Bit of an emotional night as it was the last night of my classes at Paragon Veterinary Group - Pets for me.

Due to personal circumstances I am unable to continue running classes at Paragon and one of the classes that I do at Wigton dog Training club.

I have enjoyed running these classes for Paragon and so enjoyed meeting the dogs and their owners. During this time I have promoted positive handling and helping their pets Believe in their owners.

Although I am unable to do classes I am still available to do 1 to 1 dog training at other times and will still be involved in Wigton Dog Training Club where possible.

As this was my last night at I was so grateful for the card and the gifts from all at Paragon 😊👍
