17 weeks old: Hazard the daddy long legs hunter

Another week gone in a flash I know I say this every week but I can’t believe how big she is getting, her legs have gotten so long. Her face looks more collie to me, but her body most definitely looks like a lab. Haz is doing well. She has learnt that she doesn’t need...

16 weeks old, bold and doing what she’s told (mostly)

4 months?! Where has the time gone? She seems to be getting bigger by the day. Her attitude definitely gets bigger! She doesn’t hesitate to tell you what she wants, she loves exploring and is so confident it’s scary. We are really lucky that she is keen to learn and do what she is told....

Pupdate: 13 weeks

Hazard is 13 weeks old today. Every day she gets funnier and sassier. Her toilet training is going well and she attended her first training class ; she was amazing . It was such a positive experience. She was the youngest and smallest but she let her presence be known. She is so confident with...

Another week flies by!

The imperfect perfect dog.

Dog training? It’s all fun and games.

We have recently completed a few new training courses with Watercombe dogs and have just started a regular training class with them. It’s turned my training priorities completely upside down! Duke has absolutely loved it! And I have too. The training is all game based. You use games and fun to teach you dog to...

Duke: Learning to play with new friends.

I’ve been a little worried lately as Duke has been on leaded walks only. This is because when he gets excited he struggles with responding to his recall in good time. He comes back; just a little after I have called his name . By “a little after” I mean when he feels like it!...
