With any dog, it's a good idea to keep their training up to date even as they get older. My youngest dogs are turning 6 this year and are happy and healthy. My Eldest dog is turning 12 - she is completely blind, has arthritis and has a few old age problems. The basic control training that we've kept up with my dogs means that we can all live in harmony a bit easier. If the blind dog is about to walk into something - we simply tell her to 'wait' and we direct her physically. If one of the younger dogs is in her way we can call them out of the way. It really does help especially in a multi-dog household.

Due to injuries, funerals, my holiday and other reasons I've had allot of time off this month already!
I finally got to go to the lake district and rode horseback on the beach :-) Lots of fun new changes and developments going on at Elite Dog Training. I've had the delight of spending time catching up with a few previous clients and their dogs too! My dogs have been doing their best at agility the last few weeks and my female rottie Akiva has decided she wants to try and take on my male rottie Kaiser as 'agility champion'.
The past few months have been very busy. Not many pictures (I can't take pictures during training sessions but will post some videos shortly).

I would like to apologise AGAIN for my slow response to emails and lack of availability. After a few weeks off I injured my back to the point even standing still was agony. I am now slowly getting back into work and hope to be able to book in everyone on my waiting list over the next few weeks. I am unable to take on jobs with big / boisterous / strong dogs at the moment as my back needs time to heal properly.
I would like to apologise to everyone I have cancelled recently. Due to an unexpected death in the family I will be off work until March 2015. Thank you for your understanding.
Please excuse the messy garden as we're having building work done :)At this time of year my training services are in such high demand I would like to apologise to those who have emailed and left messages for me that haven't been replied to yet. I hope to get in contact with everyone within the next few weeks but my services are currently fully booked for January. Please feel free to read through the training advice pages meanwhile where you may find some helpful tips. I apologise for any inconvenience, Sarah.
Finally the new website design is up and the new training advice pages are coming together nicely. There is now a new widget to make booking and contacting me even easier. Enjoy!
