Congratulations to the Club’s President, Peter Dyer and his German Shepherd Dog, Jess on obtaining Tracking Dog Excellence (TDX) Award. This is the highest qualification in Working Trials. Peter has been working & training his dogs in this event for many years and is “over the moon” that he has finally achieved it – after 47 years!

Working Trials are a competitive sport based on the civilian equivalent of police dog work. They develop and test many canine skills – obedience and control, intelligence and independence, searching and tracking, agility and fitness. Trials are physically demanding for both dog and handler, but are also great fun and extremely rewarding.

More information on Working Trials can be found on the Kennel Club’s website under “Activites” read more
