Well done to our Toodyay group class participants who joined us this morning for a "different" session.
Today we practised STAY, a very valuable skill. We added distractions which included snake bite 1st aid for both the handler and the dog.
I got a bit creative and also asked participants to try to immobilise their dogs and place a blanket over them for warmth, imagining they are in a cold climate, or required it for 1st aid.
Preparation and planning, if we practise we are more likely to operate well under real emergency conditions. No dogs or humans were hurt during the class.
Super proud of all the teams who managed the exercises well and made a mental note of areas they need to work on.
Stay safe out there folks, be prepared, its getting warmer.
