Discover Dogs London Earl's Court 2011
The dogs made me so proud! With joint help of our wonderful walking / training assistance, Diana and Fernanda, we managed to put a lovely 1 man + 13 dogs routine together and it worked like magic! I think all the hounds had a bit of showmanship in them beforehand - all 4 demos were fantastic with occasional tiny mistakes that were hardly noticeable. Hardest job was to pick up the shortlist of dogs for the demo as many of our regular trainees / walking companion dogs would make a good team member just as well.
We took the whole 20 minutes in the Training Arena with the hounds demonstrating how to walk to heel, emergency stop and fetch, come and lay down. They were fantastic with the toy and food distractions introduced and worked as a team disposing of the fake poo, bringing a set-up runaway dogs back etc.
Why wouldn't you see it all for yourself, after all, audience tripled every time we were in the ring:

And the most exciting news for us as well as for all the owners of our pooches came right after our first appearance in the arena: Kennel Club wants us to bring the Good Boys to Crufts in 2012!
Well done to all of our owners who Handfed their dogs to the exemplary attitude making them into the stars they truly are!
