How a move to Bryncrug led to Sally barking up the right career tree

When Sally Friswell brought her first dog, a border collie called Bob, she took him to puppy training lessons, then enrolled him onto agility classes "as a way of keeping his brain occupied and as a hobby for me". Twenty years on, that hobby has turned into a flourishing career, with Sally running one of north Wales's most successful dog training clubs. Dysynni Dogs , which has just celebrated its tenth anniversary, provides classes in obedience, scentwork and agility.
