The 3 musketeers having some off leash fun. This is a great area fully fenced.

When you love your dog, you make sacrifices. With Sasha's arthritis causing her some issues, I decided to saw off the legs on my bed to give her easier access!
Tried ramps, but she is a jumping dog and won't use them. So this was the solution.

Had some training and fun today. Was great to have a place for the 3 musketeers to explore and play in even with the rain.
Lots of things for our pooches to do!

This mornings walk and Sasha had to have another wash. After trying to catch ducks, she came out of the pond black and covered in black dirt. So at 830am, we had to detor to the dog wash!
Dad missed out on breakfast to ensure she had a fun time!

The things Sasha gets up to!
She thought the pond was the ground and nearly went down the drain.

Want to have a calm start to your dogs walk? Make sure your pooch is calm before you leave home.
Try this simple tip and put on your walking gear well before time to leave, then go do something else for yourself before you leave.
Watch how "excited" Sasha is before her walk.

New uniforms are coming soon.
Wanting to show that we all need to laugh when we have dogs in our life.
Training and helping them through anxiety issues is serious, but some days we just need to laugh.

Safe spaces for your dog, at home. This is so important.
We all need places to escape to for some alone time, so do our dogs.

Check out Sasha and me playing a game here and how she utilises her safe spaces.

Dogs need safe spaces.Just like us, they sometimes need to escape the world and also like to have some time alone. Safe spaces is an area, bed, may, under a ...

Our recall word is "Purple" and it is working really well. #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

The 3 musketeers having some off leash fun. This is a great area fully fenced. Through the session they never strayed too far away from us. And regularly checked in for treats.

A dog's best walk is when there are no triggers around. They don't need toys or a ball thrower. They need to explore and be a dog. They don't need to go for hours or great distances. What your dog needs is for YOU to put in an effort and create their best walk. Find a place where your dog can be a dog. We hardly ever walk around our home. Here we are at a local pony club. 5 mins drive away. No dogs, no people, no cars to worry about. Lots of smells, different terrains, and even agility stuff for Sasha to enjoy all in a 30min walk. Oh and we always have our @tractive tracker on! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines #tractive

Time for car karaoke with Sasha. Full video at YouTube https://youtu.be/9zC3BFw6tcQ?si=4O_C-wLbVdWYUGmy Enjoy the fun! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

A dog's sense of smell is so good they can see objects. And most times, they can get a treat being thrown at them, most times!!! But they aren't perfect. Thanks to Starlight And Orion for being real dogs! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

This is Benji (bordoddle) who came to me with a lot of anxiety. His fear of people is one of the worst i have seen, couple this with movement and lack of socialisation, I knew we had some work to do. After a few sessions we have now formed a pretty good bond and he is comfortable sitting next to me. We still have a long way to go but awesome work everyone on helping Benji build up his confidence! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

While mum and dad are taking a well-earned break, Bambi is having fun with me and Sasha. We visit her twice a day for walks, play, training, cuddles, and food time. Part of our home check-in service. And she gets little gifts too! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

While mums away, buddy gets to play. Using our home check-in service twice a day, Buddy gets a visit from me for play, walks, training, food, and cuddles! Today, we had fun with the staffie ball.

Practicing "Leave it" with a dead pigeon. On our off leash walk, Sasha found a dead pigeon, so I took that as an opportunity to strengthen her "Leave it" cue. #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

Hot days means late night walks for Sasha. Thursday night she couldn't resist going for a swim, which was OK as it was hot, but then decided to roll in dirt and dead fish (which wasn't ok!) So at 930pm Sasha had to have a wash, (again) then we had to stay up until she dried. My dog is so lucky she has an understanding dad! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

Have to share this amazing text from Odies mum. Odie is a reactive German shepherd who had many triggers. We finished his sessions a few months ago, and I am so happy to read that Mum is using the tools I taught her, and he is responding to them. This is fantastic news! What a great effort. #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

Wow 285 dogs have been a part of the Power Pooches journey. Both Sasha and myself thank each and every one of them for trusting us. Everyday, in our kitchen, we see all of their smiling faces! #powerpooches #powerpoochpack #dogswelove #dogtrainer #dogbehaviourists #reactivedogs #dogwalking #mentalenrichment #creatingconfidentcanines

Sasha & Jake

From Jake: I was lucky to adopt Sasha from the lost dogs home 1st June 2020. I went through deep depression and anxiety during the first lockdown. Living alone, working from home and being over 50kms away from the nearest family member, I knew I needed some unconditional love to come my way.

After putting in countless applications for adoptions of a furry friend, I was offered to home Sasha for a few weeks. Just to give her some support and help. Sasha had been in and out of the home a few times and has separation anxiety.

We also found some other issues of a fear of other dogs from a distance and anxiety. I instantly connected with her, having adhd, anxiety and PTS myself, I could relate to her. On the second night at home, she was already taking over my bed.

There was no way I could give her up so I adopted Sasha. Since then we have been working on her anxiety issues. I have a trainer, dog behaviorist, trying all types of natural remedies, patience and training. We need to go out 2 - 3 times a day.

There was a set back when we were attending the local park, knowing it was Dog on leash and we could train without too much worry, however some residents brought their dogs off leash. This was rough as a new doggy daddy every time I see Sasha stressing and in fear my adhd kicks in and I defend her.

After an incident where I was assaulted by a dog owner who frequently let his dog off leash, even in the local streets, this set back Sasha’s training by weeks and a new fear has emerged.

I needed a new distraction for both of us.

Personally, I love dressing up and years as an entertainer, plus my affinity with Marvel and Disney, I wanted to turn things around and make us happy again.

So we started our dress up walks.

I have found a difference and new strength in Sasha. She still has a long way to go and continues to check under bushes, behind fences, in driveways looking for dogs. She will bark at dogs and even shapes that are similar (small children/prams/bags) from a distance and do the doggy lunge but up close she really just wants to play.

Her bark is extremely loud but then she is a Jack Russel x Dachshund. But it is just that, a bark. We do try and avoid where other dogs maybe and usually walk th other way if we see an on coming dog.

Over the next few weeks we are starting on anti anxiety medication and a more thorough training routine, so hopefully this will see a bigger change in Sasha.

For me personally, dressing up and seeing the locals smile, wave or laugh makes me feel amazing and is helping my own anxiety during these tough times.

I hope you can see that we only mean to share some happiness, even if Sasha has a bark (and me sometimes!) it is not meant as hurtful. We just want to share some smiles and a wave!

So enjoy our dress ups, videos, pictures, and if you see us, give us a wave - Jake & Sasha
