Thanks to Canine Connect for hosting Dr Michelle Rassool for this seminar. She had some interesting takes on fear, anxiety and the role of medication in behaviour modification. At the end of the day we need to work together for the welfare of our clients' dog. It takes a village! ❤️🐾

RIP Annie ❤️🐾

We’re saddened to share that Annie, champion of Muster Dogs, passed away this weekend due to a brain aneurysm at the age of five.

Annie and her handler, Frank Finger's unique bond inspired us all as the winners of Muster Dogs Season 1 in 2022. Their partnership left a lasting impression on audiences through their remarkable trust, talent, and deep connection to the land.

Our thoughts are with the Finger family and all who loved Annie.

Update on Benny the GSD with fear aggression and a bite history. The photo on the right shows him during our third session this morning.

Fear aggressive dogs have big feelings when they see people they don't know, and they haven't learned how to process them. When they finally realise that the stranger (in this case me) is not a threat they are overwhelmed with a sense of relief. This often manifests in the intense face licking, that you can see here. I see this as comfort seeking behaviour, similar to that of a young dog.

When the moment passes trust has been established and we can begin hands on work with the dog.

It's onwards and upwards for Benny. ❤️🐾
