Four Paws Committee
Obedience training and socialisation in Oxfordshire
The Committee make decisions on the running of Four Paws. However, the club belongs to its members - its trainers, committee and those who bring their dogs to training! The Committee are always happy for suggestions and ideas from any member - just tell us what you'd like to happen!
