No you can’t just put a halti on a dog and achieve this!
First you need to teach them the process of lead feedback
once that’s achieved you can appropriately introduce a halti
then you need to teach them to feel comfortable in the halti
once they’re 100% comfortable in the halti, only then can you apply appropriate feedback from the halti.
Many people will buy a halti & just put it on their dog and wonder why they are pawing at it & trying to rub their face on the ground.
It’s a process. Every dog is different, some may only need to use the halti system for a few weeks others a few months, again it’s a process.
If the halti is introduced properly they will be as comfortable in that as they are in a harness or collar.

Unethical standard of care in pound facilities.
Can everyone please send an enquiry to the mayor and to each councillor on this list requesting that the standard of care at Stirling “animal care facility” be addressed.
It takes less than a minute to fill out the form. It asks for location of enquiry just type animal care facility and you will see the address come up.
List concern as unethical care at the Stirling animal care facility.
You can also send them an email. Each one has an email address provided.
I would encourage everyone to do the same for their local mayor because the standard of care in all of the pounds is beyond sub standard!
The City of Stirling’s council comprises 14 elected members, with two councillors representing each of our seven wards. Council are responsible for making decisions on behalf of the community.

No one seems to think about or care about the adult dogs used & abused in puppy farms. This is how they end up after years of being locked in cages forced to have litter after litter, then when they can’t breed anymore they are usually dumped or sold! Ruby is one of the most terrified angels I’ve ever met. She’s been safe for 6 moths with the most amazing people, but she still will not move. She will race to go to the toilet then straight back into the crate. I had to apologise to my client because I couldn’t stop myself from crying intermittently during the 2 hours I was with them.
Try calling “the authorities” to advise them about a puppy farm, speak to a ranger & you’ll be told the stop puppy farming legislation is still not enforceable so there’s nothing they can do. 😡😡
Try calling the RSPCA, good luck with that!!
If you do not know EXACTLY where & how a puppy was bred DO NOT PURCHASE A PUPPY! Because this is what you are participating in. There is no authority that protects them, there is no legislation that protects them.

If you take your dogs to a park and they have sprinklers contact the groundskeeper and ask if they use soil wetter.
I Was at Abbett park this morning in Scarborough and about 6 dogs were drinking from the puddles & laying in them.
Grounds keeper came and advised people that they put soil wetter in the sprinkler water so don’t let your dogs drink it. 😳😡
How about a sign telling people the water contains toxic chemicals.
Can our species do anything without using filthy toxic chemicals 😡

To address the Pound problem, We need to lobby the state government to allocate funding to have the Stirling pound upgraded.
I am trying to create an online petition and will need thousands and thousands of signatures on the petition so that it can be presented through the appropriate channels.
I will post the petition as soon as I can.
I need EVERYONE to get every dog lover they know to sign it.
Let’s see if we can get “the system” to work for us.
The rangers are incredibly understaffed and are doing the best they can with what they are provided with.
The problem is the facility not the rangers.
So please everyone that cares we need to lobby state government to allocate funding so we can get the facility upgraded and improve the situation for the dogs.
Anyone with any contacts or skills that can help please contact me on 0428 321 978

My love, respect and passion for all living things and this amazing planet, is the greatest gift my parents have given me. From the day I was born, I was taught that every living creature has the right to live free of harm and neglect, and all things on this earth are interconnected and must be protected. I was taught that as human beings it is our responsibility to protect, defend, shield and shelter all of mother natures amazing creations. I was taught that we as human beings need to speak for those that have no voice, we as human beings must use our abilities to conserve nature not destroy it.
I have two big brothers so I had to keep up with them, so I skipped the whole crawling thing and started walking at nine months of age. From the first step I took, I dodged the ants refusing to harm a single one. I guess there a certain things our Mums pass onto us whilst we are in the womb. No one told me I shouldn't step on the ants, I was only nine months old, walking seemed a pretty good achievement in itself, but I just knew I did not want to harm the ants. As I grew Mum would take me into the garden and put a tiny spider gently on my hand. Mum taught me not to fear things but to understand them and to always protect them.
I was an incredibly shy child and was more comfortable when I was alone than when I was with people. I never felt that I belonged when i was in company with people. Whilst other children played together, I would sit in trees for hours and hours just watching the world, the birds, the clouds, lizards, the bees, ants and spiders. The world was full of life and I was fascinated by all of it. When I was 11 years old my family left the suburbs and moved to a 10 acre property. I became even more isolated from people, this was not at all a problem for me, I could not of been happier. I was surrounded by nature and this was when I really began to understand what I now believe to be my reason.
From the moment I learnt to speak and to write I would ask Santa every Christmas for a Puppy, my birthday I would ask my parents, I'd even ask the Easter Bunny at Easter. My Parents both worked long hours and they wanted to wait until everything was perfect to bring a puppy into our family. We had Tinky our cat from before I was born and grey cat a stray cat I had befriended and adopted. I bought every injured creature I ever found home to be nursed back to health and released.
I have over 12 years experience in canine behavioural management and have qualifications in both animal behaviour and canine psychology and training and I am a registered member of the Association Pet Dog Trainers (APDT Australia INC).
My ethos is simple, I will teach you how your dog thinks and why they do the things that they do, so that you are then equipped to manage their behaviour. A lot of behaviourists will offer a quick fix to problem behaviours, in some cases this may very well be the case but in reality behavioural correction is a process.
My aim when taking on a new client is to teach them the skills and educate them on why their dog is behaving in a manner that has become a problem. I show people how dogs learn then teach them many different ways to teach their individual dog, because just like people not all dogs learn in the same way. I'm sure that there are millions of people that never reach their full potential in life, simply because their learning environment was not conducive to their "way of learning". Having the knowledge and skill to teach your dog all the things that they need to learn so that they can live happily and safely in a world designed for humans should be your aim. Because learning is a process! The reality is that you're the one that will need to teach your dog. You're with them every day, and every moment you have with them is an opportunity to teach them the things you would like them to understand. There are certain things that I will teach doggies during a class or consultation that they will retain very easily, particularly puppies, however every single behaviour that your puppy or adult dog learns, must be constantly repeated successfully in order for that to become a consistant and dependable behaviour.
If you are prepared to learn the skills that are required and provide the appropriate environment with patience, kindness, respect and persistence, I personally do not believe that there is any behavioural issue that can not be corrected or in the very least managed, so that each angel can have the safest and happiest life possible.
Dogs are my world and I love what I do, so if you are having any behavioural related issues with your dog please call me and we can work together to find the solution so you can enjoy the most beautiful friendship a person can have. Animals and the environment have always been my greatest passion in life. I have spent a lot of time overseas working on conservational projects that protect the Orangutan and Mountain Gorilla and their habitats and I continue to do so whenever possible. I have always had a unique connection with dogs and understood how they work. It was when I was in Kisoro Uganda being followed by several dogs in a place where people have no respect for dogs and absolutely no understanding of their beautiful ability to be truly selfless, loyal and the best friend a person can have, that I realised what I wanted to do in life. I was in a place surrounded by poverty where children have nothing and are scared of dogs. I made a decision to try an educate people about these beautiful animals and the friendship and love they offer. I began teaching people in Africa the most basic concepts of k9 and human friendship, watching people go from fearing dogs to respecting, loving them and developing a friendship like no other, was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! So I decided that is what I wanted to do with my life! Best decision I've ever made, every angel I meet I consider a dear friend, and will do what ever it takes to help them and their family, I'd do what I do for free if I didn't have a mortgage. I feel so very lucky that I am able to do what I love most in this world, and what I am most passionate about, every single day.
