🎉CONGRATULATIONS🎉

Well done team, you all smashed it this weekend and there’s lots to celebrate:

- gill and Ronnie = 2 1sts and a clear round (this means first strike to g2 all within your first few months competing - huge well done!!)
- angie and penny = 2 2nds - well done so nearly got that last win needed.
- Sophie and Eric - 1st kc show and only Eric’s 3rd time in a proper ring and he won it! Huge congratulations to you both and Soph you worked so hard so well done!
-Theresa and Eric - 1st run at both your 1st kc show and you took a 3rd in a combined class well done, knew you could always do it 🥰
- Alex, soph and Oscar - what can I say, from the dog that first turned up at training to the dog he is now both in general and agility wise he’s a total credit to you and all the hard work you’ve put into him. After being a nervous wreck due to being a street dog to coming to a show competing and loving every minute just goes to show how far time, patience and love can take you.
- Jo and Rosie - 2nd in 6-7 jumping, well done not easy when you’re feeling rough!

What a collection and a huge huge well done to everyone!

Just a reminder there will be NO training this weekend (weekend of the 24th) see you the following week

Throwback to last year at kernow when the sun was out and I had a dog with functioning legs!!! Somehow he has injured his right hind but not a clue how, leaving me dog less!! So sadly he’s been withdrawn from all classes- what a start to the season….. anyone got a substitute dog (a stuffed teddy will do!! 🤣)

On the other hand it’s been a great start for:
Angie Barrie and penny - 1st, and two 3rds
Godfrey and Dexter - clear round
Jo, brea and Rosie - 1st and some lovely bits in and handling in their other rounds!
Gill and Ronnie - their first kc show and showing HUGE potential with loads of lovely parts.

Hi all, free swimming lessons are available again for this weekend (it’s a bit cold though so I recommend a wet suit!) in all seriousness due to the weather over the past few days sadly the field entrance is yet again….. yep you guess it - flooded! We hope to see you all again next week but no guarantees!

If anyone does decide to have a swimming lesson please feel free to send me the photos 🤣

***** IMPORTANT *****

Hi all, just to let you know agility is cancelled due to the lane being flooded!! So please do not turn up at the weekend as no one will be there, unless you fancy a swim in which case bring your wetsuit and crack on but we won’t be there!!

So the 4th November is CANCELLED, we will update as to the following weeks 🤞🤞 it drains quickly.

Thank you,
Maddie & Godfrey

14 dot tunnel challenge:

The other day we had a go at a fun challenge to work on tunnel drive and independence, it really highlighted for some dogs that more practice needs to be done, however for some they absolutely smashed it. It was a great exercise help installing confidence on working on their own, tunnel drive and independence!

The aim of the game is to stand on each dot and drive the dog away into the tunnel. (A few dots were cut out from the photo)

It’s amazing how such a simple exercise can provide so much brain work. Today we had a play around with stride lengths and changes, making the dogs think and decide independently, it also helped with driving on.
