Progress with Seb the Sprollie

Things are improving by the day with my training resident, Seb.
A young Sprollie, he arrived full of energy and raring to go which I love in a dog !
I've made the most of his enthusiasm by channelling it into different games to assist with training and the two of us have really bonded.
Today, for the first time, he was allowed complete freedom in my garden while I was outside. Being a large and secure area, I felt confident that he would obey the "recall" command and the 8mth old dog didn't let me down !
In fields and on the common he is still on a long line prior to being given total freedom. However, the top photograph, with my foot nowhere near the end of the line, shows those days are fast approaching. Well done Seb !

When the wind blows from the East ....

............. you dress as a Muscovite, regardless of looks !!

Meanwhile one little dog just keeps on taking and taking and taking !!! This time my boarding guest Roxy appears to have lost her bed !

"Please ............. leave me in peace"

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

"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 !

Keep Cool Sumo !

Few things are nicer than a beautiful summer's walk being finished off by a cooling swim in a beck, hidden from all and known by only a few. Paul's dog Sumo is in his element here, with the joy of jumping in, then swimming to retrieve a tennis ball. Sumo leaps for he's worth. Bert has figured out how to leave the far bank to cross the beck but unfortunately for him, he's sitting on the last rock. Next step will be into the water.....not a thing he particularly enjoys. Bert A beautiful image captures a beautiful dog - Lewis, a Black Labrador. Lewis Chester is a regular boarding dog and his owners asked Paul to take a series of photographs of him while he stayed with us. Here is just one of them. Chester What can I say ? This is me having alot of fun - especially with Milo, a Pug X Shih Tzu.
