Welcome to Gillingham! There are 2 drs in the town - Peacemarsh Surgery and the Barn. Dentists - Winning Smiles (very good, next to Peacemarsh drs), and ADT at the other end of town which takes NHS patients. Vets - Shreen vets really good. Also Southill vets at the other end of the town by Orchard Park Garden Centre. Carpenters - Ian Wright (on FB). Builders - Camelot, Shean and Hare (shaftesbury), Burfitt and Garrett (Shaftesbury), Andrew Smith (Gillingham). Hope that helps a bit!

Welcome to Gillingham. For any issues, questions or guidance on anything from rubbish collection to Schools, from road repairs to licences just ask the amazing team at Gillingham Direct in the Town Hall. They know nearly everything and if they don't know they will find out for you. They are one of the jewels in Gillingham's crown!
Kirsty W. replied:
We use Shreen Vets and can highly recommend.

Parking at the Barn surgery is hideous, so Peacemarsh is better choice. As above Camelot builders

Hi Samara, welcome to Gillingham! Blackmore Vale Vets in Sturminster Newton are very good. I can put you in touch with people re: Gundog training, and also local shoots. I am also part of North Doset Ringcraft if you were interested, though it's just training for the show ring. Quite a few of our members also work their dogs, so would be a good way to get to meet local doggie people! We train at Cucklington Village Hall every Thursday from 7pm, and are a friendly bunch! And just incase you need a hairdresser, I own Utopia Hairdressing in Broad Robin, Gillingham!!

We take Peggy to the Coppleridge Inn at Motcombe - the classes are run by Sally of Daymond Training and Lakemead Boarding Kennels. Excellent - lots of fun and she's learning so much. Highly recommended. www.daymond-dogtraining.com/ . Shreen Vets also run free puppy socialisation classes - worth a look. HTH.
Don't know if any of these are near to you http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/training/good-citizen-dog-training-scheme/information-for-dog-owners/good-citizen-dog-scheme-training-clubs/dog-training-clubs-in-essex/ Good luck in finding a club ☺

Can anyone recommend a good but not too expensive friendly dog trainer please? As local to Gillingham as possible who also does obedience classes! Not dog wise in mere...

I've not heard good things about Mere but do recommend Clare Armstrong of Clever Paws.
