It's been a busy week.
Before Amber left we wanted her to be ready for her new home.
What do we do to prepare our puppies or rescue to go to new homes.
We do alot of place training and off switch work. We build food and toy drives. We crate train and toilet train the dog.
We send them for sleepovers at friends or other trainers homes so we don't get separation anxiety and makes it easier for the dogs to adjust.
They go to doggie daycare at Calm K9 Clinic and at mine,we work on socailsation and work on dog Neutrality.
We get health check ups done before they go.
I've had Amber since she was born.
She is whiskey and pebbles (who use to be shandy) pup. She was a singleton.
We had many people inquiring about her.
But I was very picky on the home she went to as we wanted a pet home not a breeding home.
After 1year and 2 months I finally found her forever home. And so far the meet and greet and the settling in at home is going well.
Thank you Daniel and family for choosing beautiful Amber.
I can see she will be spoilt and loved deeply.
Can't wait for more updates.
Amber will also be able to see pebbles every now and then as they live near each other and Amber owner house sits pebbles. Which is so exciting. 🐾🧡🐕
We love you Amber and I'm so greatful for waiting and taking my time to find the right home.
Good luck Amber I know you will make us proud. 🐕🧡🐾

⚠️ The Truth About Pacing in Dogs: A Sign of Compensation, Not Efficiency

Introduction: Is Pacing in Dogs Really More Efficient?

There is a widely held belief in the dog world that a pacing gait—where a dog moves both legs on the same side of the body together—is more energy-efficient than a trot. That pacing is a restful gait, which allows for energy conservation.

🔎 However, biomechanical studies on both quadruped animals and quadruped robots suggest otherwise. In fact, pacing at trotting speeds is often compensatory, meaning the dog is likely adjusting its movement from a contralateral gait (trot) to an ipsilateral gait (pace) to avoid the torque inherent in a contralateral gait.

🧠 Understanding why this happens, and what we should be doing about it, is crucial for dog owners, trainers, and breeders.

Read the full blog post, with marked up, explanatory graphics, and linked studies on my website.

Good morning everyone.
There has been a baiting in tuncurry and forster.
Please check your yards and stay vigilant with your pets.
These aren't my dogs or clients that have been effected but this is a warning to let everyone know this is happening.
This is why we crate our dogs when we aren't home. And why I enclosure train as well. 🐕🐾🧡
Stay safe everyone. 🧡🐕🐾

⚠️IMPORTANT MICROCHIP UPDATE FOR PET OWNERS
Soon HomeSafe ID, the microchip registration database used by AWLQ , RSPCA , many vets and rescue groups will no longer be functional
This means you will no longer be able to access the database to update details or identify your pet if it goes missing . We thus urge all our clients to check what company your pets microchip is with and if with HomeSafe ID register them with another company to keep them safe and easily identified if ever they should become lost.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
*Check your pets microchip Registration at Pet Address http://petaddress.com.au This will tell you which company your details are with . If you' re unsure of your microchip # we can scan your pet for you
*Re -register with another company if your details are with HomeSafeID . You can either do this by phone or online for a small fee set by the new registry
*It is also a good time if you are not with HomesafeID to check your details are correct with the registry you are with.
If you pet's registration is not updated and they become lost , vets,councils and shelters will be
unable to view your contact details when scanning the chip. This makes reuniting you with your pet
much harder
Please check NOW - this will ensure your pets future security and safety. ⚠️
