My fields


The recent good weather has meant that Spring has finally landed and everything is turning green, not least my garden and fields.
And these two fields are really coming into their own at the moment.
With sheep and lambs dotting the landscape in every direction, the dogs main walk is always on the lead. But following a rest, the afternoon activity is in the fields where the dogs can play with each other, chase after a ball or simply catch grass - just ask one year old Nellie !

Nellie on tip toes

But for HRH,  the thought of exercise is tiring in itself !
Adding insult to injury, she evens sleeps right next to where Paul is working !!
Poppy the Cocker Spaniel began boarding in a quiet and reserved
manner, though by the time she was going home, I was seeing
the real Poppy.

Dave, a 2yr old Labrador. He's a young lad who can be a little
boisterous but doesn't have a bad bone in his body ! We all
like Dave - until he crashes into us !

Breeze stayed for 24hrs on a "try out". I knew she could be timid
with other dogs but by the time she went home, I was pleased to
see that there were positive changes taking place. Breeze is due to
return for some more confidence building and I look forward to seeing her again.

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 !
