NEW OUTDOOR TRAINING VENUE 2013
Lascombe Farm, Puttingham

We have been very busy over the last couple of months moving to a new outdoor training centre at Lascombe Farm, Puttingham (near Guildford) with excellent access from the M3, A3 and A31 (Hogs Back). On Saturday morning we run a short advanced obedience class followed by dog sport training; Mondioring, IPO and Working Trials.

Our social obedience classes and workshops will continue to run on Sundays at Winchfield and are held at the cricket field next to the Barley Mow Pub. This is an easy location to access and is an ideal settng for socialising for your dog.


NEW OBEDIENCE TRAINING VENUE 2013
St. Philip & St. James's Church Hall, Fleet

Due to local demand, we needed to locate another indoor dog training venue and eventually we found a slot on a Friday evening at the St Philip & St James Church Hall in Fleet. We now run a new puppy class from 6:30pm and an adult dog training class from 7:15pm.

The first of these classes started week commencing the 1st April 2013.

Everyone made an exceptional effort for the K9 Christmas party – especially the dogs pictured below.
There were Angels to Elves; Santa & his helpers to Fairies but the biggest entrance was Bear who arrived dressed as a Christmas cracker!

K9 MATTERS FUN DAY - May 2010
In aid of three local dog charities

What a truely fantastic day!

We couldn't have wished for better weather (neither too hot nor cold) and the canine display was nearly perfect! Plenty of people throughout the day came to visit and participate in many of the events and we managed to raise a grand total £1,816.

Attendance was great and so many beautiful and "well-behaved" dogs too! It was also fun to see so many younger handlers put the more mature handlers to shame. Frimley Park Radio performed a sterling job of hosting the event and the judges had (as always) the unenviable job of selecting the winners and culminating to Best in Show with Iona who is owned by Tarun Tyagi (see below) from Hook in Hampshire - well done Tarun!

Best in Show: Tarun Tyagi & Iona

We'd like to say that everyone was a winner today but unfortunately there weren’t enough rosettes and prizes for all of them!

The K9 Matters Demonstration Team overcame their nerves and put on a super display. Berkshire SAR Display Team showed us why they are an invaluable part of the emergency services. Our activity events, especially the agility, were kept busy throughout the day.

Above all, it was wonderful to have so many supporting the magnificent causes. We thank the donators who kindly contributed the prizes and/or loaned us equipment.

Everyone that helped with the preparations on the previous day went home absolutely soaked through. We are very lucky to have had such a committed bunch of volunteers that worked tirelessly in their spare time to ensure today would be a day to remember - thank you so much!
