It's cold. Very cold.

Since late November we have been "enjoying"snow and some very cold temps. At the moment -8pm - it is -10c and the temps have not been above freezing for several days.
But the Eden Valley is one of the nicer areas to be in if you're going to have snow. Just look at the photos below.

But wearing numerous layers, I'm out with the dogs whatever the weather.

Recently I've had a "training" dog stay with me. Snap stayed for two weeks and was collected on Sunday. I was very pleased with the progress achieved and Snap's owners were also delighted.
Last week Roly, a real Heinz,stayed with me for a few days boarding. If ever there was a time for boarding in a person's house this is it. Night time has seen the barometer drop to -18c!

Tara, a regular guest stayed for two nights. She really is so pleased when she gets out of the car and sees me again. It's a wonderful feeling.

Then tomorrow I have Ginny coming for Christmas. A 12yr old Lab, her owner is unable to take her with her when she stays with relatives.

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...

Summer 2019 - sunshine and showers

How wonderful to see a dog express his enjoyment at being in water as much as Bear does. This youngster loved our muddy ditch and ran up and down constantly. But then came the washing and drying of Bear and the question "why did I allow him to do that ?!" Bear .............and then there was Murray ! Murray Heidi, a recent residential training youngster, loved to let off steam by jumping through the air for a tuft of grass. This Munsterlander was quite a sight, as her long legs allowed her to get quite a leap. Heidi Mick, enjoying some playtime in the heather ! Mick Bert is famous ..... well, in a way he is.
