Announcement 📢 Creating a Calm dog DOES NOT mean that you don’t exercise/play/train your dog! 🤯💡

Calmness 🧘‍♀️ is a key concept that we teach when working on behaviour struggles. It’s not uncommon for us to feel like the only way to create a calm dog is to tire them out. And often it has the opposite effect. 🙈

Those three walks a day that you feel conditioned to do, plus 60 minutes spent ball throwing is quite possibly making those behaviour struggles worse! 😬

We’ve created a great guide that will give you an all-around approach to calm. From calm games, to calm enrichment, to encouraging a dog to rest and calm which can be tailored around walks and training that’s appropriate for your dog. Its one of our most popular Ebooks 📖 and it’s FREE! 🥳

I'm a proud snack leader

To all my fellow , owners trainers and behaviourists. I see you.

I love being a I'm saying that it's literally the tip of the iceberg! I know what's going on underneath the water, I know what's going on in the background.

We do so much more than just toss food.

You are doing a great job keep it up.

People can and will say mean things. It can be demoralising and hard.
But don't let anyone else tell you other methods are better. This works. Science is on our side. We got you.

On this Anzac Day, we don’t just remember our brave service men and women. Let’s also honour the hundreds of thousands of horses, dogs, donkeys, mules and pigeons that selflessly sacrificed their own lives in battles they’ll never be able to comprehend.

For example, of the 136,000 horses sent off to World War One, only one ever made it home to Australia.

These animals have given so much. Not just on the battlefield but also as comfort and support for our soldiers at their most difficult times.

Lest We Forget.

Charlie learning to recall at 8 weeks of age🥰

My gorgeous puppy who is an Assistance Dog in training assisted in a presentation I did today at Hollywood hospital. I always talk about how some of those annoying behaviours puppies do naturally can actually be used to our benefit when considering what tasks to train in relation to positively assisting alleviating the symptoms of a disability. Billy loved to Dong me with her paw at every opportunity particularly when my back was facing her so I put the behaviour on cue. This is one of the foundation behaviours to training one of the anxiety alert interrupters. I have the same conversations when coaching Pet Dog owners when they get really annoyed with their pups particularly running off with things they shouldn't have. In these struggles, dogs are giving us valuable information about what they naturally like to do which can be used not only for Assistance Dogs tasks but for so much including rewards in training. Every struggle is a training opportunity.
