April Showers

The dogs have again kept me on my toes and away from the computer, save for emails.
This past week has seen me busy with training and the results have really started to pay off.
The top photo shows me yesterday with Bobby, another Cocker Spaniel. He's staying with me for just over a week to improve his training and manners, having shown disrespect to his owners. In truth he's been as good as gold with me, listening to my commands - and knowing that I mean it !
Yesterday we both became rather wet in the heavy showers that welcomed in a new month. But a few towels later and he was dry!
Bobby is shown further down the page as well - as I carry young Honey in my arms!
It's been a pleasure to see how this little dog has developed since she first arrived.  Her confidence with other dogs, the way she returns to the whistle, and the fact that I am now getting her to sit and stay prior to recall. Brilliant.

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.
