Discover Dogs at Earls court london

Hi
We went to a big place in London ,me and my bro Ted .It was full of poeple and dogs !My mum said it was called Discover Dogs and is a big exhibition where poeple can go and meet different breeds of dogs and ask owners and breed clubs about the pros and cons of owning that breed to help poeple to choose a breed that will suit them and their lifestyle.Lots of animal charities have stands too ,so they can raise awareness of what they do and how to volunteer ,adopt a pet ,raise funds or book speakers .lots of trade stands smelling wonderful .I thought as one had treats at nose level it was self service but as i went over mum used the "Leave it " command .Darn!!
Me and Ted were invited by our Rincraft club to do a demonstration on "Show dog training " . Mum was a bit nervous about this as some days i bounce but i behaved myself .

We had to walk around the ring to "Theres no business ,like show business!"and then it was like a cross between ringcraft and a show where our trainer Lyn, went over all the dogs individually whilst the commentator discussed with another lady about training presentation of the dog and handler .etc

Earlier in the day i did a "Trial session "on The Blue Cross stand.Later the assessor walked round with mum and me to see how i coped with food stands (!) other dogs ,poeple ,loud noises ,being brushed etc. Mum was pleased when they said I had passed !!Im now qualified to go into schools and youth groups to give talks (well mum does the talkie bit -i just get fussed!!)The talks are free and volunteers around the country visit groups to teach about safety around animals ,responsibility care and choosing a pet.Its all done in a fun way with games and things .(Mum says if anyone wants to book a talk to go onto The Blue Cross website and enquire !)

Me on the stand looking chilled out!
