🐾Reminder again to our Albany Pet Parents🐾
The fireworks are scheduled for 9pm & midnight this evening.
📌 Bring your dog/s inside
📌 Create a safe place for them (Den)
📌 Put some music on (or the TV)
📌 Be calm, it will help them stay calm
📌 Have a Kong or Lickimat ready
📌 Maybe do some calm training exercises inside
📌 Make sure their ID tags are on and current (incase they escape)
📌 Go for a drive, away from the fireworks
📌 If they are on situational medication, make sure you administer at the correct time for optimal effect

The City of Albany have said that the Foreshore event is Dog friendly, HOWEVER if your dog is likely to be stressed by the busy environment, the noise of children running around having fun, the bands and the fireworks.......then this isn't actually a friendly place for your Dog. 🐾

Enjoy the festive season with your loved ones and hold the memories tight of those who may no longer be with you. 🎄

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new dogs and their families over the year, watching you all learn together has been wonderful. 🐾

And that’s a wrap!!
5 days full of learning.
Ken Ramirez is a wealth of knowledge and his experience in the animal training world is phenomenal.
So very grateful to be able to attend this conference in our own State! Can’t thank Institute of Modern Dog Trainers Australia (Laura & Fiona)enough for putting it all together and convincing Ken to leave his Ranch in the USA to put up with some crazy, but passionate Aussies.

Also the Zoo staff! Wow oh wow! Their training , husbandry, passion and knowledge of the Zoo animals is inspirational!

Day 4 complete.
One more day before we sadly say ‘until next time’ to the amazing Ken Ramirez.

In our lunch break today we had a talk from the elephant zoo keepers.
Here we see their female elephant “Permai” doing some nose (aka trunk) work!
She is searching for an odour (coffee) that was placed in this section of the enclosure.
As soon as she enters the keepers cue her to ‘search’.
Her indicator, that she has found the odour, is her vocalising. She also flicks her ears forward at the same time, do you see it?
Watch how her body language and movement changes when she’s getting close to pinpointing the odour. 🥰

Day 3 of 5 done!
What a perfect time to get a memorable photo with Ken Ramirez and fly the Albany Dog Trainers flag with my good friend Donna from Every Day Dogs.

Ken’s knowledge of animal training is next level and his passion for conservation is inspirational!!
It’s no wonder he is sought after as a world renowned trainer.

Bring on the next 2 days 😃

Day 2 done and dusted!
Soooo much information and can’t wait to get home to my dogs to refine some skills 😃🐾

Yesterday my 2 Denmark groups completed their training with me 🐾
They tested their new skills on the ‘obstacle course’ and had so much fun in the sun…….and more importantly in the ballpit 😂
As everyone’s skills improved, the confidence and bond in the relationships grew.
This was demonstrated yesterday when they needed to work as a team through the obstacles.
Well Done Everyone 💛🐾

With one more week of training fun, at Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital, with my current group of students, the opportunity arises for the next enthusiastic teams to join in!
Please PM your email address with 'Denmark Training' or email me at [email protected]
Can't wait to meet some new people.......and their Dogs!🐾

Sometimes I see something that triggers me to bring some more awareness to families, especially when children are involved.
I then remind myself that nobody teaches us at school how to understand what our dogs are trying to tell us, so if I can help educate people to ‘read’ dog body language it’s a step closer to;
* Happier Dogs
* Safer Children/people
* Building better human/Dog relationships
* Advocating for our dogs (our own of friends)
Reducing;
* Stressed/anxious dogs
* Conflicted dogs
* Poor human choices when interacting with dogs
* Bite risk
* Dare I say it ……. Rehoming (or Euthanasia) because the dog has bitten a child

Take 2.5 minutes out of your day to watch the YouTube clip. Two sides to the story depending on the point of view.

Thinking of a new Doggie family member?
Have a read of this very informative Blog, some really important things to consider before jumping in because “she’s so cute” or “I just want to adopt, to save a life”
🐾

Bringing a dog into your life is a major decision that requires plenty of thought. It’s easy to see a dog advertised and think “oh, how cute, I think we could give her a good home”. But some breeds of dogs will remain in your life and become part of your everyday routines for upwards of 18 yea...

Arrow is a site supervisor at Great Southern Stock Feeds, he ensures that toys/snuffle mats designed by Wild Hair are up to scratch, he does a bit of quality control of Rex’s Mission treats and lets Every Day Dogs know when the lickimat stocks are low!
I’d like to think I helped him achieve this role, way back when he did Puppy Preschool with me 🥰😂🐾💛
This boy needs a pay rise 😉
