We had a huge electrical storm today which hit at lunch time.  At one point I thought the tent was going to take off.  I was half expecting the Wicked Witch of the East to fly past and spent the lunch break working on a little Dachshund named Benjamin who was shivering and shaking with fear.  He settled so well he was able to sleep as were the other noise sensitive dogs and it is so satisfying teaching owners such a peaceful and therapeutic way of helping their dogs to overcome their concerns. I love my job.  Have I mentioned that before???

Daisy is a wonderful assistant and has been helping to sell the books and equipment at the training for Eugenie who is organising the trainings and being a wonderful hostess. We have caught up on sleep now as the first few nights here were lively to say the least.  We obviously didn’t get much sleep on the night flight over, then just as I was nodding off in our first night Eugenie’s house a HUGE cricket landed smack on Daisy’s pillow.  Daisy doesn’t do bugs!  So not much sleep again that night as she ended up in my bed.  At 3.30am the following night we were woken by the ferocious barking of Eugenie’s dog Harley, after an intruder broke into the house.  Charming.  Fortunately no one was hurt and nothing was taken and the dog was aptly renamed Harley the Hero.

We met Carmen’s stunning dog Barrick today. What a joy he is.  Carmen has certainly done an excellent job in training and socialising him.
