Fun Fun Fun !

Another eventful day with 6mth old Border Collie Robbie being introduced properly to Dexter. Age was the dominating trait - or should I just say they were puppies!
An hour of running and playing on the lawn (and in Paul's vegetable plot!) burnt alot of energy off.
They both had seperate walks and training sessions but it was lovely for me to see Dexter starting to really relax. I am very pleased with the way he has developed over the past week. The dog that pulled his owner down my drive has long gone, replaced by one who is now listening and doing as he's told - and not pulling me anywhere!!
While the two big dogs were chasing each other, little Brook was doing her Wimbledon impression - namely sitting and watching their every move while at the same time swivelling her head to keep up. She is such a little character, full of mischief - if you let her get away with it.
Robbie completes the trio that are currently staying and he's just slotted in again - he gets on so well with the other two.
I have to say that the three dogs I have at present are all lovely animals.....if only life was always like this !

The Italian Connection - Harry the Spinone

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

"Come on Chief, smile !!"

"Come on Chief, smile !!" That look from 9 mth old Chief tells me I'm lucky to take even one photograph of him ! Chief is just one dog who has stayed with me since the New Year, either for boarding or residential training. Nearly all can be seen on my Cumbria Dog Training Facebook page, and with a husband who is more than cabaple Peanut enjoys the fells. Meet Nala, a beautiful Portuguese Water Dog, who, at 7 mths old is still displaying alot of puppy traits. She's staying for a 24 hr try out and has fitted in really well. I'm pleased to be able to say that Peanut is staying with me again. This young Cocker is such a lovely girl who makes herself right at home and gets on so well with everyone, both people and dogs. And finally, time for my own girls !

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog

Over the years I've worked with most breeds, from Akitas and Rottweilers through to Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers. Now I can mention another breed - a Czechslovakian Wolfdog. Meet Kyra, who I'm just beginning to train. As these are early days, the long line is still required to prevent her running off but this is only for short term use until I know with complete confidence that she will respond to the recall. Talking with Kyra's owner Not a common sight in the English Countryside On a different note, Paul was contacted at the start of the week by the Farmers Guardian, asking to use his very powerful photograph from one of my sheep chasing lessons. It features on the "Sheep" page on my website and previously featured in an article on me last year. The dog featured is a Presa Canario x Rottweiler. And I can honestly say that no sheep was bitten or harmed. An all too common sight caused by thoughtless owners But to finish off, let me introduce y...
