A BIG thank you to everyone for their love and support of my dog behaviour business.💕🙏
Not only do you choose me to help you with your dog, you're happy to wait until you can get in to see me.
Even though I've been in this industry more than most, (over 30 years😊) I don't take what I do for granted.
I continue to work hard for all my clients, striving to bring out the best in them and their dogs.💯💯
There are still some spots available for September but they're filling fast.

Guess what❓😀
I'm a National bike joring champion.😀🐺🚴♂️💨💨💨
During my years of competing with our beauties I had great success in many events.🙏
This pic is from the 2018 Nationals held in South Australia.❤
I was awarded National Champion in bike joring at previous National's that were held in Western Australia.🏆🥇👍👏
My dogs and I had great success in various events we competed in, not only locally but also interstate.❤🙏
I enjoyed competing with the Eastern States competitors.😊

DOES YOUR DOG DISLIKE OTHER DOGS❓
Dogs can act up with dogs in close proximity while others are challenged at the sight of another dog quite some way in the distance.
Some take an instant dislike with particular individuals without even having a historical experience.
While others lose themselves upon sight of particular breeds of dogs.
It may remind them of a dog that they didn't have a good interaction with in the past, but this is not always the case.
If your dog had a bad experience with another dog, they may avoid or react to other dogs of the same breed or those of similar appearance.
If your dog has been attacked by another dog, they might exhibit intense fear, feel agitated or exhibit aggression towards other dogs after a traumatic experience.
Depending on your dog's temperament they may not be affected at all as they have a high level of sociability and bounce back well.
Most dogs that bark and lunge at other dogs can be frustrated, scared, aggressive, or overly excited.
If your dog needs help with their behaviour around other dogs or other behavioural issues, feel fee to get in touch.
I do get booked in advance so to avoid disappointment get in soon to reserve your spot.

MEDIA RELEASE❗
Entitled selfish uncaring dog owners on the rise
Dog owners are increasingly violating leash laws and creating havoc for responsible dog owners.
People have a legal duty to have control of their dog in public.
But the truth is, many dog owners can’t control their dogs when they’re off leash and aren’t concerned about the implications of their dog running up to harass another dog on lead.
Off lead dogs bounding up to on lead dogs are a nightmare for the recipients of unwelcomed encounters.
Understandably, the receiving dogs can feel challenged and get protective, fearful, and defensive, and their owners become anxious, taking away the basic pleasure of being able to walk your dog peacefully.
This entitled behaviour is the biggest bugbear for responsible dog owners.
There are far too many irresponsible dog owners out there that simply don't understand or don’t care enough to understand dog psychology.

So very pretty just like your mama.❤❤
😍
What a nice pic of a dog and their human enjoying their time together in public. 🙏
Minding their own business and strolling along peacefully as they have every right to do so. 💯
Also a responsible dog parent too, carrying a poo bag.
Such a serene scene seeing dog and human enjoy doing a simple act of minding their own business, enjoying their life just like many other responsible people with their dogs on lead like to do everyday.
What goes through the mind of those irresponsible, careless and selfish people who actually think that it is ok to let their off lead dog rush up to people in this very situation?
Are they thinking of themselves and no one else?
Are they considering their own dog's safety?
Do they put themselves in the shoes of these recipients? Obviously not.
Do they care that their poor choice has ruined that person's day?
Do they know how much anxiety letting their off lead dog approach, rush at, regardless of the dog's motivation has created?
There is more to be said about this increasingly problematic issue. For the purpose of educating, raising awareness and behaving respectfully to others and their on lead dogs.

Uncontrolled dogs reigning terror on posties
Taking charge of your dog when posties enter your property is essential.
It’s not ok to allow your dog to push through the front door or wander freely outside the front of your house, and your dog isn’t allowed to roam the neighbourhood and be a menace in the community.
The difference between ensuring a postie stays safe from a dog attack lies with the dog’s human.
To allow your dog access to chase, bite or knock a postie off his bike is not okay.
Your dog is acting out due to its genes, experiences, and because its being territorial.
Such incidents can easily be prevented by behaving like a switched-on dog owner.
Posties are understandably fed up and Australia Post has now warned it will stop delivering to homes with aggressive, uncontrolled dogs, it also reports all dog-related incidents to local councils.

VERY GOOD TIMES❗🐺
Here I am with our sweet girl Tickle ❤ competing in canicross.
Tickle and I competed successfully from the very first race that was run in this state.🏆🥇
Despite my dislike for running, ☺️ I pushed myself to do my very best and together with my beautiful and important team mate, Tickle who helped me move and move fast, we did a lot of winning and had great fun.💨💨💨
So happy we were part of this sport during the golden years.😀🐺
They were happy times. 💯💯💯
🙌
Our bliss.❤🐺❤🐺
🥰
Many thanks for the ongoing support of my dog behaviour service.☺️😊
And special mention to those clients who are happy to wait until August to see me even though they can book someone else much sooner. 🙏
Grateful for the continued support.💯

Do the research before buying a designer dog
With the trend of owning designer dogs continuing, would-be designer dog owners need to practice forward-focused thinking to prepare for potential pitfalls and focus on the consequences and long-term implications of their choices, rather than on immediate gratification.
This mindset helps us make informed and purposeful decisions for the dog’s future wellbeing.
Designer dogs can have significant health issues and if their owners haven’t researched their designer breed of choice effectively, it can have costly and heartbreaking ramifications.
Strong consideration should be taken into the genetic disorders that can plague these dogs.
These dogs are expensive and while there are potential owners willing and able to purchase designer dogs at a hefty price on a whim, ongoing expensive vet treatments and health concerns can eventually add up to the animal being forfeited which isn’t a healthy option for any dog or owner.

