Oldies hit the peaks

Paul was out and about for some considerable time this morning with Robbie, Jaffa and Roma. Having parked in Dufton he then opted for a walk onto the Pennines - rather bleak and lonely according to him.
                      Meanwhile Dexter and Brook were back in the classroom...albeit with seperate lessons.
D., as he's being called within the family, was on and off the lead - to heel! It wasn't all training though. We had a great playtime together in a local wood and the enjoyment he was having was so obvious. He is so different to the dog that arrived just 9 days ago. He welcomes all the family when they arrive and is so comfortable with any other dogs - brilliant!
And Brook? What can I say about Brook? She is certainly going to be missed when her owners collect her! Her training continues to be successful and she is not allowed to get away with much - no more missing socks! She is still beside herself when she delivers a slipper or shoe to me, though the praise she receives and the word "dead", immediately make her realise that she doesn't really want it that much!

"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 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

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
