A busy week, well worked and well worth it.
A few days down south in Surrey sharpening skills and pushing standards in new ground, followed by a return to Leicestershire for sessions in the sugar beet.

The dogs have been working hard—building on drive, focus, and handling across varied cover.
Plenty of progress, a few lessons banked, and a solid foundation laid for the month ahead.
