About Our Village

The village name has its origins in Saxon times. Although popularly, the village was named after the wolves that inhabited the area, Watts identifies the name as deriving from Wulfestun - or Wulf's estate - and as such named for an early landowner. Other local historians note the existence of a local dignatory named Wolvis during Saxon times and hold that his occupancy of nearby land may be the root of the present village's name. Wolviston lies close to Wynyard Hall, historically the family home of the Londonderry dynasty, whose fortune came from the ownership of several collieries and a port in County Durham. The present Wynyard Hall was completed in 1848, and many royal visitors were entertained there over the following hundred years. The war memorial commemorates the Wolviston casualties in both World Wars.

Dog TrainingWe have been training dogs at classes for about 10 years and before that, we puppy walked for the guide dogs and trained dogs for re-homing. We also competed in Agility and Flyball with our own dogs, but now concentrate on competitive obedience. During this time, we have gained a great deal of experience with different types of dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with specific problems, and came to realise that many of the problems we are seeing in adult dogs, could have been avoided if training had been started early in the dogs life.This is why we started our training classes, especially for the puppies, in the hope of stopping bad behaviour before it starts. We hope to help you make your dogs into well-behaved, happy pets, which are a pleasure to own.
Class times are:

• Mondays 6.30pm – 7.15pm. Puppies / Beginners
• Mondays 7.15pm – 8.00pm. Beginners / Activities
• Mondays 8.00pm – 9.30pm. Competitive / Obedience Class
