North East Pet Expo

Devana Dogs were invited to the North East Pet Expo at Thainstone Auction Mart in Inverurie to do an Agility Display. Not the easiest of things to do in an Indoor Venue and on a hard (carpeted) floor. 
We decided to showcase what we had to offer in our life skills classes as well as a display of some of the skills required in Agility using cones, jump wings and short tunnels. We thoroughly enjoyed the event and our dogs featured in both the Press and Journal and the Evening Express on Monday 25th Feb.

Devana Dogs were invited to do an Agility Display at Turriff Show, this was the first time we had done a display for a show this size, it was pretty nerve wrecking between site visits and planning. 

First we had to decide what to do, we wanted to showcase our competing dogs at their various levels but we also wanted to let the audience participate.

First we put up a course which could be converted to 2 levels, Grade 3 for our dogs just starting out and Grade 6 for our more experienced dogs. This went very well with all dogs performing very well. 

After this we set up a very fast relay first with us running our dogs then with people from the audience running. 

We had a great day and really enjoyed the experience, we hope to be invited back again next year.
