Life in the old dog yet!!!..;o))
Oh so sweet, beautiful oldie!!!...;o))
Sleeping is the best thing in the world!!!
I think there is a bird somewhere...
Great picture, my Saffy wouldn't sit like that she would just be a blur disappearing out of the picture, Jas on the other hand would be good and stay where she was put...
no room for an extra pair of paws?
what an amazing picture-like it a lot!!
Your dogs really do have it made!
When you get to a certain age - it's nice to put your feet up!

- About Me:
- I am a qualified and accredited Canine Behaviourist and training instructor.
I have four well trained and sociable Irish bitches who help me with my work - Ruby (Jonola Bonny Wee Thing) is a sweetheart - very gentle and loving and ideal to help with puppy socialisation.
Aston (Danaway Crazy Daisy) is my eldest and has now semi retired from her duties as my helper with dogs who have behavioural problems - she is very calm and obedient and an all round super girl, Grace (Fearnley Fire Athena) loves to get involved with the fun agility course I use as part of some of my training courses - Ellie (Shaytell Perfidia) is the super model of the family and likes to strutt around in front of dogs without actually having to get involved with them! - she likes a little agility now and again (if she has an audience) - and me - well - my life is just dogs,dogs and more dogs!!

Lovely new photo's you have put on.
Alfie has his Kennel Club Gold test a week on Sunday, so I have been busy putting myself through the various exercises. I have finally managed to get the perfect send away!! Took a while to find a method but I kept at it and finally used a ball and he's been getting it right ever since. The other problem exercise was the stop the dog - now he can do it and I am feeling much more confident with him. I have been out every night training with him. Mind you he's much more in tune with me now! Oh happy days and fun days.

- Hi Val and welcome to this site! Your dogs are gorgeous, wonderful photos of them. Thanks for the comment on my 'stay' video. I have better clips, but this one was best for sharing, the ones where all the dogs were perfect are boring to watch, haha. I love training, and the dogs seem to love it too - but we are still very 'novice'. I see you are a training instructor, maybe I can pick your brain when I run into problems.........
Enjoy the site! ///Joan

- Hi there Val
Well it isn't all like that, and some of it isn't walks, but I have just found a beautiful walk in a nearby forest, it is just like walking in the Highlands.
I have a fairly busy Easter, we have our Championship show tomorrow, so have a lot of work today...my dogs look like sheep today so want them to look like ''proper show dogs'' by tomorrow..
Ah well what else would I do with my time
Have a great Easter yourself.
