Tilly, Jake and Jaxson

Yet again I’m stuck with some lovely dogs !! Jaxson is with me for around three weeks while Tilly and Jake are with me for five.

When Tilly first arrived she was rather anxious, but evenings sitting on my lap ( I know !! ) have allowed a very trusting bond to develop. Jake is a little too big to be given the same treatment but nevertheless, his confidence has grown the more he has been with me and I'm very pleased with that. Jake would have appeared in the photos ..... if the battery had lasted !

My new friend Tilly likes to be close to me and I think the photo below sums her up pretty well - although she will have a sudden dash into the bracken, making full use of her little legs to gain maximum speed.

"Janet ..... someone's looking at me"

As for Jaxson !
Like the other two, not a nasty bone in his body. Sometimes he just doesn't know when to settle down and let sleeping dogs lie - literally - but Honey soon puts him in his place ! She can snap at any dog and they all get the message and respect her, but in truth it's all a front.

What are these two looking at ?

And at the end of the day, the dogs love having the opportunity to lay in front of the stove. What could be better ?

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
