My residential training guests

Meet Dolly, a young German Shorthaired Pointer whos a residential guest of mine. She really is a lovely dog and has grown in confidence over the past three weeks. On arrival she wouldnt sit to the command and never have stayed - how things change !
Her willingness to please has made Dolly a real pleasure to work with.

Ten month old Sophie arrived only a few days ago for residential training. A German Shepherd, she had started to make her owners life somewhat of a misery with her antics and behaviour.
Paul, who likes German Shepherds, has been helping me to train her and we agree that she is on her best behaviour with both of us. Sophies road work, heel work etc. is really good and I think this photo says alot about her. Being early days, she is not off the lead but being trained in our field on a long line which in time will come off when were confident she will come to the recall every time.

Recent floods have been a welcome relief for some dogs, fed up with walking in continuous rain ! My dog Annie floods them more than most !

Now heres a dog in a hurry ! Pauls 10 month old Working Cocker Sumo is a water babe through and through.
But whats he in a rush for ?

Why the rush Sumo ?

Now this looks interesting. But whats he looking for ?

No snorkel needed

Good grief  - how did he know that was there. He really has a fantastic nose on him when he can smell through water !
