Kath was delighted and excited to be invited to the Support Dogs Awards Ceremony at Tapton Hall in Sheffield. Very pleased to accept, she was asked to talk about Heelwork To Music and Freestyle for 20 minutes!
The Hallam Room had seating for over 150 attendees - many support dogs were present with their owners, along with Support Dogs in Training, Foster Carers, voluntary fund raisers and of course the staff and trainers from Support Dogs which is based in Sheffield.
After the opening speeches, Kath introduced everyone to the sport of Heelwork To Music with the help of her three dogs - Denby, Amber and Spice.
A carpeted area had been provided to help Kath and her pet dogs show many of the moves safely.
And even time for a routine! A bit restricted for space for Spice and Kath to show the routine to its best - but the audience were very appreciative of their efforts.
After the demonstration - which was extended to nearly 45 minutes - lunch followed by the Awards to those dogs which had graduated and to many of the Support Dogs caring for their handler's needs. See more here.
Thank you for inviting Kath, Spice, Amber and Denby to such a huge date in the Support Dogs' Diary and thank you for making them most welcome for the entire event - and for the beautiful flowers too!!
