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 ?

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.
