Am I hardy or foolish ?

As we near the end of "flaming June", I sit at a computer with my 2nd raincoat and 2nd pr of walking trousers drying out ! The weather this month has been truly atrocious and Thursday's torrential storms forced me to cancel my later appointments and some yesterday too.

However, onwards and upwards!

Millie and Bonnie have returned home after their month long training with me and I'm pleased to say that I've been receiving some wonderful updates from a very happy owner.

Also gone is another training dog, Darcy, who once again spent a month with me. Yet again I've been hearing some lovely news about a very reformed character and owners and family who are really pleased with how she has changed in only a month.

New dogs just in are Scot the Dalmation (original name Spot but wisely changed by new owners! ), Tilly the black Cocker Spaniel and Chester - the water loving dog who must be in his element at the moment.

But with dark clouds approaching again, I'm going to don more wet weather clothing and venture on another walk, taking the camera in a plastic bag ............. what can I say ???

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.
