If you and your dog would like to work on communication and manners, this is the best place in Adelaide!
Full disclosure- I might be a bit biased ( I volunteer there 😊)

Our Enrolment ProcessCanine Behavioural School opens for enrolments just before each school term begins. Once classes are full for the upcoming term, dogs and their guardians will need to wait for the following term to enrol. Due to popular demand, we encourage anybody wishing to enrol to keep track...

Love horses. Not racing.
One horse dies because of a catastrophic injury on the track every 2.4 days.
Thousands die every year because they’re too slow and considered wastage by the racing industry.
Please do something kind today instead of supporting the Melbourne cup cruelty.

Please retract the retractable leashes!

They’re dangerous for you and your dog:
-throat and neck injuries for your dog ( may not happen every day but when it does happen it is very serious)
- counterproductive to all of the loose lead walking you are training by providing a situation where your dog to has to pull
- risk of injury to you when the thin cord snaps ( look at that photo- yikes!) or you try to grab the thin cord
- risk to others when the thin cord gets tangled with other dogs or people and tightens around them
- risk to your dog if the large clumsy ‘handle’ drops … you better have reliable recall when theyre suddenly free to run far far away….

Pet expert Steve Dale would like to see retractable leashes banned, and most dog trainers agree. Here's a horrific story as one example

May your day be as filled with happiness and treats as little Forrest’s is while eating his almond

Dogs need more sleep than we do because they spend a smaller % of their sleep time in deep sleep…. I know how my brain and body feels when I don’t get enough sleep (crap)…. In our busy lives it’s important to give our dogs time and space to get enough sleep ❤️

Make sure your dog is catching enough 💤😴

These nose works classes might be of interest if you’re in Adelaide. Great for the dog’s neuro system- wires calmer and less anxious pathways. And it’s fun ❤️

There are a few spaces available for Introduction to Nosework course starting Thursday 17th October, 6.30pm.

Hope to see you and your doggos at the Vegan Festival Adelaide sat 7th or sun 8th December 😊

We would love to see you on Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 December.
And your friends.
And your dogs.
(especially your dogs!)

🐾 Vegan Festival Adelaide is back! While we love having your fur companions join us, we also understand that large crowds can be overwhelming for some pups, so if your dog prefers a quieter scene, it might be best to leave them at home.

💚 As always, our festival promotes kindness to all. We kindly ask that any dogs joining us aren’t wearing choker chains, slip leads, check chains, or (yikes) prong or shock collars. If you need any guidance, connect with your local canine behaviour school for tips on positive methods. Let's make this a day of compassion for everyone! 🌱🐕

***we understand that there may be discussion on this and greyhounds for example have different needs. we are trying our very best and ask some kindness be directed to organisers too.

I feel like this is a necessary public service announcement….

Beransa/ librella for dogs, solensia for cats
What is it, what is it not, and what does it do?

It is a manufactured antibody that stops nerve growth factor from working. There are two things to think about when considering this injection.

1) It is not a pain relieving drug, but you will effectively get relief from pain because pain nerve fibers are not able to function properly.

But wait, what about all of the other nerves in the body that supply organs and muscles and fascia and blood vessels etc etc… yes, they also need nerve growth factor so it affects them too. If a body has a weakness/ vulnerability in one of these systems, they may not cope with losing some nerve function.
I know for sure that all of the techniques I use to help bodies function and move as well as possible rely on having the healthiest, most resilient nervous systems possible.

2) are we really that confident about the effects of injecting antibodies into the body? Antibodies are meant to be what our body produces in response to an antigen (something foreign/ that isn’t recognized by the body as its own)…. so what happens when we mess with our immune system like this…?

Ps notice there is no name equivalent for humans…
Because it started trials for humans but didn’t get very far before the trials were stopped
