Here is some great information from the RSPCA. There is a lot of information going and a lot of worried people. I am working on being prepared not scared.
Make sure you have enough dry food and fresh water and if your dog is sounds sensitive and scared of storms, consider talking to your vet for the possibility of using some medication.

🚨 CYCLONE ALERT: Does your pet have an emergency plan? 🚨
Cyclone Alfred is forecast to make landfall on Thursday, bring severe wind, heavy rain and flooding.

ENSURE YOUR PET HAS IDENTIFICATION
If your pet becomes lost in severe weather, having appropriate ID can help them be reunited safely. Is your pet microchipped and has a collar with ID?

TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR PETS ARE SAFE
🏡 Create a safe and secure space for all of your animals
🐴 Watch out for debris, incoming waters and unsafe damage to surrounding properties
🐶 Don’t tether pets if outside - they may do themselves more harm trying to break free.
💧 Provide access to water and food in heavy bowls if outdoors.
🐱 Keep your pets (including cats) indoors.
📝 Take time to prepare a Disaster Pet Preparedness Plan for you and your pet if you need to evacuate👉 bit.ly/3wntFIE
🍃 Ensure objects in your yard are tied down.

My last client is camera shy, but it was graduation for this gorgeous girl. I still like to acknowledge how far they have come, reducing her reactivity and building confidence 🐾☺️🐶🎓

Next up was Aki, it was our first session together and he doesn’t like people coming into his home. His humans have worked hard at muzzle training to ensure everyone is safe. It was great to have his settle on the floor at the session 🐾🐶☺️

Next up was Graduation Day for Murphy and he has also improved so much! His human has worked so hard and he has come so far. He is walking really well on lead and recall is amazing. I love being part of the journey and seeing the relationship strengthen 🐾🐶🎓☺️

Where did today go?! It started out with the gorgeous Rocky. His human hurt their ankle and he hasn’t had a lot of practice, but you wouldn’t know it! He was walking like a boss today and I am super happy with his progress. We also worked on long line recall which he is improving on. He is struggling a bit when he sees another dog when on lead so we worked on some skills around helping him to disengage ☺️🐾🐶

Then it was check in with Happy Harry! This guy has the best Staffy smile! We had a lovely chat at the park about nail trimming and a few other things, while Harry just chilled out. I always love catching up with my MindDog dogs and their humans 🐾☺️🐶

27/02/2025

Then it was off to meet Mav, my second Golden this week! He is such a delight to train and he picked up on the skills so quickly. He doesn’t like dogs behind fences, pulls on lead and jumps up on people and progresses on all these skills 🐾🐶☺️

27/02/2025

Today I had a great catch up with Louis, his humans have been worked hard at recall and there is lots of progress. He is still easily distracted and we continued working on the skills. We also worked on some loose lead walking. He is seriously so adorable and so much fun to train 🐾☺️🐶

Yesterday I met Ari, she is a gorgeous adolescence Golden Retriever and she loves to pick up and chew everything on walks and sometimes he doesn’t like to give them up. He also pulls on lead. So we worked on how to swap items and introduced the lead skills. She did stop chewing on a stick to give me a smile at the end of the session though 🐾☺️🐶

25/02/2025

Today was graduation for Guinness and Maple joined in for the photo. He is going so well! He is walking really well on lead and he settled so quickly when I arrived. He can be demanding at times when it comes to wanting to play but we worked on putting play on cue 🐾☺️🐶🎓

25/02/2025

I totally forgot to post about Freddie’s graduation last week. He is has improved so much, he is so much calmer and able to settle, he is walking so well on lead and the only thing that is still a work in progress is his reactivity. It has reduced, but he reacts to random dogs and people on a walk 🐾☺️🎓🐶

And today I met this gorgeous guy, Oscar has recently moved house and he is struggling when he is home alone. He is super bonded with his human and he is very loved. But this means he is quite protective when out walking as well. We worked though some skills and what the next steps will be. I look forward to making progress with this team 🐾☺️🐶

20/02/2025

It was Graduation Day for Murphy as well! He has improved so much and he is walking so well on lead, we had some fun with some long line recall and he is not jumping up on guests. He was happy to settle and chill even though he does the most adorable dance when I arrive. It’s been wonderful see his progress over the sessions 🐾☺️🐶🎓

20/02/2025

It was graduation for beautiful Nova and she is going so well. I have loved seeing progress over the sessions. Nova was so worried about my presence when we started, barked at me and kept her distance. She was happy to settle on the mat and barely barked when I arrived. Her reactivity has reduced on walks as well 🐾☺️🐶🎓

20/02/2025

I swear the weeks are zooming by at the moment. I met Popcorn and Daisy this week. Popcorn finds people a bit scary and I didn’t want to worry him so we worked at distance. I encouraged some sniffing in my presence by asking him to ‘find’ some treats. We worked though some skills to build his confidence and reduce his barking when he is inside ☺️🐾🐶

This guy is so much fun and we had a great session with Murphy. I like to refer to adolescence as a journey. There are times of confidence and ‘we’ve nailed it’ thoughts, then times of ‘what is going on with this crazy dog’ 😂😂 He has had days of brilliance and days of not listening and pulling like a train. He did amazing today on lead and Leroy helped us out to work on moving past other dogs. It’s always a good test to see how he greets other dogs. We finished the session with some recall ☺️🐾🐶

15/02/2025

Then it was off to check in with Nala and Bagel joined in for the photo! Nala had an unfortunate situation where a dog ran out of another property and it resulted in a scuffle. Thankfully everyone was ok, just a bit shaken and it hasn’t set her training back. I was super impressed with her progress, she is so much softer and relaxed on her walks. We practiced with Leroy to work on the ‘look’ cue and she did so well ☺️🐾🐶
