Meet Pixie, my little 8 week old Cocker Spaniel puppy. Pixie is into everything and the fact that she comes from Working lines means that she's only going to become nosier and faster with it ! As the only person who feeds her, lets her out and hugs her (!), the bond is already developing as I hear the patter of small paws following me around the house ! Meet Pixie Pixie's first day - and looking a little startled by all the attention ! Marley stayed with us for almost a month while his owners were enjoying the Australian summer. He is great company to have around and would regularly wander into my office in the evening, just to check on what I was doing before returning to his bed ! Marley Lulu is the divas diva ! Not content with her ample bed, I would find her curled up and comfortable on my chair ! Lulu It's not every day that we have a Ralph come to stay and even rarer for a Jug to be with us. But this Jack Russell x Pug was wonderful company...
I'm Janet Ardley, a professional dog trainer and behaviourist living in the beautiful Lake District National Park here in Cumbria.
I offer residential home boarding, training and help for dogs with behavioural problems.
I'm also very busy training dogs not to chase sheep and livestock.
The purpose of my blog is to give an insight into my working life and hopefully reflect the great fun and happiness I get from working with mans' best friend.
