Abbie Bear and I started training as a puppy at a different club. I had done obedience training and trialling over 15 years ago, so this time around I was just interested in the basics and using different techniques.

The Bear was a great learner but playing with friends was much more fun. I got bored and knew there had to be something more we could do so I enrolled at WDTS foundation agility and jumping classes. Abbie loved it and has learnt so much from jumping. She's more built for comfort than speed so jumping is done on a Sunday morning for a fun time.

However, I got the obedience trialling bug back and we have successfully completed and received our CCD title and one pass in Novice so far.

Abbie Bear is a gorgeous chocolate labrador. Friendly to all and extremely happy. I feel blessed to have her in my life.
