Lateral thinking at its' best !

I've finally found a dog walker who understands why dogs behave as they do and who thinks on the same wavelength as a dog.
Meet Charlie.
On first meeting my residential training guest Sandy, Charlie knew he had to demonstrate who was in charge - and it certainly wasn't the big Retriever, lovely though he is.
And so with a little persuasion here and the odd tug there, order was established.


"Like I said .......
.......you come with me because .....
....... I'M IN CHARGE !!!
What's better than one Retriever ? Two. The second comes in the shape of a regular guest of mine, Chester.
I think Paul went on a scouting mission to find out where all the mud pools were prior to this lovely lad arriving. And judging by Chester's appearance, it was time well spent !

Charlie would do well to walk young George, a six month old Springer in for boarding, who has also started training with me. This lad may be young but he's strong and keen to explore smells.
Needless to say Paul is in his element with another Springer and neither seem bothered about the rain - although this photograph doesn't support that ! George seems to have taken to him which is not surprising, given that the two always walk together and Paul is also continuing with his training while he boards for the week.

"Hold on - I've got another expression which is REALLY sad"!

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 !
