1 year old female cattle dog looking for a home

This baby's elderly owners unfortunately found themselves dealing with sudden health issues, so Stella has to go to a new home. She is in my care at the moment in St Albans NSW. She will be an amazing companion to someone who is willing to put effort into her care and training

❤️ She is VERY friendly
🐶 Gets along with other dogs
🐔 In training to ignore poultry and cats; at the moment she is mildly interested but she doesn't have m*rder on her mind
🧒 Loves kids
🧔‍♂️ Loves men
👧 Loves women
🐑 Could be trained on livestock
💨 Amazing recall
💤 Crate trained

While she is amazing in every aspect at the end of the day she is still a cattle dog that needs a LOT of exercise and mental stimulation.

The person we are looking for her must be:

💪Fit and active
🐕 An experienced dog owner who knows the breed well
🧏‍♀️ Willing to keep up with her training
🚗 Willing to take her out on adventures often and doesn't just plan to keep her in a backyard

🩺 She just got desexed and microchipped today and she will be ready to go to her new home in a couple of weeks.

We are asking💲3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ for her which is only a small portion of her desexing, microchipping, tick and flea protection, vaccinations, and the other expenses we have paid since she is in our care. Before adoption a playdate will be required.

💖 If you are interested in giving Stella a forever home message us

Poly's a little adventurer with an obvious case of FOMO!  This adorable staffy-basenji cross loves joining her family on all their adventures, so being left alone can be tough.  We had a blast working on making her new dog run a fun and safe space, and her quirky personality shone through during our training session. What a joy! 🐶

Meet Willow!

Isn't she the cutest? Being a Malinois x Kelpie mix, Willow is full of energy and a bit of a mischievous streak! 😅 We've spent a wonderful hour together, playing lots of fun recall games and teaching her a marker word. 😌

Since she's still a young pup, so for now her training focuses on playful learning and building her confidence in a relaxed environment. She absolutely loves her food, but I've noticed she's extra motivated by toys! ⚾️ Our primary goal is to teach her a rock-solid recall, but we'll also prioritize socialization and leash training.
Willow is lucky to have dedicated and hardworking owners – she's well on her way to becoming a happy, confident, obedient, and sociable dog! 😎

Stay tuned to see how she grows! 😊❤️

For us, this time of the year is about new beginnings, letting go of old habits, making new resolutions and being hopeful about the future ✨️

For dogs, on the other hand, it's either a day just like any other, or, if they are on the anxious side, it's a day of fear and terror. 😪

How can you help your anxious dog tonight? 🐶

💥 First of all, if your dog is afraid of loud noises and fireworks, do not leave them unattended tonight. An open backyard is the worst possible place for them to be. If you spend new years eve at home and you have an outside dog, please make an exception tonight and bring them to the house. You might think, your house or your fence is secure enough to keep your dog contained on any day of the year - but animals that fear for their lives will get through high fences, windows or closed doors without thinking about it. I experienced this first hand.

💥 Consider using calming medication. If you don't have any prescription drugs or calming treats on hand, a little bit of chamomile tea will do. You can look up online what dosage would work best for your pup's weight. Soak their kibble in it or add it to their wet food to get them to ingest it!

💥 Go on YouTube or Spotify and find a playlist of relaxing puppy music. Don't play it so loud that it becomes offensive, but loud enough so it blocks some of the outside noise out.

💥 If you spend NYE at home with your dog, make sure their nervous energy doesn't affect your behaviour. Assert calm, relaxed and confident energy. Feel free to pat and cuddle your dog to support them, but do not baby them and do not act like anything is wrong or out of your control! You are the number one person your dog is looking for guidence, so if you act nervous or out of order, it may tells your dog that their is indeed a reason to panic.

💥 Distract your dog! Play food games rather than using toys. Get them searching for hidden treats, get them to chase after thrown food, or provide them with a lickimat or a kong. Consuming food almost always brings excitement and nervous energy down, while playing with toys, like throwing the ball or playing tug might does the exact opposite.

