Warm days with occasional rain has allowed the grass in my fields to suddenly grow, although one is more yellow than green due to being covered in buttercups.
Despite the height, the dogs still enjoy the chance to let off steam in the grass, even though they end up yellow !
Two little characters who do enjoy being outside are Betsy (l) and Boris(r), my residential training guests
. These Bichon Frise have recently arrived and at the moment are always on the lead. Once they know what my recall means they'll be allowed to explore like every other dog. Despite being very close to each other, I'm training them seperately and am confident the leads won't feature in too many photographs !

Betsy & Boris

"Are you still looking at us ?"
One member of the gang who did miss out on a journey into the meadow was HRH, who, if you can't tell, is showing just how miffed a Chihuahua can look !

"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll ........ please let me in !!!"

One dog who is off the lead and long line altogether is Tally. When she first arrived, this youngster would literally pull me out of the kitchen and then the utility room to get outside. But those days are long gone. Now, she sits at the doors until told to come through and from there on it's walking to the heel. Well done Tally !!

Tally enjoys playtime when school has finished for the day !













And finally Cash, Fran's 9wk old Cocker who is proving to be a lovely little dog, full of character, inquisitiveness and fun - though quite what he's looking at, only he knows !

Only Cash knows what he's looking at ---- or does he ??

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.
