The MIMSafe Variocage is doing its job in this accident. You will see that the cage is still in reasonable shape, holding its form and allowing the dogs inside to survive the accident AND remain safe in the vehicle and not jump out a window in a panic.

Nesreča nikoli ne počiva 💥

Karis in kužki so bili udeleženi v prometni nesreči. Kljub popolno uničenem vozilu je MIMsafe VarioCage kužke obvaroval in so tako kužki kot Karis nesrečo preživeli brez večjih poškodb. 🥺🚗

Okay, while we are not doing puppy classes at the moment, friends or family often still ask me for advice.

Also, I took on a 9-month-old Aussie Shepherd about 6 months or so ago, and during this time I have felt all of these feelings in this post.

Puppies and young dogs are hard work!

Stop thinking your dog needs to be perfect and start looking at what they are....dogs!

Just like us, they have good days and some no to good days.

Dear new puppy parents, let’s have an honest chat for a moment.

Your puppy is unlikely to master toilet training or settle in completely within the first three months of joining your home. You may feel like you’re making progress, only to face setbacks. There will be bites, barking, tantrums, and the occasional missing shoe.

All of this is perfectly normal!

When I adopted Venice, now three years old, I experienced tears, frustration, and overwhelming doubts. There were moments filled with regret and insecurity, but also times of joy, celebration, and a sense of achievement that filled me with confidence.

It’s high time we trainers stopped presenting the idea that “if you just follow this formula, everything will be perfect” because that simply isn’t the case. No book, article, or TikTok video can truly understand your puppy's unique personality or see you as an individual.

However, if you stick to your plan, even when the approach feels unconventional, I assure you that you will come out stronger on the other side!

Ever wanted to check out Nosework for dogs? I have been learning this new fun sport and it is great to see your dog think use their sniffer!

It is great for older dogs or dogs who may not be keen on interacting with dogs.

Learning at home via an online course is easy and convenient. So you then just set up practice sessions and away you go.

Our first 6 week ONLINE beginner class will be starting soon.

Covering the core values and foundation skills needed to make a great nosework team. Cost $195

Ideal for remote teams.
