Meet the newest team member Benji. ❤️🐾

Benji has previously been to group classes but unfortunately wasn’t passing. He was also still pulling terribly on walks, jumping mouthing and barking. The previous school had told them to ignore his barking and the family received a complaint 😞

What a shame, but also he is very smart as you can see from the video. Although i know he is so smart he will try to find ways to outsmart his family, especially in the first two weeks. They have assured me that they are more stubborn than him and as they haven’t given up and tried something new that suits him, he will do well!

Good Boy Benji! Great Work Sally abd Jason! 😊👍

Kimba graduated to collar training today! ❤️🐾

I was so proud of her when i walked in today and she did not bark at me once! And only one teeny little jump, what a difference from our first lesson!!!

She passed her collar obedience tests and we went straight to practicing with our pretend bread baby lol! Although this may seem funny, if we can’t get our dogs to listen to us over a piece of bread then she definitely won’t listen to mum and dad with the baby! We created an invisible bubble around the bread baby and taught her to respect that space! 🙌

We also worked on babies bedroom door as a no go zone and went on a walk with the pram! I could not be prouder of her after only 3 lessons!

Good Girl Kimba! Great Work Jenny and Micah! 😊👍

There is nothing better than getting a text from Silvia that Jerry and Enzo are getting along together! When your fur babies are fighting it takes a lot of consistent dedication to rehabilitate them back together.

Silvia has never given up and her love for her furry children is fierce! Special mention to Anton her human son who has always been involved in lessons since the start of this journey! 🙌❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾👏

Jovie graduated to collar today! ❤️🐾

Jovie has come such a long way in only 3 lessons and her previous behaviours of jumping on people is almost an extinct way of acting 🙌

She held stays like a champion under ball distractions and i doubt anything or anyone could stop her running to mum and dad when they recall her to name! Her love for them is evident! ❤️

Good Girl Jovie! Great Work Marco and Donna! 😊👍

Ponyo graduated to collar today! ❤️🐾

My goodness what a difference from the first time I walked in to see a very stressed young lady. Today although happy to see me she was relaxed and happy and that is why we train. When we step up and display kind consistent leadership, our dogs can relax as they know they don’t have to protect you.

Good Girl Ponyo! Great Work Nikki and Tom! 😊👍

Donnie Aka Darko has his second lesson! ❤️🐾

I was so impressed when i walked in today and he did not bark at me! This is excellent progress for Donnie who was very scared of me the first time i came! 🙌

We taught him heeling and recall to name and he thoroughly enjoyed himself! We also went for a walk past the local Fish n Chip shop to tweak his walking there. He did very well, but Aunty Mandy didn’t blame him lol, it smelled delicious and tasted delicious when i went there after the lesson! 😉

Good Boy Donnie! Great Work Georgia and Brad! 🙂👍

Meet the newest team members Hudson and Luca! ❤️🐾

These little men are very cute and remind me of furry smiley faces! 😊

They took to the training well today and we went for a lovely walk. Hudson was pulling strongly on lead and Luca was lagging behind, however todsy was pleasantly surprising for mum!

Good Boys Luca and Hudson! Great Work Georgia and Maddy! 😊👍

Meet the newest team member human baby Archer! 💙💙💙

I woke up this morning to the most beautiful update and photo. For those of you who remember Loki and Chip. Clare and Mitch adopted them as a bonded trauma pair from the RSPCA and once they realised that a human was on the way they wanted to ensure that they would still be included in families life 💙🐾❤️

“Hi Mandy,
Hope you’re well! 🥰
Just wanted to send you this pic update of Loki and Chip with our 3 month old son, Archer. Your training has helped us create and reinforce boundaries with the doggos to respect Archie’s space - particularly when he is on the floor as pictured.
Thank you! 💛
-Clare”

Rest In Peace Beautiful Jude, fly free over the rainbow bridge 💔🌈🐾

It is with a very sad heart that I share the passing of our beautiful girl Jude. My condolences and love to Lisa and her family. As Lisa said, she had hoped for 15 years, not 15 months and that is a feeling that i resonate with entirely. The bond between Lisa and Jude was beautiful to see and our hearts are with her at this heartbreaking time.

Perro’s second lesson! ❤️🐾

Perro did well today and we taught him to drop and stay. Even under the distraction of his toy he held that stay!

Meet the newest team member Tilly! ❤️🐾

Tilly is super sweet but her jumping on people and pulling on the lead were our main targets today. In fact if i remember right Brent told ne in our original phone call that if I could fix that in one lesson it would be a miracle. Her walking for both Brent and Monique was beautiful and i particularly love the way she looks at her dad for his positive reactions!

We set boundaries in the house and worked on no jumping, all of which she smashed! Her only sticking point was the drop initially flipping us all the paw. But once she realised that we weren’t giving up on her she settled into it gracefully! 🥰

Good Girl Tilly! Great Work Brent and Monique! 😊👍

Meet the newest team member Perro! ❤️🐾

Perro is a 5 month old Kelpie cross and he is as sweet as he is cheeky.

He did very well today but when we went on our walk unfortunately someone let their dog out onto the street. Why you would do that I don’t know. Being a dog trainer I knew that his body language was not friendly. I moved Perro away and the dog lunged in growling and Perro screamed. At that moment i did what i had to do to keep Perro safe and fortunately, the dog left and went home. This is the moment we all dread. What if it had been a child walking there dog, i dread to think what would have occurred.

In this moment please if you have neighbours who continuously let their dog out off lead. Complain to your local council, you may be saving a dog ot a childs life by doing so. Fortunately this story ended well for Perro today. But it was just lucky.

Good Boy Perro! Great Work Kane and Dula. 😊👍

Danni’s course pass! ❤️🐾⭐️🐾❤️

Danni smashed her goals today and on acerage! Listening to mum and stopping so Ruby could strp up to her side and ask her to do obedience! From the sit under distractions to to that beautiful recall. She did have to reset with the football but that is nothing in the scheme of things. As she sees the football as a little sheep to round up it’s important she listens around it and doesn’t try ro steal childrens balls 👏

Special mention to Super Dog Mum Ruby who did this most of the time with little Angus strapped to her! Determination equals success!

Good Girl Ruby! Great Work Ruby! 😊👍
