now thats a bad advert for any club.

that said, I have my long term people, but they have pretty advanced dogs.

I know, but to be fair, I don't think it is all the trainers fault. He doesn't like to turn people away as he's the only class for miles and miles, sometimes there were as many as 15-20 dogs in the class with just one trainer.

I got the impression though that most people didn't do any training with their dogs between classes and they weren't really that enthusiastic - he would often ask for suggestions for different things to do (and even tried a few things himself) but no-one seemed interested.

The same guy runs our 'fun' agility classes and those are pretty good - he makes them fun for us and the dogs.

How do you fancy moving down this way and setting up a training class...I'm sure it would go down a treat

Its probably cheaper than you think as we don't have a train line to Edinburgh/Glasgow (well we don't have a train service full stop )
