A long story but very clear about consistency.

Children using dogs as playtime is also not acceptable. The dog is tolerating behaviour until one day it doesn’t. Most of the time you will get a submissive response from your dog this is not them enjoying it. Please advocate for your dog and keep your children safe. It only takes a split second and your world will change!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Mary and her duo, Montey and Hayley. When I first met them we needed help with walking nicely in lead and reactivity to dogs in a busy neighbourhood.

Mary is doing such a fabulous job and I cannot believe how much progress she has made in just a few short weeks! We are going to tackle the infamous Esplanade next week to test out our fancy new skills.

Private one on one training with flexible booking times and days to suit almost everyone.

Rosie just started learning how to be relaxed in her crate and her release cue.

A crate is a safe place for your dog during a stressful event like a cyclone, vet visit, house party or even just everyday life.

This is just one of the skill I can help you with. 🐾

What does dinner time look like at your house?
Do you have calm, obedient dogs?
Do they wait for permission?
Or
Do they resource guard or steal the other dogs food?

Cleo and Luna are experts. Baxter the yellow lab is a visitor but his mum has done my program and it shows! Little Miss Charm is now 19 weeks old and really starting to get the hang of it ❤️

Met this beautiful big baby yesterday yesterday Sam. His owner is raising a gentle sweet giant, but getting through the teenage stage makes it impossible to take him out in public.

With his sheer size, he needs a plan to help him with his impulse control and keep his attention where it belongs. Taking the first step to realise you need help, is a step in the right direction.

I just love it when owners want to do everything right from the start. Welcome to the PAWsitive Perfect Puppy Program Cora.

Please keep pets indoors with a constant noise like the TV. Make them have safe places to hide and supervise wherever possible. If your dog has extreme reactions to fireworks consider speaking to your vet.
