In Queensland, it is illegal to lead a dog (or any animal) while riding a bicycle or any other wheeled leisure vehicle.

If caught, or evidenced via video or photo, police can issue an on-the-spot, or mailed fine for this offence.

This is an example of inconsiderate dog owners who don’t walk their dogs often enough then try to make up for it by forcing their dogs run, not giving them enough time to toilet or sniff.

You’re not doing your dog any favours.
Just WALK your dog.
It’s better for you and your dog.
Dogs need to sniff.

Just because it was expensive or you can hear the water trickling doesn’t make it healthy or a good idea.

Using a water recycling bowl for your pet can pose several health risks due to potential contamination.
These bowls can harbor bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens if not cleaned regularly, leading to diseases such as kennel cough, salmonella, giardia, and leptospirosis. The material of the bowl also plays a role; plastic bowls are particularly prone to scratches that harbor bacteria, while porcelain is easier to clean.
To use a water recycling bowl may suggest a lack of awareness or understanding of these risks by the owner.

It also implies that as the owner you might be prioritising convenience over the health and safety of your pet, as these bowls require diligent maintenance to ensure they remain safe for use.

Proper pet care involves regular cleaning of bowls with hot, soapy water and ensuring that the water is fresh and uncontaminated.

Simple, Porcelain is best - get one for inside your home and 1 per dog for outside.

This is my dogs in enrichment toy library. I have to keep 4 border collies mentally stimulated.
Enrichment toys are vital for your dog’s mental and physical health, providing stimulation that prevents boredom and destructive behaviours. Regularly changing these toys keeps your dog engaged and excited, encouraging problem-solving and curiosity. Keeping the toys clean by washing them after each use is essential for your dog’s health, reducing the risk of bacteria and parasites. By ensuring variety and hygiene in your dog’s enrichment routine, you promote a happier, healthier pet.
Message me if you have any questions about where to get these items.

This morning it was grey and wet. Not the sort of day to get 5 border collies wet. I had to use enrichment toys for and hour to mentally drain them.

I played them the same sleepy music I used for my kids 20+ years ago for nap time.
This is what happened.

I always wash my dog’s toys after use, especially if there are treats involved. I just soak them in a bucket with soaker powder overnight then rinse thoroughly the next day and they come up like new.
If you have jingle balls from Kmart, I recommend you wash and dry immediately otherwise the bell inside goes rusty if put in soaker.

For anyone who has this style of licky mat for their dogs I saw this hack on Facebook. Beat an egg then put in the microwave for 30 seconds.
1000w power seems to to be the sweet spot, although there’s still a runny bit, but that shouldn’t be a problem for most dogs.

Does anyone watch this show?
I can’t believe some of the problems people have with dogs on this show.
If you know a Dog Owner with similar problems, please put them in touch with me.
I’m happy to help and the cost is the same as just normal training, plus it usually only takes 2 hours.
If I can’t help them - it’s free.
