Just some more work with Rue this morning. Her and Stel have come a long way this week, as a team theyâve ticked every box. We tested Rue a bit more today with the presence of an unfamiliar dog. Loco was stoked to be on the tools at Bunnings to assist with that side of things.

Out bright and early this morning with Tu the Rotty and his dad, Mike. Weâve been working on getting Tu to a point where he is less reactive with dogs he sees behind fences while on his walks. Typical of me, I donât have any footage of him reacting to the dogs that he would see, when we first started his training. A big part of the reason why Tu was as reactive as he was, was because of his inability to loose leash walk on a lead that was standard length. So we have been giving him a bit more freedom of movement to decide where he is in space and time when heâs confronted with situations like this one, and allowing him to problem solve a bit better. Good boy Tu.

Han, Loco, Bob and I would like to take a moment to thank all of our wonderful clients and their pawesome pals for being part of the AWDP family this year - you guys are like Christmas presents every day. Not just the type of presents you look at and go âOh great - another hand held sponge to wash Dadâs car - exactly what someone else wanted me to have!â But rather the presents that make you go âHoly Wah! I canât wait to torment my brother with this battery powered nerf gun - heâs gonna cry for sure!â
We apologise in advance if we arenât as contactable over this period. Weâre just enjoying our holidays but we will get back to any enquiries as soon as we can. Have a great time with your families over the next few days and weeks, and like the wise gangster from the black and white films Kevin McCallister watches in Home Alone 1 and 2 would say - âMerry Christmas, ya filthy animalsâ.

Tough Boy German Shepherd Learns How To Control His Emptions.
A brand new episode of âBucket-Ass Boy Talks to Dogsâ. In this edition, we help Arlo control his fear to be less reactive to other dogs whilst walking on lead.
Helping Handsome Harry Overcome His Fear
Just like the title says. This situation is a little bit like the movie âGoodwill Huntingâ - Iâm obviously Robin Williams and Harry obviously Matt Damon. Although in this version of a modern classic, Harry is neither a janitor at a famous university or a mathematics prodigy, and we donât live in Boston. Everything else is just as heartwarming and memorable.
Here are some snippets of some of the stuff Harry and I did today. Weâve been working hard together to build his confidence whilst walking his neighbourhood on leash. Heâs come a long, long way and Iâm very proud of him. I hope heâs proud of me.
Also, I often paint my pants on when my normal ones are dirty - today was one of those days.

I was training with Kristina and Heidi this morning when a man called Jim stopped and asked me the question that every puppy owner in the history of puppies asks - âhow do I get my dog to stop biting or nipping my hands/legs/feet etcâ. I told Jim Iâd head back to his house after I had finished with Kris and Heidi. Hereâs a little three minute example of a good way to go about getting your dog to stop that unwanted biting behaviour, and show them a more appropriate behaviour that makes it easier and more enjoyable to interact with them. Jim was very appreciative and gave me a coke which quenched my thirst. So Friday is going very well. Cheers
âFido Wonât Fetch Properlyâ
Allow me to chew your ears off a little more about why some dogs arenât that stoked to play fetch with you.
Also, full disclosure - my dad is and always has been a legend and he used to kick the football with my brother and I (Harry tried his best to take part and we just told him he was âdoing a great jobâ). I enjoy taking the p.ss, and Dad and Harry both understand itâs a joke and that they need to work harder for my affection.
Thanks.
My Dog Wonât Retrieve Properly
âMy dog wonât bring the **(insert whatever it is you throw for your dog here)** back after theyâve retrieved it.â
Interesting. Let me talk your ear off about it.
Pretty decent Friday on the tools.
We had Heidi and Christina working on some confidence building exercises at our favourite park, continuation of Deltaâs environmental socialisation and conditioning and just her general cuteness, Jett putting his nose to work, and working on some on-leash impulse control with handsome Harry. Might self-reward with a milo.
