The Committee

Ian Pettigrew

Ian Pettigrew

Ian and Buddy (a Border Collie) started training at High Peak in 2021, having previously known nothing about agility other than occasionally watching Crufts on TV. Buddy had become increasingly mischievous during lockdown and Ian was looking for more ways to stretch Buddy intellectually.

Agility provided the perfect answer, and has given Buddy a job, which has resulted in him being a much happier and settled dog. They compete in some local agility competitions and - one day - would love to have a start-line wait and get a bit faster!

Ian joined the committee in 2023
