Lone Star Animal Behaviour

23/06/2024

If you’d like to hear our origin story and some rambling, I had a chance to have a chat with my good friends at The Canine Paradigm last week.

We were thrilled to welcome Caisey Cainan, a friend of the show and one of the world’s most renowned big cat trainers. Caisey’s journey into the fascinating world of big cats began in his childhood when he ran away to join a circus. It was there that he met his first mentor, a pivotal figure in his life who tragically lost his life to a tiger. This harrowing incident deeply impacted Caisey and set him on the path to becoming a big cat trainer, driven by a desire to honor his mentor’s legacy and improve safety and training standards in the field.

Caisey shared captivating stories from his time in the circus, providing a rare glimpse into the unique challenges and rewards of training big cats. Moreover, his passion for these majestic animals was evident as he discussed the intricacies of building trust and communication with them.

Transitioning from big cats, Caisey has now dedicated his expertise to professional and sporting dog training in Australia. He spoke about how the skills and lessons learned from big cat training have seamlessly translated into his work with dogs, bringing a unique perspective and approach to the field. Therefore, join us for an inspiring episode as Caisey Cainan shares his incredible journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Working on some leash reactivity with Taika. We try to keep excitement levels pretty low when we are working on reactivity. Just at the edge of thresholds. Rinse and repeat while moving the threshold

We don’t just train pet dogs! This weekend five dogs from our club are showing at the Iron Fist PSA trial in Sydney. We have dogs testing for PDC, Level 1, and Level 2. If you were ever curious of what exactly PSA is and what is being tested in the levels, this video is a great explanation from the OG of the sport. We have really worked hard for the last couple years to get PSA going here in Australia, and I think we’ve seen that to fruition. There are now 5 registered clubs and multiple trials a year with international and local judges and decoys. If PSA interests you, come watch a trial, join a club, do cool s**t with your dog! Lone Star is proud to be a sponsor of the 2024 Iron Fist PSA trial, and we hope you all can make it!

PSA is the fastest growing protection sport in the world! Let the Executive Director Jerry Bradshaw explain what it is and how you can get involved. 🙏 Thank...

Meet Bluey! Bluey is a very anxious border collie in need of some life skills and confidence. He needs to learn he can get it right and how. He’s doing great so far.

Bear and Penny learning to go do fun things together. One of the best ways to get dogs to see value in other dogs is having them do things they both enjoy together.
