The Oadby inters last night turned up with different dogs last night. All of a sudden the dogs are grown up and feeling comfortable in the training environment which probably speaks volumes for how calm their owners must have been feeling. It is an absolute joy for me to see handlers with small dogs treat them as dogs rather than accessories and our Yorkie cross and Dachshund are proving that there is more to them than just the cute factor. That they have brains and personalities. Dog training is not just about well behaved dogs but it gives an opportunity for owners to build their dogs confidence, to give them coping mechanisms and all of theses lead to a well balanced dog.
I am looking forward to seeing how all our inter dogs progress over the next 12 months.
Last night was also about the Bertie Foundation certificate and all of the handlers achieved success in the various elements.