We are almost late to the Christmas party 🎄

We wish all our beautiful clients a peaceful holiday period with all the treats they deserve 🎁

Hajni turned 12 today. ❤️

🌼 I'm so lucky I got another year with you. You are the sweetest, the most optimistic, the strongest and the toughest little cookie I ever got to meet. Always seeing the bright side in everything and never complaining. The things you went through changed my life and my view on everything. You truly are a Christmas miracle ✨️🎄
When you lost the ability to walk or to go to the toilet by yourself I was petrified. After a few days I was exhausted, confused, I wasn't sure if I'll be able to do this with you, for you.
Now I cherish every day we get to spend together and I pray I get to do this routine of taking care of you for many more years. ❤️🌼

💥 Please meet Bella and Rosie! 💥

You may have seen Bella on this page before 😍 She is a rescue dog who went through extensive rehab before she was adopted by her dad, Chris () from South Coast NSW 😌They were one of the first ones to participate in the testing process of our calming jerky 🌼 Chris sent me this lovely review a couple of days ago:

'I have been using these amazing treats for a few weeks now, my two girls Bella and Rosie absolutely love them and not to mention they are a lot calmer and relaxed which is lovely. I’ve tried a couple of different flavours and they are all a huge hit they are very affordable and my dogs love them. Two very happy puppies and happy owner! Thanks guys, keep up the good work :)'

✨️ It's been 5 days since our calming treats launched, so we've got our first reviews 🤩 In this series, we'll be introducing some of the new generation of our Polite Pups! You'll get to know them, their lifestyle, and what their owners had to say about our calming jerky. ✨️

The first pup we're introducing is Mo 🐶 He is a 7-year-old, undesexed male Kelpie. He's a working dog as well as a companion. 😌 He accompanies his owner, Dennis, on all his daytime adventures; Mo is either helping with farm jobs 👨‍🌾 or he is providing cuddles and entertainment to the patrons of a country pub where Dennis is working 🥰. After the sun goes down, Mo is in charge of guarding the property👮‍♂️

📢 This is what Dennis said after experimenting with our calming treats for a few days:

"Mo really likes these treats, and he definitely seems a lot calmer. However, I've noticed he's been a bit less alert at night. I might have to stop feeding him these treats in the afternoon, I need him to guard the property instead of through the night!"

✨️ To try our calming treats, head over to our website and search for the 'Shop' button 😁 please don't hesitate to share your experience in comments or private messages! 🤗

✨️ THE TIME HAS COME! ✨️

I'm so proud and excited to announce the arrival of my calming treats! 🥳 Yes, they're here, and yes, they're available for everyone through my webshop! 🎉

🐶 As I've worked with many anxious dogs over the years, and boarded most of them in my home, the use of calming treats became a daily routine. 😴

However, many of them being sensitive to certain ingredients, I struggled to find a single-protein, minimally processed treat on the market that would suit all my clients 🙄

This got me thinking: could I possibly manufacture a treat myself that has just a few ingredients, but is still effective and has an irresistible flavor as well? 🤔 The flavor seemed to be one of the most important criteria, as many nervous dogs require a high-value treat 🤤 —something they would take even in stressful situations 😌. And here came the idea! Almost all dogs I've ever worked with loved natural, air-dried meats. So I just needed a formula for a magic marinade! 🫡
Being a dog trainer and not knowing much about nutrition, I contacted a pet nutritionist from Sydney Animal Nutrition, and we began working together. 🤝 She helped me engineer the perfect formula: a combination of calming ingredients that are effective but absolutely harmless to pets 🐕🐱. I tried the treats on many dogs of different ages and sizes, and was very pleased to see that they were indeed effective 👏 I loved the product so much that I decided to share them with all of you! 🤗

Months of work followed, and they're finally here. A calming, single-protein jerky that's loved by even the pickiest, most nervous pups! 🥰🤩

I truly hope your pets will enjoy them just as much as mine. 😉

Thank you for your support! This product couldn't ever have become a reality without you and your nervous pups.🐩
