With the silly season comes fireworks, something many dogs aren't big fans of 🙈

If you put yourself in their shoes... you're comfortably sitting on the couch, not a care in the world, then suddenly there's a bunch of loud and unexpected banging going on outside. Sounds scary, right?

Our dog's don't understand the pretty lights in the sky and the fun behind the noise, they just know there's something loud and unfamiliar happening.

So, here are some ways to keep your furry friend calm and happy through the next few days of fireworks. 🎆

✨ Keep them indoors!
✨ Mute the sound by closing the windows & turning on music or the TV.
✨ Feed them lots of their favourite treats!
✨ Prepare them for the sound by playing fireworks in the background on the TV in the lead up. Just quietly whilst you're cuddling on the couch or doing some training will do the trick. Be sure to give plenty of treats while you do this to make it positive.
✨ Distract them while they're occurring with cuddles, games & training.

Do you let your dog sleep in your bed?

If so, we'd love to hear why.
If not, we'd also love to hear why.

It's something that is often viewed as 'naughty' or a 'no, no' but in our home it is neither of those things.

Because to us, whatever makes you & your dog the happiest is what we will strive to achieve for you. There is no judgement from us as to what that looks like.

You want your dog to sleep in your bed? Great, let's look at safe ways for them to get up and down.
You don't want them to sleep in your bed? No problem, we'll help you create an alternative safe place and teach them that the bed is a no go zone.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question, simply what works best for you!

At IdaBoss Dog Training, we are dog owners ourselves and we understand all of these situations.

If you're looking for a judgement free & compassionate dog trainer, we're your people 💙

A DOG OWNERS GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS 🎄🐶

How to make the most wonderful time of the year, wonderful for your furry friends too:

✨ Avoid an unexpected vet trip by not feeding rawhide, ham, chocolate or cooked bones to your dog and be sure to keep any food related gifts out of their reach. Remember also that tinsel, baubles and wrapping paper aren't chew toys!

✨ A curious pup may find themselves tangled in or chewing on Christmas light wires, so be sure to keep them out of reach too.

✨ Doing some training or taking your dog for a walk prior to the arrival of visitors can help keep energy and stress levels down!

✨ Whilst you have visitors, ensure your dog has a safe space to escape should they need, like a crate or mat in the corner. Christmas can be overwhelming with lots of faces and noise. Ask visitors to allow your dog space unless your dog is welcoming a pat.

✨ Supervise your dog with any new treats or toys.

✨ With many people coming and going, be sure all visitors are mindful of closing all doors and gates behind them, no one wants their furry friend to go missing Christmas day!

✨ If there are small children around, ensure you are always supervising and that both the child and the dog are respectful of each other's space.

We wish you all a safe & happy Christmas! 🎅

What is it we love so much about Rottweilers?

We believe Rottweilers are a misunderstood breed. In society they are often viewed as 'scary' or 'aggressive'. A Rottweiler owner will tell you stories about how people will cross the street to avoid them on their daily walks, even though their dog is an absolute delight who wouldn't hurt a fly.

We believe, like many other breeds, they harness a gentle soul & a kind heart. But, unlike many other breeds, they're often not given the chance to show it.

We pride ourselves on breaking the stigma around the Rottweiler breed as we advocate for them in society & continue to train the Rottweiler's of Brisbane.

Whilst we DO train all dogs of any breed, age and background...
We are proud to be Rottweiler training specialists 💙🐾

Ever wondered why your dog does that funny little thing they do?
It might be part of the job they were bred for!

Every breed of dog was originally developed for a purpose - and those instincts still live strong in our modern-day couch companions.

For example:

🐾 Border Collies were bred to herd sheep. That intense stare, constant movement, and need to “round up” the kids or the other dogs? That’s herding instinct!

🐾 Labradors were bred to retrieve game for hunters. Their love of carrying toys (or socks) around is them “retrieving” in spirit.

🐾 Terriers were bred to dig out rodents. That hole in your garden? They’re just doing what they were built to do!

🐾 Huskies were bred to pull sleds. They’re born runners - no wonder they love to zoom and pull on the lead!

When dogs don’t have an outlet for these natural instincts, they can become frustrated or “naughty.” But really, they’re just trying to do their job!

Here’s how to help your dog feel fulfilled:

🐾 Give them breed-appropriate outlets – e.g. herding breeds love scentwork or trick training that makes them think.

🐾 Let retrievers play fetch, tug, or carry things on walks.

🐾 Offer terriers digging spots (a sandpit is perfect).

🐾 Give working dogs puzzles, sniffy walks, or structured games that engage their brains.

You don’t need a farm, a sled, or a flock of sheep - just a bit of creativity and understanding of what makes your dog tick️ 💙

Did you know that Vet visits don’t have to be stressful? 🩺

With a bit of prep and positive training, you can help your dog feel calm and confident at the vet. Start by making the clinic a happy place - make some time in your schedule to pop in just to say hi to the staff, grab a treat, or hop on the scales without any pokes or prods. Move at your dog's pace.

At home, practise gentle handling to get them used to it. Do things like touching paws, ears, and lifting lips so it’s no big deal when the vet needs to check these things. Keep sessions of this nature short, sweet, and full of yummy rewards!

Remember - your calm energy matters too. Take a breath, smile at your dog, and remind them they’ve got their favourite human right beside them 💙

How to make Christmas photos with your dog fun, stress-free & worth it! 🎅

Christmas photos with our dogs can be absolutely magical… if we set them up for success.

Here are some simple tips to help your dog shine in their photoshoot:

🎄 Start with small practice sessions before the day
Set up a little photo corner near your own Christmas tree and do a mock shoot with lots of treats to make it a positive experience & get them used to it.

🎄 Desensitise to flashes, props & new people
Photographers often have lights, reflectors and jingling festive décor. Slowly introduce your dog to similar sights and sounds at home. Let them sniff props, hear gentle jingles, and see lights turn on and off. All paired with treats and praise, of course!

🎄 Practise the greeting
If your dog gets excited meeting new people, practise polite hellos. Set up short, upbeat sessions with friends pretending to be the photographer, rewarding your dog for staying calm.

🎄 Bring the good treats - the really good ones
Think roast chicken, cheese, or their favourite chewy reward. High-value treats make it easier for your dog to look towards the camera and hold a pose.

🎄 Keep sessions short & sweet
Christmas photoshoots can be overstimulating. Let your dog take breaks, sniff around, and reset. A few minutes of downtime can make all the difference.

🎄 Choose a dog-friendly photographer
Someone who understands dogs will move slower, give your pup space, and capture their natural magic with no forced poses & no pressure. Ask ahead about their setup so you know what your dog will be walking into.

🎄 Bring comfort items
A mat, favourite toy, or familiar harness can help your dog feel grounded in a new environment.

🎄 Most of all - let your dog be themselves
Whether your dog sits beautifully with a bow tie or wiggles with excitement the whole time, Christmas photos are about capturing their joy and personality. Celebrate who they are.

Happy silly season everyone! ❤️✨⛄
