Flatastic Spring 2026

After a busy winter helping my friend in the North of Netherlands with her litter – it was time to take a lovely break out of everyday life. What better choice than a trip to France – joining the training camp of Hondenschool Lek & Ijsel at the well known place of Moulin d’Achat.

The historic building & car with 3 working Flatcoated retrievers from the left Tricksywood’s Flicka Bodinka, Flatastic Red Strength and Flatastic Black Peace

With a lovely group of Flatcoated, Toller, Golden and Labrador retrievers we enjoyed a lovely 3 days of training under the guidance of Rob Dings & Elvira van Burken. Far casts, over waterways with diversions and distractions, blinds in a forest and we were playful with a large foxskin dummy.

Here are some of the beautiful photos kindly taken by Barbara Geers:

Thank you Rob, Elvira & all participants for a lovely mini holiday.

Thank you also staff at the Moulin.
