Caught on Camera

A lovely sunny day with temperatures around 28 degrees - and a lovely breeze blowing 

 Top Lodge were asked to meet some television producers

 To chat about their lives and the sport of Heelwork To Music 

Lots of wonderful memories to recall over the decade that this trio have been together!

Good fun and relaxing too!

 What on earth is Kath describing to Lesley and Karen?

Karen - lost for words???

The team caught on camera - Kath, Chris, Lesley, another Chris and Karen

Nine dogs - can you spot them all?

Young Dewy - the baby of the pack 15 weeks - showing how well he can weave with Lesley

Next youngest - Denby 15 months - showing Spins and Twirls (and well focussed on Kath's hand!)

 Next youngest is Erin - 3yrs old - showing Roll Overs with Karen

 And time for a reward session too

Hamish - 5 yrs old - taking jumps over Lesley in his stride!

 
 Amber 7 years old - happy to show how to beg with Kath :-)

 Fly - 10 yrs old - showing how she can do Hind Leg work with Karen

Spice - 10 yrs old - showing a relatively low through arms jump with Kath

 leading up to her "Body Bopping" 

 Hamish - 10 yrs old - shows how to be shy with Lesley!

Kes, the most "mature" dog in the team at 14 yrs old - shows she can still skip as well as Karen

 And then shows how she learnt safely to be on Karen's back

 After the final height after months of training!

 Kath explaining how she taught the moves she just demonstrated

 Then Karen's turn ...................

And finally Lesley.
Thanks to Chris and Chris for taking time out to visit the Top Lodge Dancing Dog Team!

The Trio on TV

The Top Lodge Trio have had a very busy weekend. In the midst of their training schedule for the Crufts Semi Finals being held on 30th January 2010, they have been fiilming with "twOfour broadcast" who are the largest factual features and entertainment programming outside London. "twOfour" has won a place on the Broadcast Awards 2010 shortlist in the Best Independent Production Company category.

The trio entertained the film crew and producer/director with their latest routines.

They filmed an entire day which included Erin, the youngest member of the Top Lodge Team being "taught" some simple moves for a short routine by the presenter.

More news on this to follow - including photos. But for now we have to stay quiet :-)
