|
|
I am Kirsty and I am owned by 3yr old Pound Rescue ‘Fudge’ I am based just west of Livingston but I am currently looking around for a new group to take Fudge along to as I just feel the group I am at the moment isn’t right for us I am happy to travel as far as Cumbernauld for the Sunday Session… How does the group work though? Is there a space for me and my wee monkey? Is it set amount of weeks or ongoing? xxx |

hey kirsty and fudge and welcome. i am quite sure there will be a space for you and john the trainer will tell you. in general we work on a month basis and yes we go on every week, with generally two weeks holiday for summer and christmas. why don't you pop along and meet us before deciding ...... you can sit in and watch a few classes and see if we would suit you and your wee monkey! sundays run from 12 til 3pm
i along with my daughter have 4 cockapoos , cross cockers spaniels and poodles, gypsy inca echo and 11 week old delta.
pop a photo up of fudge ...... it would be lovely to see him/her..... oh and what kind of dog is fudge? _________________ Cockapoo's...a little of this, a little of that..........
the perfect combination!

Welcome to the forum Kirsty
,As Janis has said classes run on a monthly basis and I suggest you pop in to see what we do.
We are not breed specific, we are not trying to send anyone to Crufts but we are there to relax and enjoy the classes and ensure the dogs do too.

Thanks
Fudge is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier He was well overdue for being put to sleep when we rescued him, he came all the way from wakefield to a rescue centre in Glasgow where we found him shortly after we lost our previous dog to cancer Fudge has been with us since the 21st of July and we just love him to pieces xx
And I will do you one better than photographs Here is a video I made of our time so far xx

hey kirsty just watched your you tube link.....fudge is gorgeous. i am sure he and you will fit in fine. i liked john's comments about not sending folk to crufts ......definately not with my gang! we are a fairly relaxed lot and speaking for myself and my daughter we have attended classes for just over 4 years as the dogs really enjoy it and it is great to keep them socialised.....looking forward to meeting you both ! _________________ Cockapoo's...a little of this, a little of that..........

Awww lovely dog. Happy to hear he got a good home instead of you know what!
I'm Lesley and I have a 1 yr old staffie, Alfie. We go to classes on a Sunday so maybe see you there. The classes are great fun (even when he's doing nothing he's told) and a good way of socialising the dogs. |
