The dates are provisional, but we will confirm them ASAP for you as I know you need time to plan the week. This year our plan is to focus less on Agility and Flyball, and more on Discipline and interactive games with our dogs both on-site and on country walks which are planned in the surrounding areas and on the seaside. New participants, but old and tested format, all taking in account your comments after our last camping trip. And Linda, Laura and Anna are on board! So you are in the best hands for the week of training, fun, adventure and dogs in Summer 2009! Need more info? Wish to register for updates? Just email us on dimadogs@hotmail.com

Dear Dima,

Our last fair was a great success and had 10,000 attendees. We thank Dima and the Good Boy Dog School for being a part of it and helping to make this possible.

The next 'Perfect Day' is on September 13th, 2009 and though it sounds far away, it's not. So we thought we should get in touch with you now as we hope you would like to be participate again and see if there's any thoughts you may have for this year.

As you know A Perfect Day is a London street fair on Avenue Road in Swiss Cottage in aid of children with complex special needs in London through the Swiss Cottage School. This facility has an abundance of awards for the work they do, but a lack of funding. This fair is put together by volunteers in the community wanting to 'give back.'

We have done well in the past , but we need to generate more funds than ever, so our plans are growing with the kind of event this has become. For instance, our plans are to have a professional stage where local bands and acts will play throughout the day and even street artists. We are the also looking for ways to make the day even more memorable and exciting for the London community .

There's also sponsorship opportunities if you or anyone you may know would like to support us even more and this includes the opportunity to add advertising novelties or leaflets in the thousands of bags we will be giving away on the day. We will also be inviting local retailers to put a 'god parent's' or 'patron's' add in our brochure at 50 pounds or 100 pounds.

Many thanks,

Marsha Nuriya Lee

Two things I want to tell you if you ever thought about taking your dog training – Firstly, there’s no reason why you should leave with a problem dog. Keep the dog, and remove the problem! And while you do it – have fun! Come along and learn how exciting dog training can be!

The new term has started! For all the newcomers, we will be recruiting new students from 19th February. So, see you there?
