Last weekend we ran a Scurry Training Day for ladiesworkingdogs , and what a fabulous day it was 🤩
The atmosphere, the learning, the boosting each other’s confidence, cheering everyone on, even the weather joined in with the high spirits. It was totally amazing and such good fun!
The morning was spent running through three of the most common scurries found at country shows and fairs, learning how to get the most from an individual run and where to nip off those precious seconds.
In the afternoon we had a few more practice runs and finished with a competition for all the participants with prizes from fieldandfireside.
Thank you so much to Tony Tweeky Elderfield and amandaelderfield for hosting the day, organising delicious cakes, dummy throwing and photographing. Thank you to Neil for all your help throughout the day; the support, laughs, encouragement and excellent ability to capture the dogs attention when throwing dummies. To alexthorneycrofttaylor for providing awesome instruction and tailoring advice to the dog in front of you (something we feel Very strongly about).
Thank you to our daughter Charlotte for dummy throwing, timing runs, cake deliverer and all round brilliant helping. Thank you joanneperrott for the LWDG, I’m honoured to be a group expert for your amazing community, and to Sue Lister for Field & Fireside sponsorship and prizes.
Most of all, thank you to the ladies who booked onto the day for your dedication, hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to boosting each others confidence.
We can’t wait until next time to do it all over again!
