Film and TV Advanced class July 4th 2023
“I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with one of my own Norwich Terriers taking part in the TV and Film workshop. We got to cover a wide range of exercises from various levels and each dog and handler was able to work at their own level and were given guidance to progress in a way that suited each dog best. We've come away from the workshop fully motivated with some new ideas and highly recommend Sally's training workshops to anyone looking for a fun and educational day with their dog! Thankyou all for a lovely day.”
