Hello Members,
Yesterday our Christmas photos started off well until Mother Nature unleashed sudden heavy rain. It turned our orderly procession of photos with “Santa “( thank you Daniel) into utter chaos! I think people may have left in haste with dress ups still on their dogs!
l want to thank Kimberley and her lovely assistant Maria for their hard work against the elements of nature. Hopefully everyone that wanted to take photos, got their chance. Thank you everyone 🙏🏻

Hi Members and friends, here is a video of our level 6 road safety (court work). This process has many small steps, which eventually teaches the dog to come around the court and not across the road, when recalled.

Hi Everyone,
As promised l gave some more details about the Kelpie looking for a home. He will possibly be at SOS on Sunday at 10am. Thank you

Free to a Good Home:
Maverick or Mav for short is a black and tan border collie cross kelpie, born September 2023. He has an energetic playful personality and loves people and has a lovely temperament. He has been with other dogs since birth, but can be reactive when meeting some new dogs. Mav has been living mostly in the country and now is living in the city which is the reason he has to be rehomed. He learns quickly and will do well with training. He can be a bit skittish.with new sounds, but this will improve once he has some training.
Maverick isn't desexed, but if this is a requirement for a good new home then I am willing to have the procedure done. He has had all injections and will follow up and get the proof for this. He has a halty, collar and harness that will be given to his new owners.

Congratulations to these Members 👏🏻
Well done in moving up another level. Most of all this marks the progress you are making towards freedom for your fur baby by teaching them how to work with you. Enjoy each step of the way!

Good Morning Members,
Please remember to put your clocks forward tonight when you go to bed.
Very exciting that we won’t have anymore training in the dark on Wednesday nights for a while. 😀

Hi Everyone,

Dear Members,
Please take note! I was lucky to be given this information!

Ok…. A feeling of depression and failure. Our dog took an Albuterol inhaler off the nightstand. Not sure if you all know this or not, but the residue apparently smells like meat to a dog. Needless to say, Tucker chewed it open. It popped in his mouth.

PSA: this is HIGHLY toxic to dogs. Their potassium levels crash and they are in danger of cardiac arrest. My brilliant wife rushed him to the vet. It likely saved his life.

At the Emergency Vet ( trust me , you don’t want to know the cost), they informed me this happens about 3 times a month. If you have Asthma, please be diligent with your inhaler. If they do get it, don’t f #%^ around. Get to the vet or the pet ER.

Feel free to share with other pet owners… the bigger dangers are the ones we don’t always see

This poor baby was kept in very undesirable conditions and used as a breeding dog-with a sibling. Ana works with SODR and together we found Skylar a new home where she is loved and taken care of in comfort. She comes to school and is getting better all the time. Thank you to her beautiful family 🙏🏻you are wonderful ♥️♥️

02/09/2024

Hi To All
I just received this and had to share it-

Skylars 4th birthday today! And she’s celebrating with a pup cake! What a different life she lives now and it’s all because of your school and how hard you all work and care for all dogs and of course thanks Anna! ❤️❤️

28/08/2024

Dear Members,
I have had several texts and fb messages asking about training tonight with the severe weather conditions expected. We will still be there but of course safety is of utmost importance so please evaluate what is best for you and your dog tonight.

Hi all Members and Friends, here is video of another challenge in level 6 Road Safety. We hope you enjoy it! Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team.

Level 6 Road Safety/ Court Work

Dear Members & Friends, This video may warm some hearts, as it does mine. This is a great example of a culmination of everything we teach at SOS- from basic obedience leading to exceptional, skilled training tasks. Listen to Shane's commands and tones to each individual dog while holding the others. As you know, it takes a lot of co-ordination and excellent technique to achieve this kind of result with not one but three dogs simultaneously. See how Shane connects, commits and cues his dogs. Truly inspirational work from the Master! Thank you Shane, from your Team 🐾🐾

Hi To All, Sincere apologies that this video failed to post before Christmas. Wishing one of our precious Level 6 participants (John & Bailey) a happy retirement, please visit us often! Thank you for all the years of dedication to SOS Training, we will miss you both🥰. This video is one of Shane's fun activities for the end of year. Congratulations to our newest level 6 member -also the winner of the prize. Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team🐾🐾

Hi Everyone, This video is one of our Wednesday night group tasks to challenge dogs to work at their level with dogs at different levels. Well done to handlers resetting their dog and achieving the obedience task! Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team 🐾🐾

Hi To All Members & Friends! Welcome back! We are almost ready to start back- this Wednesday 17th and this Sunday 21st of January. Please note though that the following Australia Day long weekend will be observed as it is the last hoorah before school returns! This video highlights one of our distraction activities we were requested to provide. We look forward to providing many more training opportunities over this year. Enjoy! Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team

Hi To All, This video is the second Postie Distraction video with our simulated post delivery service with our level 4,5 & 6 dogs being challenged. You will see one of our dogs reacting (wanting to chase the Postie) and being given a correction as she is notorious for such behavior. Her owners remain vigilant on this issue. Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team 🐾🐾

Hi To All, Over the last few weeks we have worked on some requested Distractions. This video is of the "Postie" on his bike as a challenge to our dogs. This is level 1 & 3 and the next post will be levels 4,5 &6. Most dogs were not reactive to the bike or the Postie on the street. Of course this can be different when the Postie comes to the dog's home but the same training strategies can be applied to reduce anxiety and reactivity. Shane, Sylvia & the SOS Team 🐾🐾
