🎉🐾 Pics from our Dog Club Party! 🐾🎉
What a brilliant evening of challenges, teamwork and a bit of friendly competition! It was fantastic to see everyone putting the skills they’ve been building in Dog Club to the test in a fun and supportive way. 💛
We started with some party challenges:
📣 Longest Distance Call Into Front Present
How far away could the dogs come in and get into their perfect front position? (With either their nose in the hand “cave” or touching their handler’s legs!)
🧸 Best Retrieve of a Random Item
A tricky challenge with 5 faults added each time for retrieving the item early, dropping it before the cue, not completing the front present, or the handler touching the item before cueing the drop.
🏃 Fastest Out-of-Sight Retrieve
A test of confidence, retrieving skills and waiting for the right moment to bring the item back!
🎒 Most Random Items Held in 20 Seconds**
How many strange items could they hold before the time ran out?
🏆 There was a prize for the winner of each challenge, with everyone cheering each other on along the way.
Then it was time to relax, chat and enjoy the buffet that everyone had contributed to — a lovely chance for everyone (humans included!) to socialise together. 🥪🧁
We finished the evening with the chance to tick off something each dog had been working on over the previous two weeks for their IMDT Passport. There was a prize up for grabs for every exercise ticked off the passport that evening!
Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a fun, encouraging evening. Dog Club is all about continuing to learn, testing our skills, and celebrating progress together — no perfect dogs required. 💛
🎃 Our next party will be Halloween, where we’ll be putting the skills we’ve built up to the test again with more fun challenges and healthy friendly competition!
