CERTIFICATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS
Bobby & POLLY:
My journey into canine hoopers
When I adopted Bobby, I needed different training skills to help find the balance between his spark for life and being part of a household.
We bonded by going to behaviour training classes, agility training and trick dog classes. This year, we achieved our first title: Trick Dog Starter (TK.S).
Polly joined the household a couple of years after Bobby and had a personality that demanded pats, unrestricted access to the couch and any walks being on her terms.
It was another lesson for me in working with the personality of all the canines which make up a home.
