And just like that, he’s here.

Our little man Ziggy arrived in the early hours this morning, him and mum are both doing well and his big brothers are absolutely stoked with their new best bud.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of my clients for your patience- it has been a crazy few months! Over the next few days I will be getting back to those of you who have sent inquiries or have had to delay bookings, and get back into things starting next week!

I was devastated by the news that one of my clients Ruby the Cavoodle passed away suddenly last week due to a paralysis tick. I had the pleasure of working with Ruby over a few sessions and she was a beautiful, cheeky and fun little pup!

It’s a heartbreaking reminder of how important it is to check your dog after they have been outside, especially in bushland or long grass. Here on the Gold Coast and the East Coast of Oz ticks are particularly bad over the spring and summer months.

I’ve put together some information that might be helpful for identifying early symptoms of paralysis ticks as well as some details on how to check your dog thoroughly.

If you see any of these signs or find a tick, seek help from a vet immediately.

Ruby’s family paid for a few sessions in advance and while they are devastated to lose her, they’ve asked me to pay the sessions forward to someone who needs them. So in honour of little Ruby, if you or someone you know is in need of some support with their dog but have been putting it off due to financial reasons, please reach out via DM 🙏🏽

Swipe along for some info and tips for searching for signs and symptoms ➡️ last slide is a photo of a paralysis tick (although they vary in size).

Got all the gear? And still no idea how to walk your dog? When it comes to dog training, the tools we use are important, but they’re only as effective as our communication. Whether it’s a leash, a clicker, or treats, without clear guidance and boundaries, dogs can easily become confused about what is expected of them. Really, it’s not about the equipment itself, but how we use it to convey our expectations ✅ Dogs thrive on structure and consistency, so establishing boundaries helps them understand what is expected of them during walks. Unclear communication can lead to: 🤯 Confusion 😤 Frustration 🫣 And a lack of control over your dog’s behaviour. The reality is that no piece of equipment will fix your issues unless you put the time and effort into establishing rules and consistently enforcing/ rewarding them. Need some help? Send me a DM 📬
