Our Dog Sports Club has one space available for the coming year starting in August.

The club primarily focuses on the sport of IGP - a 3 phase sport consisting of Obedience, Tracking & Protection.

In our club each individual element is optional, however if you wish to do Protection then the Obedience element is mandatory.

Dog Sport is a fantastic way to keep motivated to train regularly with your dog and is an enjoyable and safe outlet for your dog to express their natural drives and desires, the overall high standards of behaviour and training involved also mean that a dog that trains regularly in a dog sport is more handler and task focused and better behaved in every day life.

The club is open to all breeds and levels, the dogs should already have a basic level of obedience and should enjoy playing with toys. The dog also needs to be at least dog tolerant or neutral and should be social and friendly or neutral to humans as well.

If you want to join us, contact us for more information.

Dante (Granjolea Copacabana) 15/05/16 - 19/04/24.

Today my Warrior Prince closed his eyes and laid down to rest for the last time.

Dante was the first puppy I have ever raised on my own and for almost 8 years Dante was my shadow, always there when I needed him, and always never far from my side.

We had many battles over the years with him beating bi lateral hip dysplasia and arthritis by going through 2 total hip replacements within 11 months, iris atrophy that left him blind in his left eye and caused seizures in his brain never slowed him down or stopped his obsession for his red ball.

Even being badly attacked by a dog at 15 months old didn’t stop my boy from fighting back to be neutral enough to help many other dogs overcome their fears.

He loved showing when he was younger, qualifying for Crufts twice before he was 2 years old, before retiring from that and enjoying IGP and protection work.

Dante was a challenging puppy, super smart and independent, but he never ever let me down and always got the job done when it mattered.

Our last battle was with T Cell Lymphoma. He gave it a good fight, shrugging off most of the chemo side effects and fighting the good fight, but it was ultimately a battle that we could not win.

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart my wonderful mum who has been there for me throughout all this, and my brilliant and caring vets and staff at Kirkton Vet Centre, especially Lesley who really went above and beyond to give me some extra time with my boy.

Today is also 10 months to the day that I lost my dad, I am absolutely crushed right now and it is going to take time for me and Hustle to adjust to a very quiet house without Dante’s huge character and presence in it.

Dante, my best friend, my shadow, my protector - rest easy now my warrior, find Dad and Pharoah & Ralph and be at peace pain free and happy until we meet again my bestest boy.

Goodnight big fella, I will never forget you, and I will always love you forever.

I know I have been very quiet and not really communicating with clients and potential clients for a few months now. It has taken me a while to figure out what is going on with Dante and wrapping my head around it all, along with still grieving my dad I have been not in the right frame of mind to really speak to anyone.

Back in late November Dante had to be rushed into the vets in the early hours of the morning as he had bloat, fortunately his stomach did not twist and the vets were able to relive the bloat and send him home the next day.

However since then he has bloated (albeit to a lesser degree) almost every night along with drinking & peeing more.

Last Thursday he went into the vets for x-rays and ultrasound of his abdomen to try and see what was causing his stomach to swell and a large 15cm x 15cm mass was discovered.

My vet then made an urgent referral to an internal medicine specialist just outside Edinburgh, they phoned the next day and by 13:00 on Friday Dante was having a CT scan done there.

The specialist took a biopsy which was sent off to the lab, the results came back on Monday as a Large Cell Lymphoma, probably T-cell with suspected necrosis.

This was the absolute worst diagnosis it could have been, with an average survival time without treatment of 3-4 weeks.

His scans and test results were then sent to an oncologist who recommended several different chemotherapy protocols.

I have decided to start chemo for him next week after spending 4 days researching and liaising with my vets to try and find the best solution for him.

Given that he only got the all clear to finally enjoy his life pain free after 7 years and 2 hip replacements in May 2023 I feel I need to do whatever I can to give him as long as possible to enjoy himself.

I want to give a huge thank you to Lesley at Kirkton Veterinary Centre in Stonehaven, as my primary care vet she has been brilliant and taken so much time to research his options, communicate with the specialists and drug companies and to talk to me to help me understand the options and help me make the right decision for Dante.

I also want to say thank you to Bea the Internal Medicine Specialist at Veterinary Specialist Scotland in Livingston for getting him and in so quickly and to Simon the Oncologist at Scottish Vet Referrals in Inverness for his quick response and advice with regards to the chemotherapy options.

At the moment Dante is doing well, and as you may expect from him even a life threatening tumour is not going to slow him down just yet.

It is vital if you are a current client that you have access to the forum, especially if you are in one of the classes. As you can imagine things could go downhill very quickly for Dante and classes may be cancelled or rescheduled at short notice.

If I do need to cancel or reschedule a class then I will post it on the forum, and it will be worth checking the forum before you leave to come to us in case this happens.

I will text or ring 1-2-1 clients if I need to reschedule a session, but this is impractical to do with classes.

This time of year vets see an increase of what they call “dietary indiscretion” - dogs eating things that they shouldn’t, many of the things we like to eat around Xmas such as raisins, nuts & chocolate are toxic to dogs. So how can you prevent your dog ending up in the vets after eating something left lying around or accidentally dropped on the floor? Train it with obligation to do, then practice spontaneously and regularly…. 😎
