CRUFTS 2014

So its only 3 weeks till Crufts 2014. The training team at Tahamasa Canine Academy will be heading off on the Thursday for three days of doggie Disney land. If you have never been to the biggest dog show on earth, and you have anything to do with dogs, you really need to make the trip. You will not be disappointed. Over the years we have met some very interesting people at Crufts and no doubt we will reacquaint ourselves with them and meet new friends this year. Its that type of place.
Dont be put off by thinking it is just for show dogs. Nothing could be further from the truth. We do not show dogs and we have a fun packed three days there every year.
Last year we joined the Kennel Club’s Accredited Instructors Scheme and attended some very interesting lectures which were given by some of the most prominent canine professionals around at the moment. This year we have lined a few more,

Developing Agility Instruction & Coaching in a changing sport.
Aggression, why we are were we are.
Temperament testing in a rescue environment.
Dangerous dogs, are puppy parties to blame?

Phew,... and this is supposed to be a holiday. I’m sure there will be some retail therapy thrown in for good measure. And at night we can relax with a glass of wine and recant on the days many activities.

Having obtained Kennel Club listed status this year for our training academy, we will attending with great interest the Good Citizen Dog Scheme arena to see the latest training ideas. This arena is always buzzing with some great entertainment. Don’t forget off course the heel work to music competitions in the main arena throughout the weekend and the agility competitions also. I particularly like the rescue agility competitions and the ‘Anything But a Collie’ agility competitions.




These particular shows demonstrate that its not just collies that can compete in agility, any dog that has been trained can take part and have fun.

So these are just some of the things that we will be enjoying at our time at Crufts. If you are involved with dogs in any way shape or form you really should not pass up the opportunity to come and see what its all about.
See you there March 6th - 9th.
