Important notice! If you are heading to ODS, the little bridge up the road from ODS is CLOSED.
You literally cannot drive over it, so don't even try.
Google maps is still saying you can go this way - you cannot - so please check your route and change it accordingly. If you are coming from Cedar Creek/Trussler roundabout, don't turn at the Fear Farm corner - keep driving into Washington and turn LEFT at the flashing yellow light, then drive up until you see the ODS sign and turn left there onto Oxford Road 12 to get to ODS.
Please refer to the map link.
The Township of Blandford-Blenheim advises residents that Bridge 24 on Township Road 12 is now closed to traffic on a long-term basis.
Following a recent assessment by the Township’s consulting engineers, the bridge has been identified as having structural integrity concerns and can no longer be safely used.
Preliminary remedial works are currently underway, and road closure signage has been installed at the bridge location, and the closure is now in effect.
Motorists and pedestrians are required to observe all posted signage and use alternate routes. This closure has been implement

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you specialize in?
Oxford Dog Sports offers a range of training classes for both the pet and the competition dog. Including, but not limited to, puppy and basic obedience, show handling, Nosework, and more! Please visit our Classes page for more information on current training classes available. We also offer workshops, private consultations as well as private, one on one training.
How old does my dog have to be to start training?
It's never too early or too late to start training your dog! We offer a variety of classes suitable for dogs in puppyhood and for older dogs looking to learn something new. Even dogs that used to have a job can do many sports that keep them busy, interested and are not too physically demanding. We ask that the dog has had its two first sets of shots.
Do you have puppy classes?
Yes we do!
Our first level is Puppy Power. It is based on the level of knowledge the dog has, not the age.
The second level is Puppy Obedience 2.
The third level is Obedience Level 3, Model Citizen.
You can see a description of each level on the Classes page.
Can my pet dog train and compete in dog sports?
Yes, the only way for a sport to grow is for new people to join! We're more than happy to help you find a sport you and your dog are sure to enjoy together. Our instructors love to help new dog and owner teams grow and can provide lots of guidance on how to achieve your goals whether that's just having fun or getting into the show ring!
Do you work with dogs with behavioural issues?
Yes! Our trainers have a wealth of education and experience working with reactive dogs and dogs with behavioural issues. We're happy to work one on one with you and your dog or within a group setting depending on your dog's needs.
Why do I have to bring a crate for my dog?
We recommend you bring a crate for your dog. This becomes his safe space. A place where he can feel safe and rest between the different activities in the ring or in class.
