Using muzzles allows us to help a dog to grow out in the public, limiting risk.
At some point you need to put into practice what you have learned with your trainer in as contolled a manner as possible. This is about introducing your dog gradually to their triggers. All these are done with myself

Kaos's story is typical of dogs spending long lengths of stay in a kennel environment. He was struggling mentally to keep it together, as do lots of animals in kennels. Reactivity on lead was a big one, not being able to regulate his play, grabbing at arms when frustrated, which is scary for the volunteer. Flick and Mark answered one of the many requests for a foster carer and the rest is history. They have dedicated the last 6 months into allowing him to decompress, managing him when needed and put the time into weekly private training sessions. This is the outcome so far. We are all, very happy ❤

All of the dogs shown in my groups are rescue dogs. Some can be reactive depending on the other dogs reaction. Kaos has frustration on lead which is common with lots of dogs. Owners are learning weekly how to handle them and are invested to help their dogs to lead the best life they can. Investing time to read body language is crucial to their growth and doesn't happen over night. Your rescue dog is an investment and must be given the time, respect and patience to be helped to rehabilitate into your family and their new environment. Respecting your fellow members of the public and other doggie friends is the responsible thing to do. Please give them some patience. ❤

A beautiful Easter Saturday for a group walk at Jarrahdale railway. All of these dogs have reactivity which will never completely go away. Owners have learnt how to manage and train it on a daily basis. Introducing their dogs to new dogs/people and bikes.
I can give you the skills on how to do this using positive reinforcement. Enquire at [email protected].
New website coming soon!

My easy group.
Now playing off lead. Meeting other dogs at parks at a quiet time.
Introducing gradually. Dogs and their humans learning polite meets and greets.
Education for the owners is the key to success.

Welcoming little Peaches (cavoodle) to an easy dog group walk. This little girl has been struggling with many things in and outside of the home since a pup. Peaches is now 1 year old. After finding Wolfies she is growing in confidence in leaps and bounds and has now joined a group. Mozzie and Poppy helped to show her the outside world isn't that scary.

Doggie doors can be scary. We had already done a few steps prior to this video. Some dogs need to habituate to using doors gradually starting by holding the flap up completely with no pressure on their heads, backs etc gradually putting the door down. It depends on the confidence of your dog. You need to go at their pace. Poppy was more scared so needed treats. Riva was motivated enough to follow her friend through. This needs to be done multiple times and lower the door a little step by step until your dog can push the door itself

Group walks for reactive dogs.
What is your dogs critical distance?
This is so important to know when you are training.
Have you lost confidence walking your dog because they bark and lunge on lead? Come join us. Enquire at [email protected]

Lovely Lois and Nina are very similar dogs and are reactive. These guys can settle quickly once they have been introduced correctly as you can see.They are learning how to settle at the end of the walk. Enquire about a group walk.

Group walks are back!
This first group was for dogs who are social, whose owners need to build confidence and learn body language, also for dogs needing to learn how to be polite. The second group is for 'A social dogs' who need to do a little training before walking this close. Groups for harder dogs will be starting soon. Enquires at [email protected]

Dogs need to be enriched on a daily basis. Working breeds need all 6 enrichements. Below are a few ideas of each. Depending on your dog is how many of the above they need. Please do your pup a service and learn to understand their body language. Dogs end up in shelters through lack of knowledge and understanding.
This will strengthen the bond between you and them and make life easier for both parties.
Go to the aspca website for loads of free info.
Enjoy!
Fabulous body language, and appropriate dog interactions. Jane at the end is a fearful dog and pre-empts what could happen.
Carlos was a perfect dog to choose to Give her a good experience to help to build confidence as he was reading her and acting appropriately the whole time. For you lovely doggie owners out there, please do your dogs justice and invest time in learning dog body language so you are able to intervene when needed to keep all interactions as good as you can. This also builds trust between you and your best friend.
Please share!
Cash is in my rehabilitation program. Here you.can see the changes for yourself. From very reactive, lunging forward, stiff body posture high flagging tail to relaxed body posture, smiling and interacting. Seen here generalising with 3 different dogs. Although the first dog Louis was big he was a marsh mellow so Cash shouldn't have felt threatened. Beautiful boy!
From dog aggressive to walking with other dogs. Adding dogs to the group for them to generalise.
Next step is off lead. Baskin has been a work in progress for along time with his owner and has had many great experiences. Dale is learning in his older years. You can teach an old dog new tricks with connsistency and correct timing. This can be fast tracked with myself handling or go at your own pace.
Group packages starting soon.

Louis the Bull Arab is soooo appropriate with all dogs he has been tested with. From dog play to calming dogs down who are aggressive towards him and extremely inappropriate. Look at his body language. He is displacing when needed, increasing distance, look aways and disabling himself. He had great off lead play with little Rusty the Jack russel and let him jump all over him. Anyone who adopts him will be one lucky family. He is K9 Dog Rescue Groups dog of the week. Please share. What a beautiful boy! What an absolute darling.... ❤
Tiny and Bomber having a lovely play at K9 dog rescue group in Mandurah. Bomber (black) is choosey with dog friends however learns quickly. Both of these dogs are available for adoption. Please share with friends. We are making some great progress training volunteers and community in rehabilitation.
Part 3.
Nice interactions with Gypsy and Peanut.
Gypsy and Toby. Was Gypsy comfortable?
Gypsy told Toby off over food and he did listen.
Toby and Liam who was constantly moving away. Was he comfortable?
Nice little run off at the end with the 3 who were happy together.
Behaviour can be quite complex and videoing really allows us to pull it apart and see clearer. Helping owners to be able to do this and stop their dogs reacting is really important to allow the dogs to grow and move forward with more positives than negatives.
This takes time and patience
More footage to come.
