OG Craigantlet

OG Craigantlet is a new but enthusiastic club, which prides itself on a fun and friendly atmosphere.  Most of its members have extensive backgrounds in UK Working Trials with German Shepherds and the Secretary has started to compete in the lower levels of Schutzhund.  OG Craigantlet provides a fully equipped training field, with 6 permanent hides for searches, agility equipment, fun training equipment, working trials equipment, a Club house and toilet facilities.

Each year the club also assists two local Councils with their activities within the sphere of 'responsible ownership for dogs', 'Good Citizen Schemes'. We run training classes and fun events and have been doing this for some years now.

The club’s mission is to promote and encourage the sport, as determined by the SV and WUSV, of working dogs, encompassing tracking, obedience, agility and protection work. To foster the skill of dog handling and training in competitive contests and to ensure a greater understanding of canine matters especially as pertaining to the German Shepherd Dog.

The club meets on Sundays between 1-3pm at the training grounds at Craigantlet, between Holywood and Stormont, 5 minutes from Belfast City Airport. In the summer months evening sessions are arranged. Various seminars and training meetings may be arranged at other times during the year.

A weekly subscription of £3.00 is levied on all members attending sessions for the purpose of training their dogs. This fee is charged whether there is a trainer present or not - the fee is for the use of the club grounds at any time during any one week. There is a 50p charge for members without dogs. The fee is not payable if members are not using the grounds.
