Long line work with Pebbles

It's very unusual that nearly a month goes by without an update of what's been happening, but the truth is I've been rather busy !

I usually work 7 day weeks which, although tiring, are very enjoyable and obviously by choice. The days are full, what with "sheep chasing" lessons, day courses and training my residential guests.

In for a month is Pebbles, a Border Collie whose progress I'm very pleased with.

This young girl is very bright and eager to learn, which makes training her even more enjoyable. Having my own field and garth allows me the opportunity to train on a long line without the need to see who may be approaching across a field or along a footpath.

A rather proud looking teacher !

I thought I would include a second photo of Pebbles, which, although not in sharp focus, does in fact show that the Teacher is not averse to playing with the pupil !

Every lesson includes some fun !

I think Cedar has had enough ....... for now

Cedar, a Brittany Spaniel, has arrived for two weeks and judging by the photograph below, doesn't want to hear the word "walk" for an hour or two. What makes me smile is the positioning of her front paws !

Meanwhile Her Highness decided that she would like to try a little goodie I had in my pocket.
Honey's spring is quite remarkable when she wants something, judging by these pics.
Every dog entering the house is bigger than she is, but within a few moments she's introduced herself to them and they soon get to know who the boss is !

"Tell me in one word or less if you like it .....

..... I take it that's a "yes" then !"
