New Training Venue= much happiness!

Thatcham DTC have a new venue and it is fabulous! More of a drive for me but totally worth it. Great flooring for the dogs to work on, brilliant lighting, new sidewalls, hard standing for the cars. I cant speak more highly of it. The effect it has on the general atmosphere is huge, the dogs find the footing much easier than before and can see everything perfectly. I feel happy to start raising the jump height for Detour here as he can see everything he needs to.

We had our first training session on it Monday evening, I worked Detour in the 7pm class. The level of dogs is higher in general as most of the dogs have been working for a few years. I am so proud of how Detour coped, his handling in general is pretty good and he coped with most things we did, really well. His weaves are lovely and there were no entries he struggled with although he did pop out when I ran off and left him in the weaves so this is something we will have to work on. In general he was so fabulous- I love that dog!

I also ran Boo and he was great over the surface, really fluid and fast, he is such a lovely dog to work, ethusisatic, happy. He really is the most special dog and the one who I just 'get'. He means an awful lot to me.

Anyway, all is well in the household, the dogs are healthy and happy, Hoax pregnancy seems to be progressing fantastically and I cant wait for the babies to arrive. We are beginnning to get swamped in piles of vetbed, newspaper, boxes of stuff etc etc. Cleaning time and setup next week and we will be ready!
