Elvis lives !!



Elvis
For the past two months, Paul has been working with Elvis, a really wonderful 8 month old Working Cocker Spaniel.
He's mentioned how much he's enjoying training this youngster and that Elvis is picking things up quickly, though having seen this photograph, I'm not exactly sure what he means !

Ralph and Inka

"I hope you're not intimidated by me looking up your nose", says Ralph to Inka.
Boom !!

Not many dogs about here and for good reason.  Even seasoned gundogs would have shuddered at the boom of some of the explosions - though for us humans they were spectacular !
Finn

 A bad hair day is a bad hair day - even for Finn, a Bedlington x Whippet.
Peanut 

Peanut is a beautiful looking Cocker with the softest eyes and eyebrows to match.

Jura 

Jura has a great expression. She stayed with me on a 24 hour "try out", which I ask all potential dogs to have before boarding.This allows me to see how well they settle in to a new environment and with other dogs. The last thing I want is a poor animal who is stressed. Thankfully, this only happens once in a blue moon.

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 !

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

Meet a Serra da Estrela Mountain dog

This morning I met Bluto, a 7mth old Serra da Estrela mountain dog. Seven months and still growing ! He came for my sheep chasing course, but ended up leaving without every seeing a fluffy white creature. Instead, he left with more respect for his owner than when he first arrived. Seeing this young but powerful dog climb out of the car, oblivious to his owner, showed me he had no regard for him whatsoever. On the basis that no successful training will happen unless there is respect, I went about showing the owner how to achieve this. Once he'd mastered it, he left to practice the lesson in his home environment. But this won't be the last I see of Bluto - don't forget, I still have to make him know what he can and can't do when confronted by sheep. Janet
