Dog training club to put on display at show

MEMBERS of Nuneaton Dog Training Club are to put on a dog obedience display which includes a dog packing its own suitcase at this year’s Market Bosworth Show.

Gloria Bonnell, who leads the display team and spent several years previously as a team member, said: “The team of 12 dogs is chosen to show that a variety of breeds can be trained and that dogs with different levels of experience can take part. This year the team includes two boxers, a bulldog and a Yorkshire terrier as well as the more traditional collies. The display features a beach scene which includes a dog packing a suitcase and others playing ball and having fun in the sand.”
