Dippy's packing his bags.

The last 7 days have flown by. I've managed to get a handful of nice photographs sorted out which should show that nobody is too homesick ! (maybe Stella is, judging by her expression as she loses out to Molly!).
Dippy has enjoyed some very worthwhile residential training over for the past 2 weeks and is due to leave tomorrow. I have typed out full instructions for his owners on how to keep up with his training, and will be spending a couple of hours with them when they arrive. I will want them to see how I do "this and that" and to make sure they have the confidence to continue once I'm no longer around.
As with so many owners, I have every confidence with them.
I've had great progress with Stella and Molly. Both been walked off lead and to heel and the time spent with other dogs has really been of benefit to Stella who has become far more relaxed. She was quite nervous on arrival and was anxious when other dogs approached her or she felt corned. To see her behaviour lately has been very rewarding and a real joy.

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 !

Bailey goes back to school

My daughter Rachel has been working with me for some months now, both walking and and very occasionally, helping to train dogs (with the owners knowledge). Two weeks ago, she was given the responsibility of turning around the behaviour of young tearaway Bailey, a Cocker Spaniel. He arrived pulling, no recall and having absolutely no eye contact. But with persistence and a little hard work, things are really starting to change !
