class at Easter, this is your chance to come and see what we do before
committing to a 10 week session (and hopefully more).

we train and meet some trainers and
members.
Your dog will need to have basic
obedience skills and have acceptable behaviour when in close contact
with other dogs.
Come armed with toys and treats
and you can have a go too!
We'll expect to see a sit stay and
basic off lead recall if you are interested in joining

Spring Fun Day
We're thinking of having a spring fun
day, a chance for a bit of light hearted competition between ourselves, at
a different outdoor venue, trying out skills learnt at club in a different
outdoor environment. Possibly end of March slightly different courses for
different ability agility dogs.
What do you think? Anyone
interested?

One of the hardest things for our dogs to do is generalise behaviours
learnt in any one environment to all environments. This is clear with dogs
that can do perhaps weaves / contacts in training but not in a show
situation.
The more dogs realise the behaviours they learn can transfer to
all environments, hopefully we'll see more of the same in show as we do
when training!!! We can but try!
Southdowns are holding an open day for potential New
Members

News
The show was once agin be held at Royal Victoria
Country Park, Netley, Southampton.
A beautiful location for a show, plenty of
walking space and sea views to boot!
All monies raised by trade stands were donated to our nominated charity
for the year - Hampshire
Air Ambulance. In our reckoning they are going to be the ones who will
winch us (and our dogs) up when we fall over while out walking
!!!
