Every year, PDDTS enter teams in the Hampshire Rally, a local inter-club team obedience competition. The event is great fun and a super opportunity for our members to practise their skills and spend time together!
2023
Another cracking event despite our ever-shrinking team being hampered by COVID and last minute unavailability! There was plenty of drama with some handlers working multiple dogs (including dogs they had never worked before) but there was lots of fun and learning and a lovely breakfast and shared lunch - thanks to all who contributed and helped with making teas and coffees throughout the day. There were also some successes with our All Sorts team earning rosettes and Derrie and Bella being placed in their class. PDDTS was also recognised for our hard work bringing new handlers into the sport of competitive obedience winning the West End Newbie Cup for the most new handlers in obedience - well done to all involved in making this happen!
