2026 is off to a good start! Today we've collected the keys to a unit, that we're going to use for our training classes/courses and Sami & I couldn't be happier 😀 We were even given a bottle of bubbly and a Good Luck card from the landlady

I came across Mel Moon Comedy just a few days ago and I love watching her videos where she's informing her teenage son about life. HER content is funny, current, clear, informative and is shared by HER followers.

Unfortunately, as with many businesses, including the dog training industry, her content is being stolen, by unscrupulous, lazy people, who don't credit Mel and are making more money freeloading, than she is.

What can you do about this?
When you watch a clip or read something, before clicking 'like' or commenting or sending gifts, go to their main page. Scroll through. Read comments.
Does anyone mention that the content was created by someone else? Are the clips and content too diverse in subject matter. (I'm not saying people can't be diverse in their hobbies, but hopefully you understand my meaning). You can even run a search, to find the original content creator.

Don't just like the clip or follow, unless you're sure it's actually their own content.

Please spend the time watching Mel Moon

(Yes, this was written by me Helen Bull ) 😃 😊

Brilliant! Just goes to show you don't have to run with an agility dog, if you do the training 👏 👏 👏

Did You Know… Welsh Fairies Rode Corgis Into Battle? 🧚‍♂️🐾

June 24 is International Fairy Day — a date chosen because it falls near Midsummer, when the boundary between our world and theirs is said to be at its thinnest.

In Welsh folklore, the Tylwyth Teg — the mysterious and enchanting Fair Folk — were said to ride into battle on the backs of corgis. Small but swift, these fairy steeds were loyal companions and fierce fighters, perfectly sized for their supernatural riders.

Even the name “corgi” may hint at this magical origin. Cor means “dwarf” and gi means “dog” in Welsh — making corgi the “dwarf dog,” or as some like to call it, the “dog of the fairies.”

And if you’ve ever noticed the faint dark markings across a corgi’s shoulders, take a closer look. Folklore calls it the fairy saddle — a lasting trace of their time in the service of the Tylwyth Teg.

So today, if you pass a corgi, be polite. It might not be alone... 🐾✨
