Dogs, Leads, Towels ... but I forgot The Ark !

Dogs don't ask for much. Food, affection and exercise. Add to those simple things a touch of discipline and the result is an animal who loves me - warts and all !
But on days like today, I do wonder if they think I'm slightly mad ! I dragged Paul (with camera of course!!) on a walk which severly tested both of our walkiing equipment. The photograph below sums up exactly what I mean.
But don't misunderstand me. I really have no concern about the rain, in fact quite the opposite.

"Keep Up !"

Litte Buddy had a great time in the bracken. He was able to keep up whatever obstacles were in his way.

Buddy - with a very serious expression !

To see Roxy running around like she did was very rewarding. Her boundaries are very good now that we have bonded. Despite her size, she's a big puppy. Unlike waterbabe Brook, she chose to keep her feet on wet land!

"Come on in. The water's warm !"

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.
