The Michael Ellis Melbourne Seminar was held over the weekend and I certainly learned a heap!

- Competition Heeling
- Advanced Obedience
- Managing Arousal

I certainly had to manage my own arousal when I got to meet the great man ๐ŸฅฒHeโ€™s one of my personal heroes and learning from his in person has long been on my bucket list!

Iโ€™m excited for round 2 when Iโ€™ll see him on the Sunshine Coast when host him again.

Thanks to and for hosting the Melbourne event!

What other breeds should they try this with?

English Mastiffs - The race would cause the tectonic plates to shift

Frenchies - 50% would have a heart attack before finishing

Pugs - the snorting would burst eardrums nation wide

Akitas - theyโ€™d all just want to punch on

Poodles - too cool to race

Rottweilers - their ADHD would kick in halfway through the race and theyโ€™d do something else

Belgian Malinois - wouldnโ€™t stop running and would literally circle the globe if it meant winning

Weimaraner - would turn back halfway to be with their mum

English Bulldog - not a single participant

English Staffy - 500 dogs running and screaming without knowing why theyโ€™re running in the first place

If youโ€™re looking for a puppy school with a difference, THIS IS IT ๐Ÿ˜‡

Instead of 4 weeks, we train for 10!

Instead of high fives, we teach REAL training!

Instead of training at a vet/pet store where sick dogs frequent, we train at sterile facilities!

Hereโ€™s a bit about our program ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

We train for 5 weeks at our sterile facility until the pups are fully vaccinated. For weeks 6-10 weeks train out in the real world ๐ŸŒ at places like the beach ๐Ÿ๏ธ park ๐ŸŒฒ cafe โ˜•๏ธ shopping centre ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

We donโ€™t teach things like high-fives and roll over ๐Ÿ™ƒ but instead we teach:
- loose lead walking ๐ŸŽฃ
- parking ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ
- recall ๐Ÿชƒ
- noise desensitisation โ›ˆ๏ธ ๐ŸŽ‡ ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšœ ๐Ÿ๏ธ
- how to behave at the vet & groomer ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโ€โš•๏ธ
- we discuss home behaviour each week ๐Ÿง 
& SO MUCH MORE!

This really is the premiere puppy school on the Gold Coast. So, if youโ€™re wanting a puppy school with a difference, THIS IS IT ๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿผ

Our new DUDT Truck ๐Ÿ›ป

Thanks to the guys at Kloster Car Group for being brilliant to deal with.

As you may have seen, my car was stolen 6 weeks ago and was only just recovered in the last couple of days. Itโ€™s been super weird being without a car for the last 6 weeks, but itโ€™s great to finally close that chapter by getting back on the road today.

HUGE shoutout and appreciation to our friends Chloe & Scott for lending me their wheels to keep me on the road and fully operational! We love you guys โค๏ธ

On another note, I canโ€™t wait to see Nelsonโ€™s ๐Ÿฆ huge smile when he first rides in the new tray (big change from his back seat hammock) and seeing his big goofy head out the window ๐Ÿ˜‚

06/08/2024

๐Ÿก Weโ€™re finally back home (and reunited with Nelson) so weโ€™re back in full swing with private training.

Nelsonโ€™s good night routine is bringing us a different toy each night, sitting beside the bed and staring at us while he gets a neck scratch. Sometimes he needs a minute, sometimes he needs 5 and then he just takes himself off to bed ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ it was nice to have this straight back on our first night home ๐Ÿ˜‚

DOG SPORTS IN THE OLYMPICS!? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
๐Ÿ”ต โšซ๏ธ ๐Ÿ”ด
๐ŸŸก ๐ŸŸข

Do you think dog sports, should be featured in the Olympics? Whether thatโ€™s:
- protection based sports such as IGP/PSA
- obedience based sports such as Rally-O
- athletic based sports like Agility/Dock Diving

After watching some of the equestrian sports the other day, it made me realise thereโ€™s not THAT much different to dog sports. A well trained athlete that happens to be an animal, and a well practised, well rehearsed handler.

Thereโ€™s obvious debates, ethical issues and questions around legitimacy of ANY animal based sports in the Olympics, and equestrian sports have felt the brunt of that in recent weeks.

BUT, what I really want to know, do you think dog sports should be in the Olympics? If so, what type of sport? Genuinely interested to hear any and all opinions whether youโ€™re involved in dog sports or not. Let me know below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Iโ€™m officially enrolled in NePoPo Gold School! ๐Ÿฅ‡

To say that Iโ€™ll soon be certified as a NePoPo Gold K9 Trainer has been a goal and dream of mine for a long time.

Itโ€™s the language of modern dog training, the worldโ€™s best training system and the same certification many of my heroes like Pat Stuart, Kirubell Yohannes & Bart Bellon hold.

What does it mean for you guys, my clientele and Down Under Dog Trainer community? It means Iโ€™ll be returning from WA as a better trainer for all of you.

If youโ€™ve never heard of NePoPo ยฎ๏ธ training, I highly recommend you check it out on YouTube!

What do you WISH you could say to irresponsible dog owners, but canโ€™t? ๐Ÿค

I want to know what, YOU as a dog owner, have had felt like saying, but havenโ€™t or canโ€™t. ๐Ÿฅฒ

This a place to vent those frustrations, and who knows ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ maybe one of those people will actually read these ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™ll start:
- I canโ€™t STAND when during my home consults, I hear men very proudly say, โ€œthe dog dog listens to me but not to my partnerโ€ what a ๐Ÿคก my answer is always:
โ€œYouโ€™ve conditioned your dog to only respond to a harsher, deeper done that most men find easy to make, but most females find difficult. Thatโ€™s poor teamwork.โ€

What do you want to say? Tell me below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Letโ€™s talk about KIDS WALKING DOGS ๐Ÿฆฎ ๐Ÿšถ

Iโ€™ve been seeing a lot of this lately, and I have some thoughts on it, and Iโ€™d also like to hear your own in the comments ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

The Positives โž•
- great that the kids want to be included and help
- great responsibility exercise for kids if done right
- great for the dog to learn to listen to kids
- great exercise for both

But for me, after a VERY dangerous situation I saw today, I think some parents need rethink the way they do this. Hereโ€™s what happened ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Mid session I saw a young kid, 5 or 6, being DRAGGED by his large black Labrador down the footpath. Both were having a great time, BUT, the kids parents were 100-200m behind him, and the Lab was pulling towards an on lead dog who was clearly very dog reactive and didnโ€™t want anything to do with it. But this wasnโ€™t for the child to know or understand.

Had that dog made itโ€™s way all the way to the dangerous dog, that dog wouldโ€™ve 1000% attacked the Lab and a pretty serious fight wouldโ€™ve broke out, with a 6 year old at the end of the leashโ€ฆ that to me is dangerous for a whole host of reasons. Best case scenario, an antisocial dog goes backward with their training and rehabilitation. Worst case, serious injury for a dog or child.

So, hereโ€™s what I think ๐Ÿ’ญ

- Effective control is still effective control. Itโ€™s awesome to get your kids involved but YOU ๐Ÿซต๐Ÿผ still need to be in control overall.

- Probably best do this one in quiet areas only ๐Ÿคซ

- Not every dog is going to be a suitable candidate for this unfortunately ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

- Keep getting your kids involved, but in a way that doesnโ€™t put other people at risk ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

But hereโ€™s where Iโ€™ll throw it to you. What do YOU think about this? Let me know below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
