This is Lucky the 12 week old Border Collie/Cavoodle cross who has just completed the Puppy Programme.
Lucky is very confident and bold which means he is advanced in his learning for his age.
This little guy is developing into a cracker of a dog.
Lucky also has the most incredible double toned eyes where the lower eye is a stunning marble blue.
I predict a great future for this boy.
Good boy Lucky!

This beautiful photo is of Storm the 15 week old German Shepherd/ Golden Retriever cross puppy.
Storm has just completed the Puppy Programme.
This little guy is such a calm, happy puppy who loves everyone.
During his last session we worked with Storm in a highly stimulating environment away from home where alot was going on. Storm dealt with it beautifully.
Storms owners have done everything perfectly to set him up to be a happy, well adjusted member of their pack.
I really enjoyed working with this puppy.
Good boy Storm!

Meet Big Rob the stunning chocolate brown Labrador Retriever.
Rob has just finished the Behaviour Modification package.
This big boy was a handful on the lead, no nastiness just alot of happy exuberance and wanting to meet every dog he saw during his walks.
Rob is now walking with a much calmer energy making his walks so much more enjoyable for everyone.
Rob is a very bouncy, happy boy who was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Good boy Rob!
