The moment we lost it! We had a brilliant showing passing all scenarios with high distinction until we got to the surprise scenario and a running decoy was just too tempting for him. It was fun and we can try tomorrow again.

Obedience passed!!! 81/100. We are through to protection. Such a great feeling to get through and now a bigger job to do.

These two are very cute. 9 years between them and the bond is growing. They’re always found napping together.

Focusing a lot on front feet strength and positioning for sharper movements into behaviours. Hondo has very pretty feet 🥰🐶

When you rally the troops to go to the beach to get some cool photos and videos on such a nice day….and leave you’re phone in the car, post beach snaps will have to do. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This past weekend I attended the incredible seminar held by Michael Ellis . The knowledge he shared I can’t wait to add it into my training my personal and client dogs.

and my friend’s Mali pup Witcher both got to play and demo for concepts. My brain is tired while I’m also excited.

Not every dog is going to make the cut. Some are just too lovely 🥰

Great diagram for the “Stages of Training” by PAWSability Center. Comment below with any questions you may have.

We are soooo excited to officially share our handout on the Stages of Training. Thank you Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin for bringing this to life! This handout is used for clients to follow their dog's training progress!
It goes through all the stages of learning:
1. Acquisition (get the behavior)
2. Fluency (add the cue)
3. Generalization (proof the behavior)
4. Maintenance (maintain the behavior)

Edit to clarify:
1. This is FREE for you to use/make copies of for clients, but not the edit.
2. “As taught by Jean Donaldson” refers to Push, Stick, Drop

Thanks for all the support! 🐾💙🐾

I’ve been pretty quiet on the socials this past year and I’ve a very good reason…or 2 🐾🐾. I paws’d my dog training business to concentrate on raising our two new furry family members. An increase from one dog to 3 🐶🐶🐶 is definitely fun but a very busy change and as we all know raising puppies to be great dogs is a full time gig. So I stopped training other dogs to train my own. I’m now slowly accepting new clients again.

In my following posts I’ll be introducing you to my full pack and then tell you about our training journey, the ups and downs.

Please welcome Higgins the Bernese Mountain Dog (5 months) and Hondo the Belgian Malinois (10 months). Murphy my German Shepherd (9.5 years) is still the top dog 😎.

28/03/2023

Welcome Mr. Higgins the to the Pawesome family. He is the fluffiest pooch in the house.

and are delighted. I’m tired but this is going to be a fun trio to have around.

17/02/2023

Happy Friday everyone!! Keep you and those doggos cool this hot Sydney weekend.

Did you get it right? 🍲 🐕 🐶

Feeding a fresh healthy diet is key for happy healthy dogs. Slow feeders are great for dogs who love their food.

Can you guess who’s in who’s? One for and one for .

Rainy day photo shoot in with and

is staying on the long line these days as he has decided chasing anything that moves (walkers, runners, bikes, cars, dogs) is a great game. But it’s not allowed, so in training we are focusing on channeling that drive into other more favourable things.

At the moment he is teething so we can’t play a good game of tug so food games is where it’s at for the moment.

Thinking to myself I’ve got some time…I should clean the glass door… - “mmmm tasty 👅 “

Happy New Year from and . We’re ready for 2023! Are you? It will be a year full of fun training and destruction 😂

Scenario 3: Test of Courage under Distraction In this scenario the decoy will be downfield, insight of the handler and dog. The handler and dog stay stationary and on command from the judge the decoy will get the attention of the dog by speaking in a threatening manner. The handler can send the dog immediately once the threat is noticed. The decoy will run straight at the dog, throwing the distraction (a small backpack) across the path of the dog but never hitting the dog. Once the dog bites, the decoy will drive and give 3 stick hits (the stick is made from bamboo so sounds loud but the dogs barely notice anything, it is never meant to hurt the dog). Once the judge says freeze up the decoy will stand still. The handler will recall the dog on the Stewards command in a heel position. Hondo loves this one the most. He is a fast dog and seeing a decoy inviting him in is like Christmas to him. He performs the exercise really well. I use a whistle here to tell him to Out and Return to me in a heel. He outs perfectly and speed back to me is nice but then he is hoping he can go back to the decoy so I need to add in another command to get him into heel. Another point lost but not a fail. Good work #hondothemali !

Scenario 2 was Handler Attack from Hiding Here we heel towards a blind where the decoy is hiding. The judge will put their arm in the air to signal the decoy to begin. The decoy will run straight towards the handler and the dog and the dog may attack as soon as they hear the decoy. While the dog is biting the decoy performs a “drive” and then will be told to freeze up. The handler commands the dog to “out and guard” and then the handler will go pick up the dog and heel away. Hondo and I performed this almost perfectly. On the Out Hondo went to come back to me and then he realised I didn’t say that so danced around for a moment until I gave him a conmand to help him out. Which docked us points but had he attacked the decoy again we would have failed instantly. Better to loose a point for an extra command than to fail from doing nothing. Isn’t that right @patstuart_ . Pat is our club “Captain” I shall call him. He runs the club, loves our dogs as much as we do, and he is the most knowledgeable in the sport in Australia. Myself and Hondo are extremely lucky to have his time and dedication to help us through this sport….and life 😅

On the 8th of June earlier this year #hondothemali and I competed in our first PSA1 trial held by our club @ironfistpsa Hondo only turned 2 in August so for a young dog he did exceptionally well but over all we didn’t pass. I’ve also only been doing this sport since I got him so it’s been new for me too. In October this year we are going to give it another shot at the @bigshowpsa trial. So we are currently training hard in prep for that. There are two parts when trialing, first up is the obedience and you need to pass that section before you move into protection. PSA has 3 levels to it and you need to pass each level twice to earn the titles. So it’s a big commitment and it’s a massive deal if you have a titled PSA3 dog. As you move up in levels the rules get less and less scripted. PSA1 obedience is fully laid out for you. PSA1 protection has 3 known scenarios and 1 surprise scenario (picked from a list of 5) which you find out on the day of the trial. In our first trial we scored the highest in obedience, scored 3 out of the 4 protection scenarios with the high distinction but the surprise scenario got us in the end. As you watch the videos you can see the connection between myself and Hondo loosen as his little brain just wanted to go have fun chasing the decoys. 🤣 This first video is the Car Jacking scenario. You enter the car on the driver side, the decoy is sitting in a chair. I’ve given my “car jacking” command as I enter the vehicle so he knows what to do. The decoy approaches talking smack 🤣, the dog is to bark with forward intensity and once the decoy attacks the dog can bite. The judge will then ask the decoy to freeze up and ask the handler to “Out your dog” to which I do and then the dog should start barking once again until I say we are done. All performed really well by Hondo 👏

Place Training for Ziggy. Young dogs need to learn how to be bored and that they can’t be entertained or part of the action all the time. This is a good exercise to do. So while I set up a crate for Ziggy he worked on his Place. He did really well. #GSP #dogtraining #placetraining #separationanxiety

I think someone is tired 😴 💤🤣🤣 #puppysnoring #alltrainedout #pawesomesydney #gsp #puppy

We call this game “dig the ball”. Murphy has always done this. No idea why. He just enjoys it and we find it funny. #dogsaregreat

As one dog leaves another arrives for the weekend. Murphy is going to be exhausted come Monday 😂 Tasman is 8 months old Cattle Dog and he is a lot of fun. #pawesomedogtraining #puppyplay #oldmanmurphy

I recently bought a blaster/dryer to handle all the fur from Murphy. Also came in handy for Caramel as he sheds a lot more!! It also was a lot of fun to use! #germanshedders #gsd #allthefurbegone