Here's some footage of Tara playing with Truckie Truck.😊 Tara is a rescue dog and her mum and dad sought my services to help her behaviour with other dogs.🆒️ One of my wonderful clients recommended my services to help out Tara and her parents.🙏 It's common for my clients to feel uncertain about their dog's motivation towards other dogs and what their body language represents with each individual.🆗️ During my behaviour consultations, I guide you through the process step by step to help you identify what signs you need to look out for. Safety is number 1️⃣ priority and my dogs and I help put you and your dog at ease during the consultation.💯 Not all of my clients’ dogs get to interact with my dogs 'off lead' as you see in this video, but MANY dogs get to interact on lead which very often is for the first time EVER❗🥳👏😇 It's a massive step for my clients to witness their dog's having such a breakthrough.💯 Do you have a reactive dog❓ Feel free to DM me and we'll have an obligation FREE chat about how you can help improve your dog's behaviour.😊
I've featured Aki previously and how well he did during his consultations with my dogs and I. 😀 Here you see Truckie and Aki, two boys chilling out.🤗 I love educating my clients about dog body language and explaining the interactions and understanding the meaning behind the behaviour.💯 The more you empower yourself to look, listen and learn the better your knowledge base is in knowing what makes your dog tick.✅
This little guy is Bentley with our beloved Windy boy. 🥰❤ I will share more in a separate post but for now check out Bentley chilling out with Windy. ❤❤ Great success 🥳 during both his consultations with my dogs.👍💯👏
There is no way he can realise that you turning the wheel or pushing a pedal makes the car move. They must think that both of you walk out to this adventure box, you have your set, they have theirs, and you wisk off to a mystery location – sometimes parks, sometimes the vet; you just roll the dice and go on adventures together. 💥💥💥 I love our adventures with our dogs and we know how much they buzz with excitement everytime we go for a road trip.❤💯🐺 PS : This isn't my quote. I just want to share with my community. 🙏
This is Mackenzie and he is nearly 3 years of age.😊 I will prepare a separate post about what we achieved during our sessions but for now you see him happily chilling out with our beautiful Trucky Trucckkk.❤
This sweet man is Blue and he and his mum drove a little over 3 hours to have a consultation with my dogs and I.👏 I’m always grateful for my dedicated clients and when you see someone so keen to see if you can help their dog that they have an over 6 hour return trip, well that is indeed dedication.🙏 Blue has been reactive towards dogs since a puppy. He is 3yoa and nothing has helped so far so Blue’s vet recommended my services.👍 So how did we do…. I am pleased to say AMAZING❗ Blue’s mum actually said to me that I’m the only one she has had success with.🙏 I’m so pleased with this result and his mum was so happy that she nearly cried when Blue had a major breakthrough with my Truckie Truuccckkk.🥳 So happy.🤙
Buffy was a working dog for the majority of her life until she retired herself 😆 (according to the farmer 🤠). Her new mum and dad adore her which is totally understandable as she's such a lovely lady. Buffy’s vet recommended that her humans come and see me for a behaviour consultation to help with her behaviour with other dogs when they approach her. This was a great consultation about the importance of correctly interpreting dog behaviour and understanding that the behaviour of other dogs can be at the heart of the problem.💯 If your dog snaps at another dog they have every right to if they find the behaviour of the incoming dog is more than what they can endure.😎 We had Buffy off lead with my dogs and she was clear in her intentions that while she was very comfortable with my dogs, she was quite happy to mind her own business.😊 My dogs respected her wishes and there were even “Minties moments” where Buffy looked like she was going to have a frolic which was a delight to observe.👏 I wish Buffy and her parents all the very best for a happy life together.💕
This is Tessa and you see her here at the end of her consultation not wanting to leave but instead keen on getting inside to join her Siberian Husky friends.🐺❤ I love how many dogs respond in this way during our consultations.💯 Providing good experiences in real life situations, working with various dogs in scenarios that you come across where you see other on lead dogs is amongst the areas I cover.👍 Tessa’s parents said that cant trust her to be with other dogs and that she is aggressive with the dogs she has met.🆗️ We worked on the very issue that my services were hired and we had great success with Tessa behaving very nicely indeed with my dogs.👏 Her parents said that it was the quietest she has been and that she hadn’t played with any dogs like she played with mine since they’re had her.🥳🤸 And all this done without violence, harsh techniques, force or outdated dominance theory but instead with smart, dog and human friendly methods that aim to empower the confidence of both dog and human.🤩 Well done Tessa and family.👏
“One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.” - William Feather We always have a blast with our beauties on our adventures.💯 And so many more adventures to come as the cool weather approaches.💕
ANXIETY AROUND OTHER DOGS❗ I still have a smile on my face when I watch footage of Hope interacting so well with my dogs. 💕 Mel and Ross came for sessions a few months back with their newly acquired rescue girl. We had great success with this lovely young lady and were able to provide ‘real life’ situations to apply in the real world.🌏 So much joy when you see your clients and their dogs have and enjoyable session while at the same time we’re educating about improving their dog’s behaviour. As with humans, dogs learn best in an environment that encourages learning without the fear of being mistreated. When you have a consultation with me, your dog will be respected for the individual they are and rest assured they will not be treated disrespectfully or harshly in the name of 'training'.✅ No way Jose!😎
Check out young Alby.🥰 This is one cute Foxy.💯 I’ll share his story another day but for now he’s here to brighten up your day! And talking about brightening up people’s days, Zenify Pets you continue to put smiles on the faces of my clients with your AMAZING gifts.🙏 Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support of all our wonderful companions.💕
