Bradford response is that they will not, for healthy and safety reasons I think, provide specific poo bins.
BUT they do say use the ordinary bins!
If you want some posters to put up on lamp posts near where you live let me know |

I would love some posters. As I say it really annoys me when people don't pick up poo.
But surely putting bags of poo in a general watse bin is just as bad as putting them in a poo bin, health and safety wise. I am guessing they would be too restricted on budget for getting ones like the one outisde the Ecology Building Society which seems to lock the bags away when you close the lid. |

We've got some laminated if you want them 'hermione'. Let me know, Peter can forward e-mails on to me.
I also wondered if it would be useful posting some on here that people could print off, if anyone is interested. They could be laminated and then fixed up. |
