The Pennine Training Area Open Working Test, 2nd April 2023

By Karen Parkinson

The Pennine Training Area held their 2nd working test of the season on Sunday 2nd of April, at The Hoghton Woodfold Shoot. This was for Open dogs and consisted of 8 very challenging tests over varied terrain – woodland, cover crops, meadow and a river. The four judges each saw 37 dogs in the morning, and the same dogs again in the afternoon with marks out of 20 judged on style, drive, handleability, a work like manner and delivery of the dummies to hand. This event was very kindly sponsored by CSJ Specialist Canine Feeds and AK Gundog Accessories. A fabulous day was had by all.

The award winners were:

1st –  Chris Kettle with Ristbrow Bertie

2nd- Gary Collier with Kayteridge Tusk

3rd – Scott Marland with Jaycote Game Brook

4th – Gary Collier with Hawksgarth Maddison

We were delighted to hear from Jane Hoare, trustee at Service Dogs UK, regarding the CSJ treats gifted to their most recent graduates.

“The treats have gone down incredibly well with our veterans, fosters and dogs. Here is a picture of our latest veteran/dog accredited partnerships receiving their treats after a gruelling 2 day public access test. Their eyes lit up when they were given these as a ‘well done from CSJ’. Thank you so much for your generosity, Ceri.”

SDUK provide veterans from the Armed Forces and Emergency Services suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder the benefit of specially trained psychiatric assistance dogs.

Our dogs, from rescue, are carefully selected to help the Veterans. We train dogs to the highest standard, being a fully accredited member of Assistance Dogs International (ADI).

Once a rescue dog has completed their basic training and assessment, the Veteran will be training their own partnered dog for a period of 9 – 12 months under the guidance of professional dog trainers. This journey greatly benefits both the Veteran and the dog.

We welcome applications from men and women of the Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Coastguard (MCA) and RNLI.

As an organisation we actively wish to raise the awareness of the mental health danger of PTSD to our brave men and women on the front line, be it abroad or at home; in the military or emergency services.
