🌧️ Huge thanks to everyone mad enough to brave Storm Amy today! Particularly those that mucked in to help keep things running smoothly 🚩
That first hour was absolutely brutal – we were all soaked to the bone before diving into the cabin at half time for some well-earned comfort food: curry & rice, corned beef hash, veggie chilli, sausage rolls, cakes, and hot drinks. Definitely appreciated this week! 🍛☕🥧
The sun did pop out occasionally, and moving over to the second track proved a smart call to protect the stopping area on the original.
The dogs didn’t seem too fussed by the weather and it was great to see some of last week’s newcomers back and making fab progress. 🐾
👏 Another brilliant week for Louise and Rue, winning the final for the second week running and smashing that handicap once again!

✨ Intro to Lure Day – Positive Feedback ✨

We were delighted with the turnout at yesterday’s Intro to Lure day, and it’s been wonderful to receive such positive feedback. It was lovely to see the owners enjoying themselves every bit as much as their dogs, and the smiles when everyone received their much-deserved certificates made the day even more special.
A big thank you to all who came along – we look forward to seeing you (and your gorgeous dogs!) again soon. 🐾

What makes Woofingtons different from other pet stores? We put your dog’s health, well-being and happiness first, which is why we only sell the best quality foods and treats. Unlike other stores that sell brands like Pedigree, Royal Canin, Bakers etc who focus on profits rather than quality, we only sell food that meets our strict quality and nutrition standards. We are also a proudly independent local family run business.
