A DOG trainer has introduced an energetic new programme for pets and their owners.
Suzanne Corgan puts dogs through their paces
Suzanne Corgan will be putting the pooches through their paces at Ugley village hall for eight weeks from May 21.
The 39-year-old set up Stocking Pelham-based Paws Galore 13 years ago and has just started using the energetic Rally O programme.
She said: “Rally O is a new fun sport for you and your dog to take part in together. It’s like circuit training for dogs, combining obedience exercises with agility.
“Dog and handler negotiate a course of 10-20 stations with different exercises to perform. There are three levels with 50 different exercises in total. Level one is the beginner stage.”
Suzanne said: “Handlers are allowed to encourage and praise their dog as much as possible without penalty. All dogs – purebred, mixed breeds and dogs with disabilities – are encouraged to participate.”
As well as running the courses, Suzanne offers a walking service, dog sitting and pet taxi facility.
The proud owner of golden retrievers Charley and Nico also advises on canine behavioural issues.
