"Freedom Starts with Trust: Teach Your Dog a Rock-Solid Recall"
"Freedom Starts with Trust: Teach Your Dog a Rock-Solid Recall"
We’ve all had that heart-stopping thought or moment—the front door swings open, the leash slips from your hand, or your dog spots something irresistible and takes off. Whether it’s chasing a bird, greeting another dog, or just exploring with unbridled joy, it’s a scenario every dog owner dreads.
Many off-leash areas require you to be 100% in control of your dog. But let’s be honest—we’ve all heard (or said) the infamous, “It’s okay, he’s friendly!” (Yes, I’m shaking my head too.)
Here’s the truth: A reliable recall is one of the most essential skills you and your dog can learn, and yet, it’s also one of the most common to fail. Why?
1️⃣ Lack of Training: You and your dog simply haven't learned the skills properly.
2️⃣ Competing Interests: Distractions like other dogs, people, or even an intriguing blade of grass can win your dog’s attention.
Today, little Cookie and her mum started their recall training journey. Cookie is learning that freedom doesn’t have to mean chaos—she can sniff, wander, and explore, but when mum calls, she knows it’s time to come running. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, they’re building trust and reliability, one recall at a time.

Meet Logan, a young boy on his way to becoming a star! 🌟 Recently, Logan and his mum headed to ‘Target’ for a special training session, working on his ‘stay’ command in a real-world setting where he’ll soon be assisting his family. With trainer James by their side, every micro-adjustment was made at just the right moment, helping Logan nail each behavior perfectly. And I have to say, his little tail wag at the end was just the cutest! 🐾

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Cookie and her amazing mum, who are both working hard to ensure Cookie can provide vital support to her small human. But it’s not just about helping her little human—it’s also about giving Cookie the tools she needs to become the best dog she can be. In this video, you’ll see us doing some really cool stuff, but it’s more than just fun—it’s purposeful. Think "rainy days" and "enrichment."
We love using movement puzzles, which are perfect for keeping things interactive and fun on a gloomy wet day, or when the scorching Adelaide summer keeps you indoors. But movement puzzles go beyond entertainment—they're a fantastic way to build balance, coordination, confidence, resilience, and stamina. All of these fall under the umbrella of "fit for purpose."
For a dog like Cookie, who has such an important role to play, it’s crucial that she’s mentally and physically prepared for the task at hand. Movement puzzles are just one of the many ways we ensure Cookie is ready to take on her responsibilities with strength and confidence.
"Setting Cookie Up For Success: A Journey to a Happy, Healthy, Well-Mannered Dog"
"Setting Yourself and Your Puppy Up for Success: A Journey to a Happy, Healthy, Well-Mannered Dog"
The secret to great dog training? It’s all about setting your pup up for success before problems even have the chance to pop up. When you're thinking about getting a new puppy, take a moment to picture your life three years from now. Where do you see yourself with your dog? What kinds of adventures will you be sharing?
With that future in mind, you can start planning what skills your puppy will need to make those dreams come true. The earlier you lay the groundwork, the smoother the journey will be. Most of the dog owners I work with envision a dog that’s well-mannered, social with both people and other dogs, and confident yet resilient. Sound like what you’re looking for? Awesome!
But here’s the real question: do you know how to teach your puppy all of those qualities? The truth is, it’s not about waiting and hoping your puppy will figure things out on their own. It’s about taking the time to guide them, step by step, towards the kind of dog you want by your side. And no worries if you’re not sure how to get started—I’ve got you covered! Together, we’ll make it happen.
Let me give you a real-life example. Meet Cookie 🍪—a super sweet 6 -month-old Groodle who’s on an incredible journey to becoming an assistance dog for her little human. Cookie’s mum has some very specific goals for her future, and the key to making those goals a reality is having a plan. It’s not about waiting to see if Cookie can “just do it” (sorry, Nike 😉)—it’s about being proactive and making sure Cookie learns every skill she’ll need to support her little human as they grow up together.
With a clear vision and intentional training, Cookie is already on her way to becoming an amazing partner and helper. Her journey is a testament to the power of early, thoughtful training and a reminder that with the right mindset, anything is possible for you a

"Mastering Focus: Folke the Swedish Vallhund's Journey to Calm in A Given Situation"
🐾 Meet Folke, a Swedish Vallhund—a rare breed here in Australia! 🌟 Folke is currently working on staying quiet and calm around other dogs, not because he’s worried, but because it’s easy for any dog to get distracted in these situations.
Learning to listen to his handler, even when other dogs are nearby, is a highly desirable skill that’s so important for real-life scenarios. Huge kudos to Folke and his handler for putting in the hard work! 👏🐶

Basic Care of our puppies and dogs need not be challenging!
Today I'm working with my own dogs on how to use a 'nail board' and gain their co-operation to care for their needs vs clipping their nails.
My dogs have picked this up so quickly and i've made a fun experience with reinforcement for engagement and it's a pleasant experience for all involved and best of all, it happened in less than a handful of repetitions.
