WELCOME TO RIDGEWAY KENNELS

 

 

Ridgeway Kennels is a purpose-built dog training facility based in a 300 acre rural Oxfordshire estate. We offer trained security dogs through to police and prison standard patrol dogs, as well personal protection dogs and specialist search dogs.

 

 

 

Ridgeway training methods only involve gentle persuasion, firmness and reward. The dogs very quickly realise what is expected of them. No coercion is ever used.

 

 

 

We use our purpose built indoor training arena and the many secure training fields around us to fully train our dogs in everything from agility, tracking, criminal work and search work.

`

 

 

At Ridgeway, we only provide the most confident dogs, as safety when dealing with these dogs is paramount.`

 

 

 

We also specialise in dogs trained specifically to customer requirements and needs. Please contact us and we will be happy to help.
