Summarizing a great year. New puppy in the pack (Rowan), puppy course and other courses online, first prize in open class cold game test with Keen, teaching in Canada and interesting discussions. Looking forward to an exciting 2024 and visiting Canada again – teaching two weekend courses this time.
From all of us to all of you: a very, merry Christmas!
We have created a template which we call "Boost What You Want," where we offer you our best tips and structure for a great training plan.
Last day in Canada, today we worked on the stop whistle and casting and dogs and handlers were progressing really well 😍 Now I’m at the airport on my way back home, but I hope I’ll be able to come back and stay for longer because I’ve had a great time.
Enter your email address via the below (or link in the bio) and we will email you the plan completely free of charge!
