Denby's Debut!

It was a big day for Denby - his ring debut at Tomlinsons Canine Centre at a Training Show where dogs were allowed to take part over 10 months old.

 Happy enough even though now off lead!
 Denby's first run went as well as could be expected for a big new venue
Happy Tuggy Denby

Second time in the ring

He kept his focus well.
He had two goes - one in the morning when busy and one later towards the end of the day when unfortunately, people had started to go home due to the very cold weather.
Kath was very happy at his attitude and movement.
Mostly heelwork with a couple of spins and weaves.
And a tuggy reward for being such a good boy
And straight back into more heelwork.
Ready for another reward
Zoooooooooooooooooooom   Food Circuit!!!
Whoops - all good fun till the food became stuck between his pads!
But happily coming back for more
Off it goes again - yummy cheese!!
And straight back into good focussed work.
Nice Denby :-) Looking very long here!
A great for training all her three dogs, Spice, Amber and Denby - very worthwhile.

Kath has a Weekend Of Seminars

Westglen HTM Club invited Kath to present two seminars over the weekend 11th & 12th February 2012
 
The first day was to cover the KC Rules and Regulations L

 A tough day learning the rules and how to apply them.
Not much fun for Kath's dogs though - at least the weather was improved and warmer - but not as good as a run in the woods - thankfully David was with Kath to take the dogs for short walks throughout the day.

The second day was the Judges HTM Practical seminar -lots of useful discussion and feedback.

Thanks to Pat Sidaway and Westglen for inviting Kath and for letting Kath and David join you for dinner Saturday Night andmany thanks from Kath to everyone who attended - you were a great group - both days!
