Treacle came 3rd!!

Post by Lauram »

Today my sister and Treacle came 3rd in their first heel work to music competition. It was only a club comp but she did really well.

Treacle is one of tags puppies, kept only because as a pup she had an overshot jaw, the vets told us it could either get better or worse- it got better. She is a lovely dog and responds really well to positive methods.

It may have only been a club competition but for us she could've won crufts. :D

Thanks Noobs.
We are really pleased with Treacle. Heeling to music is such good fun, I tried it for the training not for the dancing, me and Po are all left feet and he tripped me up when we did walking weaves :D

Treacle is really good and picks things up very quickly, its also nice to see a terrier amongst all the collies!!!

Absolutely, I would do it for the training and the fun, and not for the dancing. No one needs to see me dance. :wink:
