Raindrops keep falling on my head

Forget "reality" shows with bejeweled Chihuahuas being carried about in handbags. Real dogs climb mountains or big hills - just ask Toby and Honey. The former is in for boarding and yet again it was fantastic to see a dog arrive looking so happy to be holidaying with us. Now maybe it was the thought of going on some lovely walks ............

Now who do you think he could be looking at

......... or maybe it was the thought of a little private time with HRH. Judging by this expression on his face, I think it was the latter !

Of course it was Honey !

Meanwhile Stanley displays the benefit of being a bigger dog to Charlie, as he enjoys the view of Haweswater (believe me Charlie that's what he's looking at !)

"You should see this Charlie"

However, not to be outdone ....... !!

"It looks even better from here Stanley"

When Paul walked young Tally, he wasn't expecting to take half the fellside with him as well ! But her nose took her into places deep within the bracken and once out, a large bunch of greenery was attached to the long line. If ever a dog was camouflaged it's Tally !

Bracken, a path, some trees ...... Ohh ! and Tally !

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 !

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...
