Learn, Develop and Connect

BATWK is passionate about supporting the development of both Working Kelpies and their handlers. Throughout the year we organise and promote a variety of events, including sheepdog training clinics, demonstrations, educational workshops, member gatherings and the Annual General Meeting.

Whether you’re completely new to Working Kelpies or have years of experience, our events provide an excellent opportunity to improve your skills, meet like-minded people and learn from some of the most respected handlers and trainers in the UK and beyond.

Why Attend a BATWK Clinic?

If you’ve never attended one of our clinics before, we would strongly encourage you to come along.

Our clinics are designed to be friendly, welcoming and supportive, regardless of your experience. Whether you’re handling your very first Working Kelpie or refining the skills of an experienced dog, you’ll receive guidance from knowledgeable trainers in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

Many of our members say that attending a BATWK clinic has been one of the most valuable investments they’ve made in both themselves and their dogs.

You’ll leave with new knowledge, greater confidence and practical skills that you can take home and apply in your day-to-day work.
