Recall..

If your dog is having issues with recall (or coming back to you when called) try these tips to see a big shift:

1. Always reward them for coming back, NEVER punish/hit/harm them, no matter the situation before they come back to you.

2. Face in the direction you want your dog to run and start running or walking that way, while calling their name.

3. Make your voice high pitched and use fast sounds, increasing volume and intensity as required, and increasing your pace as required to make chasing you way more fun, than whatever they are engaged with.

4. Give treats, pats, loads of praise and play with your dog every time they come to you.

5. Practice recall often at home and when you are out, if they are attuned to you in a low stimulation environment, they will be far more likely to come, in a high stimulation environment.

For more tips and a session with me, get in touch via PM.

These are a brilliant alternative to Electric Fencing! Highly recommend!

Have a fence jumper.. this system works great.. they can't get a good footing to get over the fence as the PVC rolls keeping them in the yard..

🚨 PSA 🚨

Please put water out for wildlife on hot days. You could save a life this summer.

Please be mindful of the experience and needs of your best friend!

Note also, dogs CANNOT sweat, so a dog left in a car EVEN with windows down on a hot day (even in the shade!!!) can die in less than 4 minutes.

Dogs can develop heat related illnesses very quickly, so if you are planning to have your dog with you, walk it on grass or dirt, ensure it always has fresh water available, maintain a cool and air-flowing temperature around your dog at all times, and never leave your dog in a car or hot room, even for minutes.

Get in touch today if you need assistance with recall or obedience training, or behavioural retraining.

20 years experience supporting dog guardians to have safe and positive interactions within their relationship to their dog.

Training can be about simply having MORE fun.. think outside the box and enjoy your relationship even more!

This will provide your dog with way more than the exact same routine and walk everyday! Walking is important, but mental stimulation is equally, if not more so, to a happy hound!

Interactions between all animals is fascinating, but who knew an Echidna mating call could sound like this?

This is so heartwarming! Love their joyful faces!

Naw!! While I know it is a fun game to play (fetch) it is so important to monitor your furry family member, to ensure they don’t eat the stick and get an obstructed bowel. Better yet, pick a destructable-free toy instead! Kong make some great frisbees and stick shaped throw toys which dogs can’t chew up and swallow.

Tick season has been going for months already but is rapidly ramping up this year. Protect your pets with tick and flea prevention medication and check them, medicated or not, every day after walks or time outside.

When checking for ticks, check EVERYWHERE!

Socialisation early avoids much of what my services have been utilised for over the past 19 years of working with dogs with chalenging behaviours, a number whose people have been told to put them down as they are “lost causes” by other trainers and vets.

It IS possible to rehabilitate a reactive and unsocialised dog, BUT it takes YEARS often and a lot of dedication and resources, engaging in behavioural trainers like myself, and putting loads of time, money and effort in, which is very life disruptive, and can literally rob you of some off the best years with your dog.

Please, get in touch now if you have a puppy or adolescent dog who you would like to give the best life skills to, at the best time.

I have a heavily discounted offer on puppy training and adolescent training (up to 2 yrs old), and will also continue to offer behavioural therapy and training to dogs who already have chalenging behaviours, with rescue dogs always receiving a discount, or free phone consults to those who are in financial challenge, who need support rather than rehoming or euthanasia. 💚🙏🏽🙌🏽
