🤞🏼🐾❤️ Venue Suggestions ❤️🐾🤞🏼
As many of you know, I compete in Heelwork To Music and I travel the length of the country to attend shows and training.
I'd love to get more going locally, not only to save some milage on my van 🤣 but also to open up more Heelwork To Music opportunities in Wales / Shropshire / Herefordshire.
Think workshops, training shows and maybe (just maybe!!) Kennel Club shows in the future.
But I need a space!
I already hire a number of places locally, which I am incredibly grateful to use and will continue to use!! but many of them I need to put my own flooring down which is a blocker when I just want to use it for an evening or a day for my own dogs. The dogs work at speed and need to be safe, hence no slippy surfaces. We also throw treats (a lot) and do routines on the floor with props so that means horse sand schools aren't always a great option. (Although I have a couple of places I use personally and love them very much! But they aren't for everyone in the sport).
So I'm putting the call out! Do you know somewhere that:
🐾 Has large carpeted area which is empty or can be emptied with relative ease
🐾 Has a car park
🐾 Has an on-site toilet and kitchen area
🐾 Would be interested in hiring to a dog training professional (insured, qualified, trustworthy, has references etc.) for a day or evening on a semi-regular basis
If you know somewhere, please drop it down as a suggestion, or if you own somewhere privately please feel free to contact me. I'm based Knighton / Presteigne but willing to travel into Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire for the right venue.
Generally the places we have used in other parts of the country aren't "dog friendly" but the business is willing to chat about our requirements and happy to have us in as an exception. For example, last weekend we were at a leisure centre! So even if you aren't "sure" about the dog element, let's have a chat!
