Merry Christmas, Curious Canines isn't really practicing for the moment mum's too unwell, still taking expressions of interest though. The bestest heart dog Kovu says hello and we are still have each other, always no matter what. We keep getting up somehow, although we may be tired confused and a little broken we are still here. WARRIORS for choosing to stay despite how big our feels are. Merry Christmas, if you hate Xmas like us an extra paws of love from us.
A dose of Basil, that you probably didnt know you needed, you're welcome! ππ§ πππ¦π π₯°π€π
When you get stood up, but dogs exist π πβ€ & provide support, must of somehow known that I'd need him today, because I took him in the car today, that was a good decision, as it turned out. πΎ
Carly telling it, how it is, she's a bit of a legend ! This is something that has been playing on my mind for ages! I'm the same with eye contact too! π¦β€π§ π
Spence's got the Smarts & the Looks too! πβ€π§ ππ¦πΎπ

Uther being Cheeky on his New Deck! ππΎ plus Mia, busy doing Mia things! πΎ
SONNY! Could he be any more photogenic? Such a good boy too! Onlead walking whilst passing over dog skills are getting so brilliant! We also worked on Mat Training, settle in the park around other dogs & started teaching a release cue as well
Bee is currently a very Cautious Canine, she's busy forming her intial impression of me!
For Bee most people are scary!
I'm a new person to her, being dog savvy & a Dog Trainer Behaviour Consultant I don't do things that are likely to make her more frightened, I avoid direct eye contact & eye balling behaviours π I ignores her, I don't move into her space, I don't lure or bribe her towards me with food, I don't make sudden movements & I sure as hell don't attempt to Pat her! She did eventually choose to bravely approach & sniff me!! If I were to interpret her approach as her consent to start interacting directly like start eye balling her & attempt to pat her in that moment that would have just confirmed her fears & set her bravery and ability to take a leap of trust back, because it would of terrified her at close range!! Also it would of further confirmed that humans are in fact scary & unpredictable ! even the ones like me that dont seem as scary as most other humans!
What I am doing is Dog Trainer & Behaviour Geek stuff - constant behaviour observations; reading all her non verbal dog language, the way she moves, her subtle language throughout consult, how she relates to her people, whilst discussing that with her people !
I look forward to working with Bee & Her family more! Watch this space and rememeber to give dogs space when asked! & no you can not pat all dogs!
Met Mila the other day, I love puppy time & puppy training jobs ππΎ
Ghost & Mawson, these Guys make my heart so happy! It certainly showed that their mum has been dedicated to practicing with them!
A sense of power in life, it comes from being the proud guardian of Husky dogs who you are training to walk beautifully onlead! Right? π
Loose Lead Walking Training is difficult & takes lots of time patience, commitment & consistency! There are also just so many things to learn for both dog & person.
Shout out to Maggie who is doing an absolutely fantastic job π, I saw her practicing whilst I was driving the other day, I was so flipping exciting by the beautiful training I was seeing ! π Honestly if i didnt have another booking to dash to that day, I would of probably jumped out of the car & started cheer leading the team! Would of been Insanely distracting for the dogs though, I suppose ! π€£π
I have been meaning to share some video clips of walking from our last lesson, come to think of it!
Some Lola vibes! One of her talents- Ancient Noble Statue Dog!
Local Artist painted a slightly abstract Landscape of the neighbourhood view & she's in that Art, chilling in her yard π
Naturally, her wonderful Person had to purchase the art when they discovered LOLA in the picture! π

First video! So Reactive Dog Training done well shouldn't be exciting! If it's exciting & stressful then it's not being conducted particularly well.
This is us starting at an appropriate Distance for this dog, the learning team is not likely to react in a way that would be counter productive, such as becoming overly excited / stressed from arousal that would hinder the learning process & parts of the cognitive brain we want to engage & strengthen !
Happy Valentine's Day ! We celebrated friendship love & our furry friendship love is very special! Give em some extra love from me π Our bestest furends! ββββ

We had another wonderful visit at North Hobart vet on Thursday; thanks to the team members/nurses who were more than happy to help by throwing treats for Ollie!β€β€ Ollie is frightened of unknown people and can be nervous at the vets. Helpful tips for fearful dogs below! Don't try to food lure the dog closer to what they think is scary; it will likely create conflict within the dog: Gosh I want treat but need to go near the scary! You will see scared dogs stretching out to grab the treat and then they dart away or they look up and freak out about how close thet are. No direct eye balling the dog π it's scary! Never offer the (hand) outstretched hand for dogs to sniff, also super scary!! dogs can smell you just fine (dogs noses are amazing) if they wanted too they'd move closer to sniff you! Never assume you can pet or approach any dog you see without checking with their person first; and with the dog of course! It's often best to stand to side talk calmly and warmly, let them approach sniff you and drop some treats, crouch down etc. Lastly always seek the help of a postive dog trainer if your dog is showing fears, we are here to help! ππβ€β€
Is your Sit soild enough that you can drop a hand full of snacks and your dog won't get up untill released? Ollies is π₯³πͺ! Might have to start dropping cooked steaks to may it more challenging π
Zarah and mum playing an Engagement Game of chase me β€ team work β€
