Writtle College Dog Club
	After a long summer where we were not able to make it to many lessons, and Bob developing a poorly leg we don't get to every session any more. Bob still loves going and it is valuable for the socialising aspects so we'll carry on and attend as often as possible. The obedience lessons were reorganised in the summer into intermediate and advanced classes rather than everyone being mixed ability. This has improved things a lot and Bob doesn't get the same chance to get bored with what we are doing. The times for the agility class have changed to the point where Anne can no longer take Bobby, although Bob did love going to agility he was being restricted more and more so as not to hurt his poorly leg so they probably would have stopped soon anyway. It is just unfortunate that the choice of date was made for us. At least can still see his aunty Rachel (trainer) at the obedience lessons even if he doesn't get carried around and cuddled as much.
Bob's Classmates for the Obedience Training
	Exercises: Here some of the dogs demonstrate that with or without their owners they are steady in the down position. it is difficult to see because of the deep shade but there are ten dogs quietly waiting for their owners to return.
	Freddy is quite vocal. He is often the smallest dog in class but never the least noticed.
	Greg has been coming a while and used to be in the 'other' class.
	Mack is sporting his high tech cool coat during the warmth of the summer (yes there was one day).
	Nellie long time friend of Bob from the agility class. Now in the same obedience class. Always on the hunt for a fuss from any of the owners.
	Saffy in true Collie fashion can do everything, and do it well.
