An Alloa man and his dog won two top awards for outstanding improvement and skills in dog handling.

Bryan Robertson and his dog Shadow won Senior Dog Handler of the Year as well as Therapy Dog Handler of the Year at Top Dog Training’s successful annual Awards Night in the Albert Halls, Stirling last week Wednesday(12 November) where organisers also raised funds for a range of charities.

Organiser of the event and owner of Top Dog Training Jim Fleming collected funds for Strathcarron Hospice and PDSA Stirling, raising over £1200.

Jim, who has been a dog trainer for almost three decades, was delighted with how the night proceeded.

He said: “It was 11 years ago that I started my company Top Dogs Training and our Awards Night. It was good to acknowledge the staff who have been involved and showed commitment and dedication. The event has become a great social as well.”
