Well apart from the cold... Bonnie's water froze in her bowl after 5 mins!!!

I thought it was good - nice to be on the move more, but not sure how it will work if 1 person has a big problem with a piece of equipment as there isn't much time to address it 1 to 1 without other people totally missing out on that exercise?

I like the fact that you move about and do different things, abnd that we have to think on our feet rather than stand about waiting to be told what to do all the time.

The more lively atmosphere is very good for Bonnie too and much more like a show - its a challenge but good practice!!

Roll on next week!

Thanks for that Linda.

Very good feedback.

It's a good point re any problem and is something we can keep an eye on. You're a great bunch and will look support each other so if one dog is struggling one week the others will be patient. As the groups are matched ability this should not be the same dog/handler each week. The handling was a little difficult last night but I wanted to see what you could all do and you all did well emoticon
