They arrived in their team uniforms looking very smart, they as always make Obedience look so easy, it was great to see them relaxed and working their dogs to perfection. You will often see some of them train at the club on a Sunday but it is when they are together you really get to see the joy it brings training their dogs to such a high standard.
Next we had John Ward work through the “Good Citizen Test”with some of his class. All of those in the demonstration were once looking for assistance to help with their family pet….. And the achievements are amazing;
it just proves it is possible!!!
Jane Corcoran Judged a Beginner Agility & Jumping Competition, This Competition is aimed towards those people who have never
competed before, This Class Competition holds all the requirements that are involved in a show, from registering to course times, faults if any and Results.It was great to see the support given to each other yet with a hint of competition!
The best way to describe this is to see the pictures…. See the link below.

Watch out for all these new competitors in the future…….

Finally Thank you to all the experienced Agility people who came
with their dogs to participate in the day’s demo, Thank you to all that worked
the Demo from Timing, Scribing, course assisting and the two wonderful ladies
who kept us fed and watered. Thank you to john Higgins for yet again catching
the day’s excitement on film!

Till next year!!!!!

Evey and Moya O'Kennedy
Ziggy and Olivia McGovern
Roxy and Sheila Smith
Ashindie and Kathryn Hennigan
Wigan and Carol Cronin
Darcy and Sarah Glass

Day was good! And although
weather was brutal it didn't dampen any spirits. Thanks to Dave who brought all
the ladies and dogs on a long walk before the exam so everyone's nerves had well
and truly settled. Mark O'Brian was great, put everyone at ease and Pauline was his
helper with Solo being the 'distraction' dog.
All passed with flying colours
everyone went home happy if a little sodden!
