We're Still Here !

After a few days away from the blog I thought I'd take the opportunity to recap on one or two things which have been going on.
Unfortunately Brook has hurt her foot, so at the moment it has a bright red bandage around it. I have no idea what she did, as she's has been with me so much of the time. My vets - Frame & Swift in Penrith - have carried out various tests and x-rays and are a little puzzled themselves. No breaks, bruises or cuts etc. Thankfully, she's slowly on the mend and I'll be taking her back on Monday.

As for Dexter. His training is really coming on very well and I'm pleased with his progress.
However, he enjoys a nocturnal stroll - made easier by his ability to open doors! For the past two weeks I've been sleeping on the settee in an effort to make him stay on his own bed and he has slowly got the message!! This is not just for my benefit but also for that of his owner, who, when reunited, should also be able to have an undisturbed night!

The heavy rain and gale force winds have now died down thankfully, which makes walking that little bit easier!

"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...
