AWARDS
Every year our efforts are judged in our final 'Fun Day' Event. This event is where our dogs can compete against their fellow classmates in a range of activities. It is during this time that a range of other awards are also presented, that honour not just the efforts of the individuals and their dogs, but that reflect the spirit of the club as a whole.
