Venue: Berkshire / Surrey TBC

Following on from last year's hugely successful event, 'More Tricks and Games to Play in Classes' can help you add fun, motivation and a healthy dose of gentle competition to your training. Stuck for some new ideas? If your classes need a boost or you are looking a new way to motivate owners and dogs in class training, this workshop is for you.
Dogs with basic training and beyond are welcome to attend the day with their handlers. Why not bring your own dog to enjoy some new training and fun. Places for dogs and handlers are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. Due to the nature of the workshop, it is not suitable for dogs with aggression problems towards people or other dogs. Those attending without dogs will be able to watch and learn from both Stella and those attending with dogs.
Handler places are £65, spectator places £55. Book before 9th April to receive £5 off.
