New dog owners! Puppy people! A word!

Just real quick. That word doesn't mean 'meet every dog in existence.' Yeah I know, it sounds like it should.

Switch socialisation for exposure and you're onto something. Look don't touch, baby πŸ‘οΈ

Pepper advising you to have a great week and ENJOY THE COLD WEATHER.

I think we all learned our lesson last week about wishing for Summer 🌞

Only a few weeks now until your dog won't be able to go outside between, say 7am and 10pm πŸ˜… Enjoy em 😜

Hey fellow dog freak,
training and I are putting together an online community of dog owners and trainers in the greater Melbourne area.

This is a space to connect, explore ideas and get help if you need it.

Both of us have ties to rescue (she is a rescue titan and I am merely dipping a toe), and what is becoming clearer and clearer is that people are struggling, and dogs are paying the price.

So if you need training help, but can't afford a one on one session, or you want to meet other reactive dog owners in your area for social walks, jump into the Love Dogs Collective. We're a group on Facebook, and on Thursday evenings, we band together to take our spicy dogs for walks as a team. No one's in charge, but everyone is encouraged to have a voice and help where they can.

See you there, legends 🀍

No one wants to play a game they can't win.

Dogs who play well together level down or up, according to their opponent's size and strength. It's no fun to play with someone who beats you every time.

So lose, sometimes. But lose convincingly πŸ˜‰πŸ€‘

Had a blast teaching Phelle how to pull into her harness for mill work the other day. From a timid, mistrustful country collie, she's come a really long way and is in exceptional hands with her owner ❀️

Are you gonna train your dog today?

5 minutes. Three times a day. The possibilities are immense.

I spent five minutes making this post. Five minutes is f**k all. Do it for your dog πŸ•

Met Sugo this morning. Newly rehomed, he's landed on his feet with an ace owner who wants to get ahead of the curve.

If you have a new dog, here is a checklist βœ”οΈ

Drag line on the dog inside so that you can easily guide them
Leash manners
Crate training or limiting access so they don't chew on or ingest things they shouldn't
Spend time just hanging with them - get to know your new friend
Vet check
Don't let them meet random dogs. If you have friends with well balanced, social or neutral dogs, hang out with them after a slow and safe introduction
Good quality gear. Metal hardware, well fitted collars/ harnesses
Start off heavy on management. If you don't need it, rad. Strip it back when you're confident your dog knows the rules of the house
Move at the dog's pace. You've got years to explore the world together. They've just been through a monumental upheaval, so don't expect too much too soon ❀️

Rescue greyhounds. A whole different kettle of fish.

This dude has been learning to feel secure and happy in his amazing new home; his ace owner and I love to nerd out about behaviour and training fundamentals.

Go Shorty 😍

This dude's gonna be bigggg. He's like 5 months old.

If you own a large breed puppy, get ahead of the game and get some foundational training early. The bigger your dog, the smaller the margin for error.

Plus, no one wants to be wrangling an upright wolf 🐺
