Before we start getting our winter coats out, lets start planning some Autumn/Winter training. Regarding Movement Club Online I'm going to start with a Beginners group, really aimed at those who haven't really participated in Movement Club before and also those clients at a distance from the venue.

This will be on a Monday evening 6.30-7.30pm starting on Monday 5th October. Only 4 in the group and the block will be £60 for 4 sessions. The sessions will be delivered via Zoom. This will be available to book via the page from next Saturday 12th September.

Message me if you have any questions on 07583 361826. Thanks very much for those of you who have already shown interest. If there are enough people I will add a second group. Vickie x

Love learning and getting trained ! I’ve always loved seeing Dani work her dogs so very excited to invite Dani to the farm to support Helio, Meg and me. We’ve lots of things to practice and working with another trainer makes you accountable. Thanks Dani 🐾❤️🐾

It’s been a busy few days here. I’m so lucky to work with so many fantastic teams. On Tuesday Lyra and George came for some proprioception and fitness sessions and Finlay progressed his Hoopers skills - brilliant for such a young dog - we keep the sessions short and fun.

Later Bruce and Nancy added the next exercises for their Intermediate Conditioning Programme - so grateful for the commitment of these Case Study teams for my training at the Canine Conditioning Academy

Yesterday morning, Bear and best mate Norman, came for their monthly fitness session. Fantastic progress and again, amazing commitment from their guardians to their dogs’ health and fitness.

In the afternoon, Meg and Helio helped me at Creative Action Team. And in the evening three new Barn Hunt UK dogs took part in a private workshop. Fig, Ralph and Olive were absolute naturals - really well done guys. Hope to see you again.

Day off today !

Barn Hunt UK workshops - the afternoon sessions in October and November are for BOTH Intermediate and Beginners. As you know we work one dog at a time so if you are a more experienced team we will increase the challenge. We won’t be running any Barn Hunt workshops here Dec- April so book on an afternoon session rather than missing out x

Thanks Greyhound Trust Shropshire & Borders for a fun day despite the morning rain. So proud of Helio, who last year couldn’t even cope with being in the field and this year entered the Handsome Boy class and got a Special Rosette ❤️.

Meg went on to try and defend her Saffy Potter Memorial Sausage Catching title. She came away in third place this year, much to her annoyance, but the competition was stiff. Lovely to see everyone and chat to some new sighthound friends. 🐾❤️❤️
