Dog Charming

Dog Charming Professional Dog Behaviour Consultant. Special interest in anxious/fearful dogs, separation anxiety, Visit www.dogcharming.com.au for all details.

Dog Charming provides one-on-one home behaviour advice and training. Referral to recommended puppy pre-school classes. Services provided include:
* Personalized in-home behaviour advice and training. All ages catered for (that's you and your dog!).
* Problem Behaviours - each dog is assessed as an individual.
* Advice to help choose the right dog for you and your family. This important step can

help prevent many problems later on which result from simply choosing an incompatible breed as a family companion.
* Tricks, fun and bonding tips - This is not only for your pleasure, it keeps your dog stimulated and enhances learning of other behaviors. The emphasis is on explaining dog language and how they learn, and then showing guardians how to teach their dog using humane, force-free, positive-reinforcement based techniques. In this way, the unfortunate side effects of punishment and the damage it causes to the human-dog bond are avoided. Techniques are based on the concepts of behavioural science and are suitable for all dogs (and across all species!) If you are interested in clicker training, this is one of our favourite ways to teach. The creativity it unleashes in your dog is amazing - just ask Zuri, the Rhodesian Ridgeback and co-owner of Dog Charming! Sonya Bevan is the other owner of Dog Charming and is also a registered physiotherapist and member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association. She has a Bachelor of Science and has completed further studies at the Companion Animal Sciences Institute (James O'Heare) to gain a diploma in Canine Behaviour Science and Technology. But this is not the end of her studies as she is committed to continuing education to provide a service that reflects reliable and ethical information. She is a member of:

Association of Animal Behaviour Professionals
The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (Australia)
Pet Professional Guild
Australian Physiotherapy Association

Please do not hesitate to contact Sonya with any queries you may have. Zuri leaves most of the talking to Sonya!

Willow was staring at me intently for minutes. The reason remains known only to herself. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Willow and I went for a ride and stopped on the foreshore to watch people exercise. She was eager to do some training. I started back chaining the skill of jumping into the bike box and then pulling the door closed.

This is what a dog trainer does while sitting on the foreshore watching Jungle Body with their dog. Freshening up the "tug" cue: pull the bike door closed.

Learning dog, cat and bird body language will give you the skill to recognize when a "cute" video is actually not so cute.

We see them everywhere: videos of pets looking cute on social media. But are these videos really so cute—or are risks for the animals hiding in plain sight?

It’s been 12 years since I had a contest, and I’ve learned a little since then. Back in 2013, I challenged people to match a ridiculous number of photos to descriptions of the situation by observing my dog Summer’s facial expressions. Some truly good sports gave it a try. Let’s see if I can ...
