Does your dog gobble the food way too fast?
Slow feeders are now available at Fur Babies Forster Tuncurry Boutique 🐾

Tune in today 24 June 11.10am for a pet talk at Great Lakes FM. Today we are talking about energy and body language.
Today our foster boy Arlo, dingo x dog visited Forster Main Street. Definitely prefers the bush, but he tolerated it very well 🐾
Recall seems to be the hot topic atm. This is probably the most common thing that people tell me they struggle with, yes so important. Level up dog training has put up a great post on reasons why you may have struggles :)
This what our brake looks like today 😅
Time for pet talk, today we are talking about domestic dogs instincts to rely on humans and how to utilise this when training recalls.

Happy 4th birthday Mr Rex! We love having you as part of our pack 🐾🐾🐾
It’s raining what now?
Here’s some ideas on how to provide mental stimulation working on heeling foundations in small space. This is our unedited session after a brake this morning:
Have fun connecting with your doggies indoors 🐾🐾🐾
All my dogs are different levels, I’m rewarding lots to create a strong understanding, muscle memory and clean heeling. Sassy is on continuous schedule of reinforcement while Panda is on intermittent schedule of reinforcement. Meaning Sassy gets rewarded every time she does the smallest bit right, while Panda gets rewarded sometimes after performing more than one skill.
Bowie heels on higher level, so he is on random schedule of reinforcement which means he may get rewarded every time, or after multiple skills or sometimes he will do multiple minutes and eventually get rewarded in a different location.
To create a clean performance there’s no rush fading out rewards.
Long but a fabulous day of Rally Obedience trials with awesome results!
First place 🥇
And Novice Title
In the first trial Mr Bowie was absolutely perfect but mummy skipped a sign and got us disqualified 😑…
Luckyly I lifted my game in the second trial and didn’t let him down that time ❤️❤️❤️
Very excited to start working on the advance level in Rally Obedience.
It’s Welcome to the pack Mr Brax, he had a great day with our Tiny Tuesday pack 🐾
Tune in today at 11.10am to listen to a pet talk. Today’s talk is about clear communication and helping dogs make good choices.

This morning we went to have some fun with the pack on the beach. As much as I love training and teaching dogs fancy stuff, I really love letting dogs be dogs and it is so essential for their well being. These dogs are fully off leash trained, and that feeling is amazing when you know you can trust your dog, it will not go anywhere and has no desire to go anywhere else since they know that all their needs are met.

Saturday pack training was lots of fun in a very distracting windy environment. Great job everyone! #calmk9clinic #progressnotperfection #dogsbeingdogs
On this Thursday this pack of 14 different shapes, sizes and energy levels had a blast. Have a look what they got up to. #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #doggydaycare
With todays training pack we worked on lots of foundations on each dogs individual levels. Very productive sessions. #calmk9clinic #progressnotperfection #dogtraining
Just testing how much Panda will focus on obstacles when the whole pack is working as a distraction… we weren’t perfect, but it’s about #progressnotperfection #calmk9clinic #dogagility #highdistractiondogtraining
This week we’ve been very busy! Check out what our pack got up to on Thursday. We also welcomed a new member Arlo the GSD. On Thursday we had 3 dogs called Arlo in the pack 😃. #calmk9clinic #dogboarding #doggydaycare #dogsbeingdogs
Chopper, one of Arlo’s brothers getting used to been given structure by humans and getting used to walking in leash. #rescuerehabilitaterehome #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #progressnotperfection #dogsbeingdogs
Fun Wednesday pack has been super busy today, so much energy and drive in this pack! #calmk9clinic #doggydaycare #dogsbeingdogs #packlife
Anyone who has been wondering what happened to Arlo’s brothers? They are in foster care with a beautiful family. They came to stay with us for a few days while his foster mum and dad are on a holiday. They were all so happy for this reunion 😍. #calmk9clinic #rescuerehabilitaterehome #dogsbeingdogs
Here’s our Fun Wednesday pack on this rainy morning! Dogs absolutely had the ball running in the rain this morning. We also welcomed young Sabi the border collie to the pack. #calmk9clinic #doggydaycare #dogsbeingdogs
And another clip of our Funday Wednesday Pack from last week that I forgot to post #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #doggydaycare
Tiny Tuesday pack is having a fun filled day playing, pack walking and doing activities #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #doggydaycare
Saturday training pack, we see lots of progress today with recalls as well in the obstacle section! Today we finished our session in a play date along with analysing dog interactions and practicing how to interfere if someone is not being appropriate. #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #dogtraining #progressnotperfection
Adventures day here at Calm K9 Clinic today. We encountered a random off leash dog today on our walk. Sassy and Panda did marvellous job steering it away from the pack, love working together with dogs 🐾 #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #doggydaycare
Check out Obis progress. Obi’s handler originally contacted me because of his reactivity towards humans and dogs. Together with 4 Paws Dog Training Taree we have developed a program for Obi to help with his reactivity. The progress he has made is incredible, and today he came over for a play date for the first time. He’s social skills with dogs were perfect and he had a fantastic day with the pack. Next step is learn not to be frightened by new humans. #progressnotoerfection #reactivedogtraining #dogsbeingdogs #calmk9clinic #4pawsdogtraining
Bob is making great progress! Up until today we have been working on Bobs loose leash walking skills and how to be neutral around dogs. Today we took a leap and organised a play session with Sassy. Great success, they both had fabulous time and loved being able to be dogs, this handsome guy got Sassy to go onto her full puppy mode… my camera definitely missed the best parts 🙃. #calmk9clinic #dogsbeingdogs #reactivedogtraining #dogsbeingdogs
