2017
This has been a very busy year not just with our training classes but with all the charity work we have done this year, we are very proud to be able to help out these worthy charities.
We are now taking our winter break once again in our favourite place in Spain; really pleased to be able to return and recharge ready for 2018.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all our pupils who have attended our classes and have enjoyed all your lovely comments about our school.
We will be back in the new year ready to start again and look forward to another busy year helping everyone with their dogs.
PAT, COLIN, GUY AND BODIE
WISH EVERYONE A
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018

This is our early doggy Christmas party to celebrate another wonderful year training with all our friends old and lots of new this year. We had some fun and games and a good few mince pies!
We were also very proud to award all those shoe boxes filled with lovely goodies for all the rescue dogs at ALMOST HOME DOG RESCUE run by David and Lauren Sutton who came along to accept our gift to them.
We hope to be able to help this wonderful charity out with their fundraising again in the new year.
