โ
๏ธ In order to add this awesome tool as a functional way to reward your dog not only must they love it, they must also bring the toy back! For some dogs this comes naturally for others not so much!

Getting out and about exploring bunnings for the first time!

โ๏ธCrate trainingโ๏ธ
is essential, this simple yet effective training tool can not only save your dogs life, but prevent many of the separation related behaviours from ever manifesting!
This lucky dog would have never survived had it not been for the crate!
Recall! Arguably one of the most important skills every dog should have!
Are you confident your dog will come running back when called?
When the recall itself becomes the reward you are well on your way to not only achieving a fast powerful recall but most importantly a reliable recall!!!
Awesome to see these guys out & about enjoying their day...Stress Free ๐ถโ๏ธ๐ง
When most people think of obedience or mention their dog is trained.
It is usually followed by something like he knows "sit"
Or he can "shake"
These are the two most common examples people give and usually will only perform inside the family home or back yard!
Our goal is real world functional obedience.
Wherever you go wherever you are your dog maintains his manners and is able to function in society.
This is when your dog is at liberty & provides your best mate with a much more enriching life, getting to explore the world rather than just the back yard!
Like all things it takes a commitment from the owner! But if your willing to do the work, we are more than willing to help!!!
***BUDDY*** We recently started working with this little legend after he his awesome parents adopted him from their local rescue. On the left you can see he was timid, afraid and lacked a lot of confidence. After starting him on a training plan, here he is two weeks in and you can already see how pleased he is with himself as his confidence has grown so much already. Huge credit to his new parents for not giving up on him and doing the work!!!
โ ๏ธ HARD TRUTH:
๐ฃ๏ธ "๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ด๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป."
Excellent read!
๐ฃ๏ธ "๐๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ'๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ด, ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ!"
๐ต If I had a dollar for every time I've heard somebody tell me this I'd be dressed like a Florida strip club owner, driving a Porsche 911 (high kms, poor overall condition) and I'd be able to afford that fancy d!ck extension surgery I saw on YouTube.
๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐: Assume that your dog has not a single, sollitary clue as to what he's done wrong.
๐ฉ It's very likely that when you walk in the house and see a steaming pile of dog turd on your new rug, it hits you right in the feels.
โ ๏ธ Your facial expressions change, your heart rate soars like you've just had a crack at Pablo Escobar's private stash, you clench your fists, and your eyeballs pop out of your head like they do in a Ren & Stimpy episode.
๐ฉ๏ธ Your dog comes around the corner to greet you and sees this, he reads the change in weather, and he knows there are storms ahead.
๐ง ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐๐ด?
๐คทโโ๏ธ ๐ก๐ข. He knows this picture ain't good, but he has no clue that the cable he laid 15min ago is the source of your current malcontent.

๐ You know, that look of sheepishness that says "I dunno what this is all about, but it ain't good - and I better display this behaviour because I don't want the thunder and lightning that's a-comin'"
๐ฅ๐จ๐๐: If you don't catch your dog in the act of doing something you're not cool with, or immediately after, then you need to proceed as though the dog has no fc***ng clue what's going down when you cook off at him.
โ ๏ธ So handle your internal scandal like a goddamm adult, don't take it out on the dog, and take full responsibliity for avoiding future occurrences by putting better management measures in place .

๐ญ I need yโall to do me a solid:
โ
โ๏ธ Stop expecting 3, 4, 5mo puppies to do extended โstaysโ;
โ
โ
Consider that learning specific skills is far, far less important than developing a strong desire in your pup to work with you - itโs all about desire, motivation, and engagement;
โ
โ๏ธ Avoid teaching your pup that any and all dogs it encounters are an opportunity for play;
โ
โ
Understand that pups are just like toddlers - they have short attention spans and are all about โwhatโs in it for themโ;
โ
โ๏ธ Know that just because your last dog did or didnโt do something, it has ZERO bearing on how your new pup should behave;
โ
โ
Remember that itโs completely typical for pups to bite, chew, bark, growl and jump on you;
โ
โ๏ธ Keep it clear in your mind that your old dog may help your pup learn some new routines (for better or worse) but she wonโt teach that pup how to โbehaveโ;
โ
โ
Invest significant effort in making sure your pup spends plenty of time completely alone;
โ
โ๏ธ Change your vet if they tell you to keep your dog inside until itโs had all itโs shots, and avoid purchasing from a breeder that suggests the same;
โ
โ
Get your puppy out of the house to experience the wider world without your older dog to develop itโs self reliance and independence;
โ
โ๏ธ Donโt give your pup all itโs food from a bowl - give it about 1/3 of its food in a bowl for free, and feed the remaining 2/3 as part of your training and development work;
โ
โ
First assume that if your pup isnโt paying attention to you in the way you wish, then he considers you boring AF and/or your expectations are unrealistic.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ก If you guys can remember this stuff youโll be much less likely to need my help later in life, and your dog has the best chance of developing to itโs full potential.
โ
๐ Please, and of course thank you.
