Chocy Boy

Jack arrived here recently for a month of training with me. He arrived rather out of control with rather distraught owners hanging onto the end of a lead, this, unfortunately, is a common sight for me but luckily for the many owners I see an easy problem to overcome.

Jack is now walking to heel, on a slip lead, sitting and recalling when asked. He still has his stubborn moments but we're working on them!!

Grooming is new to Jack and he actually quite likes it especially when there is a reward at the end of it, he is looking rather smart now as the grooming has helped his puppy hair to come out!

Jack didn't like being told what to do when he arrived and giving anything up that he may have had in his mouth was a challenge in itself. Jack and I now enjoy a game of fetch with a ball and he retrieves it every time and gives it to me on command now as well.

As you can see the training is progressing very well and it is allowing the real Jack to shine through, not the hoody that arrived.

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.
