I’ve been asked if I plan to run the KC Shows over the winter again.

Currently I’m not planning to.

Obviously there is a much larger volume of traffic and dogs than I ever normally have at the venue. I am keen to avoid upsetting my neighbours. Any complains would jeopardise all my teaching which would not be ideal!

Also, there was a lot of moving equipment and sorting parking etc and it was a very small number of us doing the jobs.

So it’s not that I will never run the shows again but currently I am not planning them this winter but will focus on putting on more workshops and perhaps a simulated show for those that need that experience.

Thanks to those who attended last year - your support was appreciated.

Those who won vouchers last season, I foolishly didn’t print an expiry date on them so this is notice of vouchers are valid until 30 November 2025. Many show vouchers have a 3 or 6 month expiry date so I have allowed longer than this.

Thanks ☺️

On Wednesday we ran first of the small team for GB at the Agility World Championships in Sweden. A solid run and our team finished 7th after the jumping. We run the team agility on Friday morning. I’m super proud of Sizzle 🥰😇

And we are super lucky to have an amazing hydrotherapy facility in Forfar - Animal Health Hydrotherapy

Could hydrotherapy help your dog? 💧

From easing joint pressure to building strength, hydrotherapy is making a real difference for dogs recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or just staying active.
