๐๐ Top 2 Life Skills All Dogs Should Master ๐๐
1๏ธโฃOf course number 1 is loose leash walking! You will be amazed how many issues this can prevent or help overcome! โ
๏ธYour dog can't be reactive and loose leash walking at the same time!
โ
๏ธThey can't be jumping on people and loose leash walking at the same time!
2๏ธโฃNumber 2, the place command!! This is the most versatile and useful behaviour you can teach your dog ๐ถ
It helps with impulse control, in home manners, calming, and so so much more!!
โ๏ธDoes your dog carry on like a pork chop when you have visitors over? Teach them PLACE!
โ๏ธDoes your dog steal food while you cooking? PLACE!

I could go on and on, but I think you get the point!

Remember Steel? The bitey GSD that I've been working with?
๐ Well, today marks 14 weeks since he came into my care ๐ซจ
This dog would only sit or down when bribed with food and had no concept of stay, or anything else really!!
๐ช But, here he is today showing that with the right training any dog can be trained!
Off leash down stay at a truck stop with people watching and doing their thing...
#balanceddogtraining works, simple as that and โฌ๏ธ is your proof!
๐๐คฃ Training the next generation of dog trainers... all begins with the basics ๐ฉ๐ฉ

๐ฅฐ Are you looking for a way to keep your doggo entertained?
โ๏ธDoes your doggo get anxious about you leaving or needs some help to chill out?
โ๏ธNeed help distracting your Pooch during grooming?
โ๏ธWant to provide mental stimulation and use their food as a rewarding treat?
๐ถ๐ถ If so, LickiMat is what you want!!
Create tasty treats by spreading on soft foods, like yoghurt and make a treat that lasts many minutes. Licking releases endorphins so relaxes anxious animals.
Best thing about the LickiMat range is they are super affordable!
The new UFO can be stuck to any flat surface making it even more versatile! As you can see Bugaboo loves her peanut treat in her new UFO stuck to the door!
โขโข If you use peanut butter please ensure that it is 100% peanuts with no nasty additives!!
To learn more about the range of LickiMats that we sell, comment or send us a message!
๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Yes, I allow my dogs to:
โ
๏ธ be on the furniture
โ
๏ธ sleep in the bed with me
โ
๏ธ play inside
โ
๏ธ do crazy zoomies in the lounge room
โ
๏ธ be dogs!
Why? Because unless it is a problem, it isn't problem!
๐ค What do I mean by that?
Well, let's use my Slobber Chops girl as an example. Slobs is an 8 year old American Bulldog who has aggression issues, and while she has come a long long way, at times she forgets her manners...
Normally, Slobs is allowed all of the above privileges, however, when she does forgot her manners she goes straight onto a manners reminder program!
This means she loses the above privileges and has to earn them back. This is achieved by her showing me that she now remembers how she is meant to act, which includes:
โ๏ธ not growling at the other dogs in my pack over resources
โ๏ธ not growling at the humans in the house over resources
โ๏ธ getting off the furniture when asked without issues
And basically showing respect towards the humans and dogs in the home!
My dogs are pretty spoilt, but with that privilege comes responsibility, which is usually something most owners don't expect of their dogs and in turn usually leads to a dog acting like a spoilt child!
Dogs need rules, boundaries and structure, just like human children! We don't need to be their alpha pack dominant leader, we need to be their guardians and guide them with love and respect just as we do with children!
๐ถ Lasting success is not gained through temporary large leaps... TRUE lasting success IS gained through small permanent steps! โจ๏ธ
While to some that small clip of two owners walking their two dogs may seem unimportant or unimpressive, the truth is, the story behind this small clip is one of true dedication, commitment and love on the owners behalf!
๐Meet the Red Sisters: Nala & Luna - This is Nala's Story... so far.๐
๐๏ธ In May I received a call from an understandably stressed and emotional owner who's dog had given a family member a nasty bite to the face... a behaviour that was completely out of character for their much loved 2 year old Red Cattle x Nala.
The initial assessment earned Nala the nickname Knock-out Nala, yep she gave me a pretty good muzzle punch to the face! ๐
But, the dog I saw in front of me, I knew was not an aggressive dog, nor was it the usual "I want to rip your head off" type of dog that I had dealt with many times before... something was just not right, something just did not add up!! ๐ค
The sad truth is, a lot of people in the industry might just have taken the actions of this dog on face value and might not have dug a lot deeper, a mistake that could have been catastrophe for this family!
๐ You see, the only significant change in this dog's life was a new medication for her allergies. A medication that, concerningly, is becoming the go-to as a first option for allergies, Apoquel.
I had heard of this drug in the past, I had already done research on it for a different reason, but remembered that I had read that aggression was a potential side effect of this drug. I'm no vet and therefore I can't make recommendations in these regards.
However, after leaving that initial session, something kept telling me to dig deeper into the research and ask people with the proper qualifications for advice.
โผ๏ธ My job does not end the moment I leave the client!! It is my duty of care to work out what could be causing this
๐ถ๐ถ My new friend Bailey is like most covid doggies, afraid of the world, lacking leash manners, lack of experiencing the world and separation anxiety. .. however, when your covid doggie is only 11 months and this size, things are a bit harder to get on top of! Luckily for Bailey his awesome owner knew he needed a helping paw!
Today was a HUGE day for Bailey as it was the first time he was out of his home, alone without his mum! But, it was also a HUGE SUCCESS for this big love ball!
Fun and games is what training should be about and today Bailey learnt the world isn't as scary as he thought!
Still a way to go with this boy, so watch this space! ๐ถ
