Taster Days

Wiltshire Wet Leos run at least one taster day  each season for people who have never been water training before or for people who currently are not members of WWL or similar club and would like the opportunity to work their dogs.

Taster days are a great way to get to know members of the club before  joining but also to get some time in the water with your dog to see if water training is for you and your dog.

You don’t have to have a Leonberger to join in the fun! As full members we currently have a wired haired Hungarian Vizla (Poppy) and a Portuguese Water Dog (Mocca) both have successfully passed their A test and currently working towards their B. See Diary Dates for this years Taster Days. Spaces for taster days are limited and will be based on first come first accepted policy. To reserve a place an application form along with the fee will be required N.B. We no longer accept payment on the day due to non shows and non payment last year. Forms will be made available on the info page two months prior to the taster day.
