A few action shots from the competition day with the Northern Gundog Club 🥰

Betty spaghetti and myself went to our 1st taster of trialling at the weekend. It was a bit nerve wracking to begin with as we’ve never done anything like this before but it was good to see how our training has paid off.
I was super pleased with our progress so far and I also learned what we need to work on.

There were 3 trials each scored out of 20.
Trial 1 we scored 20
Trial 2 we scored 17
Trial 3 we had to take as a training trial so scored 0 - this one was much more difficult
(blind retrieve over a stream) and I had to get in there and help her so we didn’t get a score.

I’m super happy with this for our 1st time and she is only 20 months old so I think we’re in a good place for her age. 🎉😁
We both had a fabulous time anyway - she lives for working and retrieving 😂. Look at her little face on the bottom left pic 😂

What a fantastic start to NGC’s very first competition day! 🎉🐾

Firstly, a huge thank you to our incredible team of volunteers who gave up their time to make the day possible 👏🏻👏🏻

The aim of these days has always been to build confidence in both dogs and handlers, without the pressure of formal tests. It’s all about giving people the opportunity to compete, put their training into practice, and highlight areas to develop – all in a supportive and encouraging environment.

We ran three tests today, with each handler having the chance to run them twice. The highest score from each test counted, and combined totals determined our final scores.

It was brilliant to see nervous handlers grow in confidence as the day went on and really start to enjoy working their dogs. With such a wide range of abilities, it was also a learning experience for our panel of (novice!) scorers – thank you for bearing with us!

We held a charity sweepstake and raffle in support of Morgan’s Dog Rescue, which we’ll continue throughout the summer. A big thank you to everyone who contributed – and apologies for the bottle of wine that accidentally stayed in my coat pocket… it’s been added to the next raffle 🙈🍷

As always a massive thank you as well to our sponsors and supporters – we truly appreciate everything you do for NGC.

And finally, congratulations to our winners:
🥇 1st – Kelly Gilchrist
🥈 2nd – Becs Glaze
🥉 3rd – Sara Amelia

Charity Speed Sweep Winner: Jessica Wright 🎉

Our first competition day was a big learning curve for the NGC team, and yes – there were definitely a few nerves! We really appreciated how kind and supportive all competitors were throughout.

We’ll be hosting more competition days on the first Sunday of each month, and we’d love to see you there.

We hope you had a great day, and if you’d like to join us at a future event, please register your interest at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeULd3OF7c_M3RkvOV7s5fIIqoaikdwrx2Msio9fTM6PMarjg/viewform

Now this is interesting 🧐
How long have they been forcing these products on us because we absolutely need to apply all sorts of nasty chemicals to our dogs?

I’ve been naturally treating for years and not had any problems at all with prevention 🤷‍♀️

These chemicals don’t just target pests, they impact a wide range of wildlife, from bees and butterflies to fish, birds, and bats, disrupting pollination, food chains, and overall ecosystem balance.

Flea and tick preventatives often involve similar pesticide exposure. While sometimes necessary, what happens after exposure matters. Supporting the body’s natural detox pathways with proper nutrition, antioxidants, and gentle detox strategies can help reduce the burden on the liver, kidneys, nervous system, and immune system. It’s not just about protection, but also about helping the body recover from what it’s exposed to.

If you want to explore a science-backed detox option for your pet, comment DAILYDETOX and we’ll send a link your way.

The “stop” whistle in action.

Can you stop your dog from doing something they want to do if you need to?
