Polish gets Pampered in Prestwich

On Friday I booked Snoopy my polish lowland sheepdog for a groom at Woof ‘N’ Tumble on Whittaker Lane in Prestwich.
Snoopy had a full groom and nails clipped at a bargain price, the staff followed all my specific requirements and he came back well groomed and looking just great. I was very pleased and I would highly recommend them.

May Update

We had our CAP1 second session on the 4th of May which was really good. Matt has free shaped Teal to stand all four feet on the box which is very cute and little Cara took to the target stick really well doing a beautiful figure of eight.
Everyone enjoyed the day and Helen got her Kentucky Fried Chicken Treat for lunch! It's assessment day next time and we all have plenty to work with till then.

Daycare is picking up we have 3 new dogs, Molly, Inca and Harvey and another coming to view this week.

We have new classes starting in June. On a Friday we have another beginners mixed activities as all the others are full, another puppy socialisation class and also weekly ringcraft, there is also Heelwork to Music/Freestyle starting on a Wednesday at 6.20pm.

I am now only available for one to ones in the daytime Monday to Friday. I’m currently not doing any behaviour consults but we have someone we can recommend should you require that service.

I sent off for an order for the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme Stationary today including rosettes and it came to over £100!! I can understand why so many clubs didn’t renew this year with the new charges and membership increase. When I was only doing 2 nights at the Church I would have struggled to afford it, but then I wouldn’t have needed as much stuff as I do now.

As we will now have 18 classes per week we may have an opportunity for a qualified and experienced positive dog trainer to join our team in the next month or so.
