This is one of the best recipes shared with me by a friend. Of course I always go over my dogs every evening, but it seriously cuts down on the number of nasty varmints!

Natural Tick Repellent Recipe
This is a safe, natural tick repellent for humans made with essential oils. A simpler tick repellent for dogs is listed below.
Ingredients
20 Drops of Rose Geranium Essential Oil
10 Drops of Sweetgrass Essential Oil – Click here to order sweetgrass oil online
5 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
5 Drops of Citronella or Lemon Essential Oil
4oz of Rubbing Alcohol, Witch hazel, Vodka, Apple Cider Vinegar or Distilled Water
Glass Spray Bottle
Directions for Use
Add all of the ingredients into the spray bottle and spray on clothes before going outside. Shake before using.
Note: While you can use water, the other options are better for keeping the oils in solution. Regular tap water may contain contaminants, so distilled water is preferred.

A royal greeting & good to remember days gone by!
Am back after 11 hours of surgery & almost a month in hospital!

This is to advise all, that I being of sound body & questionable mind, have decided that a career in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE rather than COMPETITION OBEDIENCE is more suited to my particular personality type. Respectfully submitted, Echo

A wacky weekend in Prince Albert where my two Border Collie managed to actually "hold it together in the ring " for a few moments! Lassie, quietly sitting in the background, reminded us that while ribbons & prizes are all very nice some "sensible" obedience counts for a great deal more!

Children & Puppies can forge a wonderful intuitive relationship. Surprisingly, many children come to classes at the Gold Lead with their parents. After classes, there is always time for a little fun & frolic!
