A 4.30am alarm call and a stinking cold didn't dampen our spirit today at the British Competitive Obedience Society show in Northants. I feel like I had a bit of a breakthrough with Benson Bogoffski! He never took his eyes of me and didn't leave the ring 😂
But today's star of the show was Georgie and Hedges. They just missed out on a place by 0.25!!! Nearly home! 💤😷

🐾 Impulse Control Workshop – Build Calm, Focused Dogs! 🐾

Does your dog struggle to wait patiently, sn**ch food, or dash through doors before you? This fun, practical workshop will help you build self-control through games your dog will love!

We’ll cover:
✨ Food manners – saying “please” before the treats!
✨ Crate games – helping your dog choose calmness and stay put when needed
✨ Door manners – polite exits and safe, steady starts

These games aren’t just for daily life — they’ll supercharge your start-line waits and focus for sports like Hoopers or Agility

✅ Suitable for all dogs and handlers
✅ Positive, game-based training
✅ Small group for plenty of 1:1 support

📅 Date: Sunday 23rd November 10-12
📍 Location: Picton Dog Club, Village Farm
💰 Cost: £20

🎟️ Spaces are limited — message to book your spot and help your dog learn that patience really does pay!
