Winter Training 2016/7

Winter Training 2016/7

We have enjoyed seven sessions of Winter Training, beginning in October 2016 and ending in January 2017.  We started in pouring rain (and it stopped, sun shining, as soon as we reached home!), but the weather has been good since and we ended our season with a beautiful sunny winter morning.

We thank Richard and Tina for allowing us to use their grass field which is ideal for our purposes.  Thanks, also, to our trainers: Ray Newell, Vicki Strawson, Janette Sayer, Gill King and Gilly Bell.

All the dogs, especially the regular novice group have improved and the open dogs were tested with some novel exercises by Ray.

Janette trained the puppies and gave three awards at the end of the course:

Best dog went to John Spencer's Monty

Most improved dog was awarded to Debbie Yates' Derry

and Terry Moore's Dougie was the dog Janette would most like to take home.
