When Honey met Toby

HRH has finally met a dog she can look into the eyes of without straining her neck.
Meet Toby.
When he first arrived Toby was somewhat reserved and took a day or two to come out of his shell and mix with the other dogs.
He was even more blasé about Honey, but a sudden mad dash with her one evening has changed all of that !
It's wonderful to see such a lovely pair of dogs enjoying themselves as well as seeing our dog play with a member of her own breed.

Now what could they be looking at I wonder ?

Ever seen a Chihuahua smile ? (Toby (r) )

Ever seen two Chihuahuas smiling ? !! (Honey left & Toby right)

Phew, time to catch a breath

"Can you see that man in the bushes with a camera ??"

Fran Ardley the Gun Dog Trainer

While Rachel is a trainer and partner in Cumbria Dog Training, my other daughter is a professional in gun dog trainer. Fran has been training dogs for owners from all over the UK, as well as being asked to judge dogs in in the very male world of trialling. Not bad for a young lady still in her 20's ! Paul's six month old Working Cocker Spaniel Ella loves riding in the cars. She has tremendous spring in her skinny legs and gets into the back of the Hilux with little effort. It's a different story when it's time to leave. She's been trained never to jump out but to be patient and wait for her owner to pick her up, thereby preventing injuries ..... and vets bills !! When are we going to be there Dad ? Boarding dogs Charlie and his brother Alfie are staying with me for a few days, and as can be seen, a ball is something that creates a real bond. These two young dogs are lovely characters. Is this the cool way to carry a ball ? Scarlett, a yo

Meet a Welsh Springer Spaniel

Yesterday I had an all day appointment with an owner who'd travelled from Falkirk, mid point between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Linda brought her beautiful looking Welsh Springer Spaniel to see me and to iron out a few problems. Rosie is, or should I say was, a young dog who liked to lunge at other dogs while out on a walk. Having shown the owner how to correct this habit with Honey then Jaffa, I introduced her to my dog Tilly then Fran's hyper Springer Spaniel Jake, who is energy personified ! By now Rosie was being very blase about the whole thing ! Jake, Ted, Frank, who knows or cares ?! Whatever the name they were of little importance to her and she completed ignored them, much to her owner's delight. Prior to travelling to Morland for lunch, Linda asked me the best way to get Rosie into the back of her car. This cheeky dog preferred to be picked up rather than make the effort herself. A simple demonstration followed by Linda doing it herself brought about alot of la
