Springers will be performing 2 x 40min displays during the day.
We invite you to come along at 10.15 when you will see the mobile athleticism of handler and dog as together they negotiate the agility obstacles, not only one but several dogs passing each other skillfully around the course. In addition to this we will be giving a demonstration of our heelwork and obedience skills ? with a slight twist!!
The ring will be open to the public at various intervals throughout the day when we will be inviting people with pets, to have a go on the bale scurry and agility course. We guarantee that you will have a bundle of fun with us so please come along and enjoy yourselves.
We then invite you along to our second performance at 15.30 when we will have our flyball teams in motion, demonstrating the way we teach the sport to beginner dogs, and finally showing a?tournament style?race between the teams. F
