Introducing Ben

Ben came to us in 2002 after the sad loss of Khan.  He had a lot to live up to but is a brilliant teaching dog.  He police's a situation and seems to have that uncanny knack of knowing when to interrupt "rude" behaviour from another dog.  He loves new puppies but is just as happy in with the "body slammers". Having taught Carol so much, he is always glad to be with his friends and enjoy a good romp through the woods, chasing squirrels and rabbits.  Cant quite work out where they disappear to though!  Ben is now 10.

Katie - 21.06.00 - 26.7.10

Here is Katie with the rest of the team waiting to start work. Although Katie can be a little unpredictable she learnt to trust and was wonderful with the young puppies. Her favourite place was on Carol's bed resting!! She was 10 when we lost her in July 2010, such a big loss but we thank her for everything she taught us. She joins her team mates, Khan and Freya.

Khan & Freya

Two of Carol's beloved dogs, now sadly passed away, but their legacy lives on - read their story's.  Khan a Vigil Rescue dog and epilepsy sufferer and Freya who survived major spinal surgery and went on to help many other dogs.

Brook

Brook is Stuart's boy.  He is now 10 years old and another Vigil Rescue dog.  He loves nothing but to charge off with his mates into the undergrowth after anything he can find.  A true "bodyslammer" - he loves teaching other dogs not to bite too hard - a look is enough - but loves kids and puppies just as much. He is now our lead swimming club manager!

Zytta

Zytta is Stuart's second dog.  She is 9 years old and looks like a wolf with her unusual markings and greenish grey  eyes.  She's an RSPCA rescue dog. She is our true teacher dog - she is brilliant at puppy class but woe betide any dog try to mount her or is "rude". One look from her and the dog runs off back to its owner.  

Tai and Kizzy

Here is Caroline our senior instructor with her two dogs who are seen at our training mornings. Both dogs are a pleasure to be around and enjoying helping with all the dogs especially the puppies. They have had one lovely litter of puppies of their own some of whom we have been pleased to help and train.

 Pickle, Blondie and Ellie - 3 of Kizzy's girls from a recent litter.                  Then Ellie grew up just like her Mum!

Introducing Poppy, a recent rescue case who Kizzy has adopted as her own!

Sadly we have to report the loss of Tai recently.  Our thoughts go out to Caroline and her family. July 2010

Keegan

Here is another close friend of Ben and Katie - Keegan often came to stay but sadly passed away a few weeks ago. Jul 2010

Woody was one of our rescue cases and has certainly had some fun this year! After his op, he started to sport a new style of fashion including a new hat - there had been food in that bag - and then he went to the beach!

Introducing Fern and Troy
