Last two workshops

There are two Thursday evenings left for workshops, these will be Sept 13 and Sept 20. On Sept 13th at 6:30 there will be an hour of gridwork. I could also do an hour of either distance handling or tightening turns, let me know if you are interested in either of those! On Sept 20th I could do an hour of more contacts and another hour on obstacle discrimination, again let me know if you are interested in either or those! Or alternatively I could do a workshop on waits, and teaching motivation for self control. (That's for the dogs) :-)

Two more weeks left of the current term

Next week, 5th Sept, is week 9 of the 10 week term.

Congratulations to Janice and Tigger

Huge congratulations to Janice and Tigger who have just won into grade 2 :-)

Training days with Toni Dawkins

I am pleased to announce that Toni is able to do some training days for us over the winter. Toni is an outstanding and experienced trainer, now taking on many new ideas alongside tried and tested handling methods, I am really looking forward to her training days. The first two dates I am hoping to secure are Sunday 16th September and Saturday 13th October, to be held indoors at the Effingham venue. If you would like to register your interest in training with Toni please let me know.
