German Shepherds

I thought for once I would "toot my own horn", so's to speak, as to my training yesterday.
Throughout the day I was busy, dealing with basic training, sheep chasing and behaviour work. And it was the last of these that I was most proud of.
The owners arrived with a large German Shepherd who had a habit of lunging at other dogs - not something any dog owner wants to experiance ! Two others had tried to stop this from happening, including a former police dog handler - but nothing had changed.
Thankfully it was third time lucky with me. With Paul and Fran walking past and around me with different dogs - big, small, quiet, yappy! - I managed to solve the problems very quickly. And in the owners hands, their dog behaved just as she had for me.
So apologies for boasting a little but this event made me feel particularly satisfied.

Bailey goes back to school

My daughter Rachel has been working with me for some months now, both walking and and very occasionally, helping to train dogs (with the owners knowledge). Two weeks ago, she was given the responsibility of turning around the behaviour of young tearaway Bailey, a Cocker Spaniel. He arrived pulling, no recall and having absolutely no eye contact. But with persistence and a little hard work, things are really starting to change !

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

Fran Ardley the Gun Dog Trainer

While Rachel is a trainer and partner in Cumbria Dog Training, my other daughter is a professional in gun dog trainer. Fran has been training dogs for owners from all over the UK, as well as being asked to judge dogs in in the very male world of trialling. Not bad for a young lady still in her 20's ! Paul's six month old Working Cocker Spaniel Ella loves riding in the cars. She has tremendous spring in her skinny legs and gets into the back of the Hilux with little effort. It's a different story when it's time to leave. She's been trained never to jump out but to be patient and wait for her owner to pick her up, thereby preventing injuries ..... and vets bills !! When are we going to be there Dad ? Boarding dogs Charlie and his brother Alfie are staying with me for a few days, and as can be seen, a ball is something that creates a real bond. These two young dogs are lovely characters. Is this the cool way to carry a ball ? Scarlett, a yo
