Big Dogs and Little Dogs

Mans best friend comes in all shapes and sizes and my latest blog clearly displays that.
Deefa the German Shepherd is as big and powerful as the photo suggests - but he's also incredibly gentle. The command "gentle", when used to give him the smallest of treats results in a giant coaxing up to me and softly taking the goodie from my finger tips !

While Deefa may be large, on the other end of the scale is Lulu, a lovely Yorkshire Terrier. She's been given the odd dirty look from Honey, who is probably wondering where this interloper has come from. And as if that's not enough, "you know who" is having to vie for the favoured lap position !

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 !

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 !
