My name is Jackie de Jong and my dog is
Jackie’s Indi HTM I Ex, FS I Ex. Pet name Indi.
Indi came into my life when I was
anticipating having quite a long time off work due to ill health, Chris decided
that I needed a puppy to help me through this period of my life.
Indi turned out to be a bit of a
supercharged collie! He certainly kept
me on my toes and made me keep going every day.
Indi is ISDS registered but surprisingly afraid of sheep! Fortunately he does love his dancing.
My illness prevented me from continuing my
career as a PA but as that door closed another opened as it allowed me to turn
my love of observing dogs and their behaviour into a business (www.k9training.me.uk) where I now teach
HTM and work with dogs with behavioural problems.
I also have three other dogs. Jessie, a Collie cross, has been my constant
companion over the last 13 years. She taught me a lot about dancing and took me
to Crufts to demonstrate HTM in 2007.
Jessie has also helped me so much in my behavioural work too.
Millie a Patterdale/Jack Russell who is
12ish (she is a rescue) whose job at home is being the house alarm!
Ziva, 11 months old, is Indi’s niece, who
is loving her training and will soon be blossoming in this sport too.
Indi has just qualified for the semi finals
for Crufts in 2014 - I am so very proud of him.
Both Indi and I are thrilled to have been selected as part of Team GB for the Open European Championships 2013 and I will be competing with Indi in both the Heelwork To Music and the Freestyle Championships. We wish all my
fellow team members and all OEC competitors GOOD LUCK!!!
