🐕 ☀️ SUNDAY TRAINING 23rd August ☀️ 🐕
Due to the Ballarat rainy weather making our grounds very sloshy and wet, we moved to the other side of the training ground.

Over in the adults we had Ken leading the training, the perfect sits, stays and recalls (except for Bella’s jail break out) all dogs and their handlers did well this morning.

🐕 ☀️ Sunday Training 16th August ☀️ 🐕

Thankfully the cold morning was melted away at the first sunlight as our trainers, handlers and dogs arrived for their training session.

Over in our puppy class we had Vader and Maggie taking their little pawprints further, and we had Nightingale and Ellie being a role model to the younger pups.

In our adult class, Marley, Bella, Hugo, Saria and Betty all excelling in their commands.

Overall it was a successful morning but with Spring around the corner, we hope to have the field thawed out in no time

🌧️ ☔️ Reminder for Sunday Training ☔️🌧️

In the past few weeks we have had non stop Ballarat rain to which has made some areas of our training ground a tad muddy. We would like to remind you all to bring gumboots or appropriate footwear for trainings, plus towels for your dogs to wipe their paws and to enstill pre training routines for your dog prior to their lessons.
This could be taking your dog for a walk, pre training techniques, crate time or down time, whichever works for you and your dog.
We look forward to seeing you all at training tomorrow
