Enjoying his first experience of Autumn, 8 month old Mick tries desperately to catch any leaf as it falls to the ground. Initially he was wary of other dogs and lacked confidence, having been too nosy as a pup with the wrong dog ! But Paul helped the little lad come out of himself and at the same time created a dog who is energy and mischievousness personified, as shown in two of the pics. So near yet so far Mick's step ! Now they're falling !
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.
