Well it's one BIG kennel holiday for us pooches here at the National Dog Training Centre, but what do our owners think to it all. Our reporter Michael Bark went to find out...
Testimonials
Nick with Zac and Jake "I've been coming to the National Dog Training Centre for about 5 months now. We spend a couple of hours together, the dogs enjoy it. We've been doing everything; tracking, search work, man work, obedience, agility kit. Generally, the whole lot. When me and Zac first turned up here he was roughly 10 months old, he's progressed from basic 'sit' 'stay' etc on to doing all the agility work, searching, tracking, now doing the man work. Basically he's a rounded dog that's under control"
Simon with Paco "Since I've been here I've done some agility work. He's done a lot of obedience work which we've built up from the start; basic sitiing and staying. He's then progressed from there on to long sits, agility work and so on. We're just moving on to some tracking work at the moment and hoping to progress more with that. It's really great fun, we love coming down here me and Paco. Paco likes seeing the other dogs, he loves to run round and meet other people. Likewise me, love to meet other people that like to do the same sort of thing."
Ollie and Zak "I've been coming to the training centre for about 2 months. When we're here we're doing tracking, man work, obedience work, we're working the obstacles, all general dog behavioural stuff. A mixed bag really, very interesting work. When we're here we do have fun, Zak has come on an awful lot because of the different types of training methods used here, something I'm new to, and he is coming together with it now. I enjoy mixing with the other guys, they're all from different walks of life. We get on extremely well, we're all different standards and it all seems to come together, yes."
So what ARE you waiting for? BOOK UP NOW, you can even bring your owners along!!
