Training, training, and even more training
Will and his dogs spend a great deal of time honing their skills both at home and with their trainer Kathryn Stickney, a senior GB international who has represented and captained her country at the World Championships.
Every good agility handler will stress the importance of that special bond with your dog. There needs to be two way trust and a mutual understanding that comes from training and down time spent together.
Will and his dogs are inseparable! Rudi, Aston and Wizard are essential members of the Bacchus family first and agility dogs second. The bond that this creates between handler and dogs means they know what each other is thinking on the course.
Mixing with the Stars!
