Meet Jess, a Terrier X who is just full of energy! She's a very loving little dog who I'm looking after while her owners are on holiday. She's fitted in very well despite the fact that I don't seem to be able to tire her out !! I'm just grateful she stayed still long enough for me to take a snap of her. The photo below shows Jess charging towards a rather anxious Honey, no doubt for another game. Jess .....manages not to move .... .... but a dog can only stay still for so long ! So what was going on behind me while I was taking these two pics ? A dainty looking Tilly decided to sit patiently and wait for me, oblivious that there was anything on her muzzle. When we're out together, Tilly is so close to me she is almost in my shadow. She's often to be seen walking on three legs, with a back one off the ground. But on the way home or back to the car, all four are put to very good use as she tries to see how far ahead I'll let her go ! Umm.....
I'm Janet Ardley, a professional dog trainer and behaviourist living in the beautiful Lake District National Park here in Cumbria.
I offer residential home boarding, training and help for dogs with behavioural problems.
I'm also very busy training dogs not to chase sheep and livestock.
The purpose of my blog is to give an insight into my working life and hopefully reflect the great fun and happiness I get from working with mans' best friend.
