\u00ab\u00a0Merci Ann-Jo et Hugo pour cette semaine pass\u00e9e chez vous. Votre accueil simple et chaleureux m’a imm\u00e9diatement mise \u00e0 l’aise, et la vie en communaut\u00e9 avec tous les chiens (et leurs propri\u00e9taires bien s\u00fbr!) \u00e9tait une exp\u00e9rience magnifique, dans un endroit tout aussi magnifique! Tout est fait pendant cette semaine pour que chacun se sente \u00e0 l’aise, dans un chalet si confortable que quelque fois on laisserait bien les autres aller se tremper les papattes, pour rester tranquillement au coin du po\u00eale!<\/p>\n
Et je ne parle pas de la cuisine d’Hugo….un vrai r\u00e9confort apr\u00e8s une matin\u00e9e pass\u00e9e \u00e0 trotter dans la for\u00eat derri\u00e8re les chiens! Que dire des beignets de pleurottes……MIAM!<\/p>\n
Cette initiation au mantrailing m’a vraiment donn\u00e9 envie d’aller plus loin avec Nyima, juste pour le plaisir de partager toujours davantage avec mon chien. J’ai beaucoup aim\u00e9 la fa\u00e7on d’Ann-Jo de faire partager sa passion et son immense exp\u00e9rience, avec tellement d’humilit\u00e9 et de patience.<\/p>\n
On a juste envie d’observer, absorber chaque conseil et essayer de mettre en oeuvre!<\/p>\n
Bref, tout \u00e7a pour dire que d\u00e8s que possible, je recommence!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
Merci \u00e0 vous deux!<\/p>\n
A bientot certainement!<\/p>\n

I would like to thank Ann-Jo for her time and patience with me and my Blond Kelpie Summer.<\/p>\n
I had been to a number of people for help and guidance during our journey into Man Trailing.<\/p>\n
Whilst I had some prior knowledge I also had some\u00a0very bad habits which had over time eroded the trust in our working partnership and was leading to lost and missed trails.<\/p>\n
Ann-Jo help me spot them and gave me guidance to sort them out.<\/p>\n
Most importantly the week end was fun. It was good to see dogs at different stages working and the methods used to get them started.<\/p>\n
I look forward to spending more time with you in the future.<\/p>\n
Kind regards<\/p>\n

bonjour Ann-Jo !<\/p>\n
voici mon t\u00e9moignage pour ce week-end de stage :<\/span><\/p>\n comme toujours, un vrai plaisir d’\u00eatre accueillies par toi et Hugo (qui cuisine tr\u00e8s bien !). On apprend toujours de nouvelles choses et bien s\u00fbr dans le respect du chien. Le chien progresse rapidement, il n’est jamais dans l’\u00e9chec car tu sais toujours comment tourner la situation pour que le chien reste motiv\u00e9 et concentr\u00e9 et surtout, qu’il ait envie de recommencer ! tu nous apprends aussi \u00e0 \u00eatre patient et \u00e0 observer le chien qui nous \u00e9tonne toujours…<\/p>\n Le cadre est super, et l’ambiance \u00e9tait vraiment g\u00e9nial, tout le monde s’est bien entendu et on a pu partag\u00e9 des choses sur le chien ou m\u00eame sur la vie en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n A refaire encore et encore car on progresse \u00e0 chaque fois et surtout on \u00e9vite les erreurs. Et m\u00eame si le stage porte sur un sujet particulier, tu n’h\u00e9sites pas \u00e0 apporter des conseils sur n’importe quel autre sujet. Tu n’h\u00e9sites pas \u00e0 partager ton savoir et ton exp\u00e9rience ce qui est vraiment agr\u00e9able.<\/p>\n merci encore et \u00e0 bient\u00f4t<\/span><\/p>\n To the girls : merci encore les filles pour ce moment vraiment sympa, tr\u00e8s bonne rencontre \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n Laure<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n On reviendra c’est sure . On s’entraine r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement . Merci encore Ann-Jo , on a pass\u00e9 des vacances fabuleuses .<\/p>\n Les bretons\u00a0<\/p>\n [youtube_video id=\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>JH5PWFfN-zw\u00ab\u00a0]<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dog-adventure is definitely a paradise for dog lovers located in the heart of the beautiful Morvan\u2019s Regional Park, west of the\u00a0C\u00f4te d’Or<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Burgundy<\/a>,\u00a0France<\/a>\u00a0just a few hours away from Paris. Ann-Jo and Hugo have created comfortable and tasteful accommodations tailor-made for welcoming dogs and their owners.\u00a0 Important details such as fully fenced play areas as well as well a fenced agility ring, allow dogs to relax in a secure environment far from city noise and turmoil. Water bowls and garbage cans are discretely placed for the use of responsible dog owners. A small shop will conveniently provide any dog accessories or dog food that may be needed during your stay. The open kitchen\/living room area overlooking a fabulous panoramic view of the Morvan\u2019s wooded hills is an inviting area conducive to chatting, reading, browsing through the internet (Wifi friendly) or simply sharing a TV program. The Morvan is also a paradise for hikers, fishers and lovers of outdoor activities which are easily accessible within walking distance or 4-10 km radius.<\/p>\n As a first time, inexperienced owner of a female Jack Russel, (1 Year old) my stay at Dog-adventure was truly an eye opening experience. I participated with my dog in the Man-Trailing activity which proved to be a success both of us.<\/p>\n First of all, we happened to be an international group of guest from France, The Netherlands and the USA. Most of which were experienced dog owners and had more than 2 dogs, big, big dogs I may add (Leon Berger, Swiss Berne, 2 Labradors, Malinois, Cocker Spaniel, 4 Flatcoated Retrievers). This factor was an essential component to making my stay most enriching because I received input not only from experienced dog owners but also different cultural perspectives on dog etiquette and dog training.<\/p>\n Needless to say, the knowledge I am taking back with me to Paris is priceless.<\/p>\n The first ground breaking discovery I made thanks to Ann-Jo was to change my dog\u2019s food to NATYKA. Since I have started with NATYKA, my dog has picture perfect stools which were problematic to say the least. As you know, Jack Russels are known to be finicky eaters\u2026. All her intestinal problems and costly treatments have disappeared\u2026<\/p>\n Secondly, the Man-trailing activity has helped me better understand how my dog functions and behaves as well as brought out into the open where my own weaknesses reside in my efforts to teach my dog certain skills. This new awareness is the key to successfully building a strong relationship with your dog as well as helping the dog acquire those necessary skills you want your dog to have. A combination of patience and a relaxed joyful attitude is fundamental to teaching your dog something new.<\/p>\n Thirdly, I learnt that motivating your dog to achieve and succeed in performing a new exercise is not only about how enticing the food is although that is definitely important, but on how the dog is psychologically. Is the dog really ready to listen or is the dog too stressed? Reading your dog is essential. There is no one rule for all dogs but general guidelines which you apply as need be.<\/p>\n Thank you Ann-Jo for helping me understand all of this in such a short time. I look forward to coming back in August for level 2 in Man-trailing, an essential skill for city dogs to enable them to focus on other things than street noise.<\/p>\n Pascale & Fid\u00e8s. July 2012<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Super week-end!! D\u00e9j\u00e0 trois s\u00e9jours chez Ann-Jo et Hugo et toujours autant de plaisir!
