📣 Trial Announcement 📣

First of all, thank you to everyone who has bought a 🎫 and entered the trial.

This trial will be based around real-life scenarios and will require clinical thinking, smart handling, composure, and nerve from both handler and dog!

I’d recommend bringing a towel and some spare clothes… 💦

Most importantly, everyone is going to have fun, and both dogs and handlers will enjoy it!

Saturday

🕗 8:00am – Puppy Briefing

🏃‍♂️ Contender will run after Puppy for safety reasons. Please be on site from 11:00am.

Sunday

🏆 Conquer will run from 1:00pm onwards.

As always, the usual rules apply.

🚫 There is strictly NO drinking, smoking, drugs, or stupidity on site. Anyone found doing so will be escorted off site and receive a lifetime ban.

🐕 No dogs are to be off lead at any point.

🚗 Parking will be next door again. Please respect the land, keep it tidy, and use the bins provided.

🎥 The entire trial will be filmed from start to finish, and Showcase will also be on site offering media packages.

I’ll be announcing the decoys, judges, and guest decoys shortly — including a special guest decoy joining us from the USA 🇺🇸.

Most importantly…

🔥 Have fun and enjoy the experience
::: …

🔥 Wednesday Bite Night 🔥

Join us every Wednesday for Bite Night a fun, safe, and structured environment for you and your dog to work, learn, and enjoy the process together.

Whether you’re focusing on:
• Puppy development
• Grip work
• Environmental exposure
• Sport preparation
• Security training
• Or just having fun

…all levels are welcome. It doesn’t matter what your dog knows (or doesn’t know) this is about building confidence, experience, and enjoyment.

🐕 Each dog gets 2 working rounds
👥 We typically run with 2 experienced decoys
🔄 Decoys are usually consistent, with occasional variation

⚠️ Limited spaces each week to ensure quality working time for everyone.

Come down, put in the work, and enjoy the atmosphere. …

There are always prep days for dogs… but what about the handlers?

We’re introducing a Trial Prep Day designed specifically for YOU.

This day will cover:
• Handling skills and techniques
• Theory and practical tips
• How to advocate for your dog in every situation
• Smarter, “outside the box” handling approaches

Everything we cover is aimed at helping both handler and dog perform at their best on trial day.

We’ll also run a mock trial, giving you the chance to put your new knowledge into action finishing with a long send mock trial to really test your progress.

✔ All dogs will experience stations
✔ All handlers will receive feedback

Whether it’s your first trial or you’ve competed multiple times across different sports, there’s something here for you. Even experienced handlers benefit from a fresh set of eyes to spot small flaws that make a big difference later.

Stay tuned for dates and ticket release 🎫
