Brilliantly run, loads of space, really friendly- I’ll definitely be back next year if you’ll have me!!

These events are such good value. There really is something for everyone to do and the children enjoy themselves nearly as much as the dog! I always come away having learnt something new and am eager to put it into practice. I love the seminars and find them so informative. We took up agility after trying it out on one of the days. They really are fun days out.
