Sunday morning

Another busy week has seen me working at home, Hawkshead, Keswick and beautiful Pooley Bridge - my old home.
Jake was collected on Wednesday by his owners who'd driven over from Harrogate. Before they left, I demonstrated what I'd taught Jake before they took over. They were delighted when they realised that their dog was taking notice of them - "finally", as Jeff said.

Meanwhile I'm very pleased with Snap's progress. He had no real boundaries when he first arrived, even to the point where he thought he could just jump up on a chair! But those actions are long gone and he's developing into a really lovely dog, easy to teach and very responsive.

Behaviour cases for Border Collies and Patterdale Terriers have taken me all over Cumbria, as I said to begin with. All problems solved - even the Collie who decided she would try to bite me. Thankfully my reactions were even quicker!!

At the moment Spike is staying again. She's a lovely little dog - really great fun. Her and Snap get on very well.

Let me introduce you to Harry, an Italian Spinone. Harry arrived yesterday for a day's "try out", prior to any long term boarding. He's as gentle as he looks and those eyes .... ! Janet

Summer 2019 - sunshine and showers

How wonderful to see a dog express his enjoyment at being in water as much as Bear does. This youngster loved our muddy ditch and ran up and down constantly. But then came the washing and drying of Bear and the question "why did I allow him to do that ?!" Bear .............and then there was Murray ! Murray Heidi, a recent residential training youngster, loved to let off steam by jumping through the air for a tuft of grass. This Munsterlander was quite a sight, as her long legs allowed her to get quite a leap. Heidi Mick, enjoying some playtime in the heather ! Mick Bert is famous ..... well, in a way he is.
