You all know about our classes and 1-2-1s, but did you also know about our online Rally Club which combines video training with a live workshop?

Rally is a great sport where you can teach your dogs lots of new stuff to enable you to complete a course together. Whether for fun, or to competion level, we can help you.

I’m very proud to have introduced lots of people to the sport and to be able to pass on my experience as a competitor though to the highest level and as a judge 😊

For just £20 per month you will receive a course to work on, weekly videos of how to teach & perform the exercises, a two hour workshop with a video of your round on the day & critique. Bargain!!

Our new course is due to start on 8th April. Let me know if you’d like more information to join up 🥰

Meanwhile huge congratulations to rally club members Lisa with Ebbie & Kara and Martin with Rex who between them had a pretty clean sweep of the top spots at Malmesbury show last weekend. Well done 🥳

01/04/2024

It’s our favourite weekend of the year 😊 Not Easter, the week the clocks go forward! This month we will see the return of the Monday evening classes at Ellenden and we will be able to utilise the outdoor space at Weston Subedge.

Monday 6.00pm Puppies

Please spread the word 🥳

I already have a list of those waiting to return to outdoor classes and I will be contacting you to get you booked in.

New starters welcome 🤗 🐾❤️

Just a thought for you based on personal experience…

Most of you join with your new puppy, some of you as first time owners and you learn together ❤️ Although pups often find the distractions difficult and have a very short concentration span, they generally do well and master the basics 😇

Then, we ask whether you’d like to join a move up class. Let me tell you, this stage is just as important as puppy because you are about to enter ADOLESCENCE 😱😂 Let me also tell you that no matter what work you’ve put in and how well trained your pup is, this is a crucial phase in their development. Some become over confident and ignore everything you’ve taught them, some become more fearful and bark / react to things they didn’t before. It can be a very frustrating time for us and them.

Currently I am there with my Niko. His hormones are raging and I have had to take a big ‘back to basics’ step in his training. It will pass 🙏 He needs his hormones for mental & physical development so chopping off body parts is not the answer 😂

Please please think carefully when you graduate from puppy class. To have a well rounded adult dog it is definitely worth continuing to the next stage. We are here to help you 😊

(Picture because he is very handsome 😂)

Well done to our latest puppy graduates

22/03/2024

Well done to our latest super pups passing their KC Puppy Foundation awards 🥳

The latest in the variety of training we provide for you was Hannah’s Fun Gundog Games workshop today. What a great mix of dogs, all using their Gundog instincts to engage with their owners and add enrichment to their walks.

Before you say ‘I didn’t see that advertised’ it’s because it was full before I had chance! I’m sure there will be more, so let me know if you are interested 😊🐾

16/03/2024

Inspired by the club’s Labrapaw team in the Obreedience final at Crufts, Lesly asked her classes to work together and devise a heelwork routine. Here’s what they came up with.

Well done everyone ❤️

Who remembers this amazing moment from Crufts last year? It was an honour for the club just to be shortlisted and even better to be runner up club of the year 🥰

It’s Cruftmas Eve 🥰🐾 The celebration of all things dog - be it shopping, spectating, showing or competing. Good luck to everyone involved, have a fabulous time ☘️

Special good luck wishes to the club’s Labrapaws team who will be strutting their stuff in the obedience ring tomorrow afternoon. Sadly my gorgeous boy, Richie, is recovering from abdominal surgery and will not be able to join them. Nor will he be able to compete in the interegional rally 😢 Maybe next year…

On Saturday April & Pip are part of the Good Citizen Puppy Display team and my Niko is part of the bronze display ❤️

I know some members are involved in breed showing too. Best of luck and enjoy!

Tuesday marked the last day of my teaching in the role of Head Instructor 😢 A very emotional one for me, but the right decision for a number of personal and practical reasons. It’s also a great opportunity to open a new chapter for the club and I’m sure Lesly & her amazing team will do a great job in continuing its legacy in Evesham & beyond…

What can I say about the gifts, cards & messages I’ve received? I am truly humbled by the thought and effort many of you have made to tell me what training in my classes has meant to you. I think most clients join with the intention of having a well behaved pet, but quickly realise that it goes way beyond that. It’s the human end of the lead that also learns new skills, gains confidence, makes friends and has fun. This is so clear from your comments and is really quite overwhelming! Thank you all ❤️

And as for ‘the team’…. I was holding it together pretty well on Tuesday until they interrupted the last class at Weston Subedge (waiting until we’d done stays of course 😂) They presented me with a lovely card and a fabulous box of presents - my ‘New Business Survival Kit’. Only a team of dog training instructors could have put together such a eclectic mix of everything from long lines & cones to strong coffee and chocolate 😂❤️ Again I am overwhelmed by the thought and effort. Thank you team, you are the best 😘

I’m sure you haven’t seen the last of me - for a start I’ll be back for the Good Citizen tests on 25th!!

Please keep spreading the word about Evesham DTC, coming along with your dogs and taking the club into the next exciting phase…

Want to try something new with your dog? Hannah has spaces in the new beginnner’s fun agility class. Mondays at Ellenden 11.30am.

It’s great fun, the dogs love it! 🐾

Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and kind words. It’s going to be an emotional couple of weeks!

Meanwhile, back to what we do… here are our latest puppy graduates ❤️

29/01/2024

Those of you on our email list will have received the latest newsletter yesterday, which included some personal news from me…

From 17th February, I will be handing the club to Lesly. This is a really big decision, but I’m sure it’s the best one for the club and for me personally. I’ve had the most wonderful involvement as a client, assistant and chief instructor for nearly 20 years, but it’s time to move on. Lesly also has a long history with the club and I know it will be in very good hands.

For those who don’t know, I joined with my first dog Snazzy the Gordon Setter in 2005. We made our entrance when she dragged me into Norton & Lenchwick Village Hall, put her huge paws on the table and knocked Anne’s tea over the red register book. Fair to say we needed help! This came from the advice and wonderful friendships I formed with Brenda, Ed, Anne & John. I will forever be grateful for the life changing opportunities they gave to me.

Since then all my dogs have trained with the club. I’ve lost count of the number of dogs & handlers I’ve taught and of the student instructors I’ve helped to become teachers themselves. How lucky I am to have had the absolute pleasure of doing this.

For me personally, I will be continuing my teaching career from my home in North Wales where I have some exciting new opportunities. In the short term, I will also be helping Lesly with some of the admin to ensure a smooth handover. I will also be continuing with Rally Club and I might even pop up as a GCDTS tester 😉

I know that I am leaving Lesly with a very strong teaching team, a club with a fantastic reputation, a long history in Evesham and beyond and best of all, the most amazing and supportive clients. I sincerely thank you all, past & present.

Kaye x
