Progress with Seb the Sprollie

Things are improving by the day with my training resident, Seb.
A young Sprollie, he arrived full of energy and raring to go which I love in a dog !
I've made the most of his enthusiasm by channelling it into different games to assist with training and the two of us have really bonded.
Today, for the first time, he was allowed complete freedom in my garden while I was outside. Being a large and secure area, I felt confident that he would obey the "recall" command and the 8mth old dog didn't let me down ! 
In fields and on the common he is still on a long line prior to being given total freedom. However, the top photograph, with my foot nowhere near the end of the line, shows those days are fast approaching. Well done Seb !

When the wind blows from the East ....
............. you dress as a Muscovite, regardless of looks !!
Meanwhile one little dog just keeps on taking and taking and taking !!! This time my boarding guest Roxy appears to have lost her bed !

"Please ............. leave me in peace"

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 !
