Wowser!

Well that was an incredible way to kick off the winter series!

Judges - Kate Smith and Jessica Burrow awesome job! The courses were all so lovely and smooth and really flowed well, dogs and handlers all had a blast thank you do much!

Competitors - you guys were amazing today! It was so great to see everyone!
I personally want to thank everyone for your help and hard work throughout the day! Everytime a judge or one of us went to do something, one of you guys beat us to it! It definitely helps the shows to run so smoothly when u guys r all big part of it.

Well done on all of your runs everyone! Loved seeing everyone and seeing how much training you guys have done since the last one, it's great seeing the improvements, sharing the laughs and loving the little moments, big and small!

Tracey Hopper as always u r and awesome show manager, you work so so hard and it is very much appreciated, thank you!

Guys, there will be treats next month as a super thank you for your help! Chocolates or cakes or something :)

Entries are still open for our November show, but not for long and they are filling up fast!

See you there x

We are all human (ok well most of us 🤪🤣)

We all have bad days/off days/etc

With students i often mention using 2 different items for walking my dogs.

When I'm walking on loose lead walking, I always use a neck attachment or collar and lead or in this video I have martingale all in one leads but they work like a collar and lead as they dont tighten.

When we have young dogs/rescue or foster dogs/or im having an off day but still need to walk the dogs... I dont want to undo all the good work I've put in to their loose lead walking. So on these days, I walk them in a harness instead. They very quickly learn the difference.

My larger older dogs have all done harness sports as well (bikejor (mushing on a pushbike!)) So pulling into the harness is necessary anyway.
My spaniels dont do and are unlikely to ever do harness sports.

Having dogs that can tell the difference really means you dont undo hard work when you just aren't feeling it.

You dont have to do it the way around I have, you could do it the other way around or use other equipment. This is simply a quick vid to show what I mean and to see the difference in what I expect.

Hoopers Classes

Fancy having some fun with your dog? Hoopers is a ground-based sport that is similar to agility but without the same physical intensity on the dogs joints. Come along and teach your dog how to navigate through Hoops and Tunnels and around Barrels and Gates.

ALL training is FUN and reinforcement based – it is great for building confidence in dogs, or helping to focus those slightly more energetic canines onto a specific task! It is perfect for building an awesome relationship with your dog.

Not an athlete yourself? Not a problem, hoopers is aimed at working your dog from a distance.

Not got a collie? Definitely not an issue, ALL breeds of dogs enjoy doing hoopers from miniature dachshunds to great danes, terriers and hussies to traditional working breeds… ALL can have fun together!

Thinking about our winter❄️ shows.
Before I put the schedule out.....what do you guys want?
As well as the 4 standard progression classes, would you like a 5th class?
If so would you like another progression class (changing each month) or would you like a different fun class each month?
Let us know in the comments.😁
