About us...

The Cambridge Canine Education Group was an established companion dog training club in the Cambridge area. For over 35 years Alan Cole owned and ran the club which grew and evolved during that time. Initially offering classes in a church hall in Chesterton he then secured the use of a field and classes have been held outdoors in Impington ever since.

Since March 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the popularity of this club has still been evident even though we had to endure bad weather, class restrictions and temporary closure!

An announcement from Alan to the team in the Autumn of 2020 wishing to step back from the running of CCEG came as a great sadness to us all but being the 'family' we are it was decided to continue the club in his honour and so 'CCEG21' was born!

Run by me, Vickie Arkesden, an instructor of the club of around 27+years , CCEG21 will continue to offer companion dog training and fun & games classes.

2024 celebrates 40years of CCEG & CCEG21 running companion dog training classes in Cambridge!

I am proud to have taken the reins more recently from Alan Cole who initially founded CCEG back in 1984.

Collectively, along with volunteers & trainers who have come and gone, (or are still with us!), we have helped many dogs and owners over the past 40 years and have met some wonderful people who regularly return with new additions as time passes!

We are putting together some pictures and anecdotes of the past 40 years to help celebrate this momentous anniversary of our successfully awesome little dog training club.

More celebration info coming soon!!

Terms & Conditions Update:

After a review of our T&Cs to comply with our insurance company and the Government following the update to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, we have made amendments to be compliant with the legal obligations regarding XL Bully breeds and XL Bully breed types for our current members. However we will no longer be accepting new memberships for dogs covered under the guidance.

We thank you for your understanding in this issue.

Vickie & the CCEG21 Team.

Private Facebook Group for CCEG21 members!

We have a private Facebook group open for current members of CCEG21. We envisage it being a communication tool regarding class times & dates, last minute cancellations due to bad weather, stopping and restart dates etc as well as to share photos, anecdotes, training info and anything else club related!

Please send a request to join after answering 3 Qs and reading through the T&Cs.

We will still communicate via this website too but hope the FB group will be an added bonus!

Classes Held

Puppy Classes

Puppy classes are for dogs under 6months of age that have been fully vaccinated and able to mix with other dogs.
We cover the basics from sit & down to loose lead walking and recall, accepting handling and appropriate greetings.
Button
Beginner Classes

Beginner classes are held for those progressing from puppy class or for dogs 6months and over who need an introduction to training. We cover the basics taught in puppy class but progress this learning to be able to use it in every day life in a practical way.
Button
Intermediate Classes

Intermediate classes are held for those progressing on from beginner groups that want to advance their basics and apply the learning in a more challenging way. Typically those that hold or are working towards a Good Citizen Silver Award will be in this group.
Button
Advanced Classes

Advanced classes are for those that have progressed through other classes to reach a high level of obedience and control both on and off lead. This class is desgined as a 'work out' for both dog and owner challenging all exercises taught to a high standard.
Button
Small Dog Class

Small dog class is a fun and games class for smaller breed dogs who can engage in exploration and activity without the structure of a formal obedience style class. Equipment such as cones, boxes, tunnels, low jumps and target mats are used and general control and focused engagement is taught to compliment this.
Button
Agility Class

Although no offical agility classes are being held we do use the equipment to help habituate puppies and young dogs to new and novel things. In the small dog and more advanced classes pieces of equipment will be used to enhance exercises and create fun and novel games.
When classes are running again it will be by invitation only. You can email an interest if you would like to know more and have already attended our other training classes.
