Time for a rest...

The last 24 hours have been hectic.

Yesterday I had a telephone interview with the Cumberland & Westmorland Herald about the business, then this afternoon I had the photographer come to take some pics. We walked down the road and I think that he took some good ones of me, Maddy, Tilly .......and Tilly ! (more later). Anyway, I'll have to see either this weekend or next.   http://www.cwherald.com/
Yesterday evening I was on BBC Radio Cumbria's Dan Chisolm show. They wanted me to discuss aggressive dogs, which in the end, was fine. I was very nervous beforehand, but once in, the 10 minute slot went quickly and my nerves disappeared.

Dexter's owner came to collect him today. The place seems a little bit bigger in his abscence. I'm pleased to have had the experiance of training him. He is such a different dog to that which arrived a month ago. His lovely owner was delighted with the way he now is. The hard work is now down to her to ensure that she sticks to the commands and routines I set in place. She is a very loving owner and a person that I strongly believe will continue where I left off, as she understands it's for Dexter's benefit as well as her's.

The first warmth of winter allowed me a brief sit down outside this afternoon - in the company of another Tilly !! I have a lovely black Cocker staying with me for a fortnight. And yet again, the dog has taken after the owner - another lovely person. I'm sure there will be more pics to come, but for now....

Jaffa could sleep on a pin - though prefers guest dogs' beds!

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...

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.
