🐾🐾 On the 9th June Positive Paws Dog Training celebrated it's 15th year.
This followed 28 yrs training and teaching at CEDDTS with my mentor who sadly passed away last year.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me over the last 15 yrs.
All the dogs and their companions who have attended various classes, the teams who took part in displays at local events and the partnerships who compete in Rally Obedience.
A big thank you must go to Penny who has taken and assisted with classes for the past 5 yrs.
Also to Jo Turner who has been a big help for the last 3 yrs.
A special thank you to Jo Stocks who started training her dog with me from the beginning, followed by several more dogs. Two compete/competed in Rally and all attained their Gold RKC GCDTS Awards.
Jo has kept me company on many Rally Judging commitments as my scribe and travel companion/chauffeur and for quite a few years as a Rally Judge herself.
Thank you to those who have commented on the Positive Paws group page.
I have enjoyed being part of your individual journeys.
These are a few of the lovely comments:
Jo Stocks:
Huge congratulations to Trudy the founder of Positive Paws dog training who has now successfully completed 15 years , So many dogs and so many handlers, why do I go training with Trudy? easy, 5 well behaved dogs that always receive great comments. Not rocket science to identify the common denominator here.
Thank you Trudy Longhurst for your support and your friendship , so very much appreciated.
Can't believe I missed the cake.
