  Club Open Day - For Potential New Members

                                  

No date set yet but will be around Jan/Feb @ Wickham Riding School

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

Come along to see how and where 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 Southdowns.

                                                   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!

Show 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  !!!
