Have I Introduced Archie To You ?

Well my week in Scotland has come and I'm afraid to say, gone.
But what a time. Accompanied by my daughters Fran, Rachel and a very good friend, we had a wonderfully relaxing time spent doing as little as possible.

Relaxed - but Tilly's nose keeps working !

Since being back, I've had behaviour problems to attend to in Settle, Ulverston and 3 much closer to home.
And now Archie has come to stay. Who is Archie ? Well, maybe that's a question Honey would like to answer, because he's taken an interest in our little charmer though I'm unsure as to whether it's for friendship or to keep him tied over until the next meal. You see Archie is a male Rhodesian Ridgeback and with it, one of the most powerful dogs I've dealt with ...... potentially !
Thankfully Archie is too much of a gentleman to be a bully to anyone or anything.

"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 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...

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
