We had a super day at Go Go Hoopers show today judging, helping and competing alongside some great people and dogs.

The weather didn’t dampen our spirits and actually worked in Ziggy’s favour as she struggles in the heat.

It was our day for hoopers rather than a
allsorts today, where we got two clear rounds with maximum distance points.

Well done Jan and Team for a lovely show that ran like clockwork.

Congratulations to everyone who had successes, however big or small, running their dogs today 🥳🥳

Some of the feedback we have received since The Dog Field Activity Day included comments saying ‘ I thought obedience training was going to be boring, but Mark made it such fun!’

Obedience training is great fun and I am so pleased so many of you were happy to give it a try.

We cover basic foundation obedience exercises in classes and Celia from Canine Relate covers exercises in UK Dog Sports lessons.

Mark trains obedience with Jenny Gould, Kamal Fernandez and Susanne Jaffa and recommends them all.

Enjoy 🙂🙂

Thank you to everyone who attended our hoopers course running session today.

It was lovely to see the progress everyone has made since our last session.

Thank you to Celia for letting us use her lovely venue, The Dog Field at Pilning.

I love this from Kamal, especially the bit about adolescent dogs and competing.

I see this is lessons all the time. Younger dogs who have great skills, then is goes wobbly for a bit, and then in time those skills all come back.

We are running an Outdoor Training Session on Saturday 18th July at 4.15pm at The Dog Field at Pilning.

The cost is £20 and we cover exercises such as focus on handler, play, self control, recall, lead walking and more.

Dogs must be comfortable in the presence of dogs and people and have trained with us previously.

Further details can be found using this link.

During this session we will work on a variety of life skills and sports related exercises, such as recall, lead walking, stays, motivation and focus on the handler. The session provides the opportunity to practice skills in an outdoor environment with other people and dogs as a distraction. Attendee...
