It's amazing...
What 20 minutes of clicker training followed by ten minutes of Ttouch can do!
Sorry for the photo, once again Blogger won't upload the changes I made to the pic!

Introducing Charlie - Portuguese Water Dog
What a gorgeous baby boy! The photo looks as if I've done something whizzy to the photo, but it's not black and white with just colour in the lead, just my rubbish photography! Will upload some more pics later, but have to dash back to do his second visit now.
Before I go...
Separated at birth?

Old English Sheepdog 12 week old puppy retrieving
This is Mr Bridger and his mum. I was invited to meet Mr Bridger as I had walked the family's previous dog. I left some advice, did some training and advised they teach a retrieve to encourage a reliable recall - going back to Mum is A Good Thing.
Less than a week later, here are the results! Hard work from everyone involved, and a great game to play with puppy.

Dog of the Month - August
Slightly delayed as usual, here's Barney, August's Dog of the Month!
Barney stayed with me a few times over the summer, and really mucked in well with all the dogs. There was some competition over tennis balls and toys so we stopped taking them with us after a few days. In their absence, Barney sat in the dog pond waiting for me to throw something, and when I didn't, he dived to the bottom and rescued a few sunken toys!
The main reason he won the award is his quick learning! One of my own dogs is a bit of a bicycle chaser, so when on a long weekend walk at first sight of a bike we all gather round for a small treat so Scamp doesn't chase. After an hour of this, Barney was running straight to me without me saying anything at all as soon as he spotted a bike. I was very impressed - I've been doing this since June and Scamp still hasn't quite got it...
Here's some of my fav pics of Barney. He's also been walking with me a year, so got his Walkies award at the same time.

India, January 2011
For those of you who may not know, I am taking the month of January off work to travel to India to work with John Rogerson (author of The Dog Vinci Code) training dogs.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, I'm not a great traveller outside the UK so it's been nerve-wracking organising the trip but I'm looking forward to it very much. I haven't had a holiday since I started the business in 2008 - any leave I've taken has been to allow me to get things done to the work van or more training in the UK. I've had training courses snowed out, rained off and blown away in the wind, so India seems the ideal solution.
So I will be out of the office, and worse, very probably out of internet and phone communication from 3rd January to 27th January 2010. I can't take on any new clients between now and then. So hold on until February, I'll be back!
