Good morning
Human: What if I told you in order for me to throw the ball, you must first let go of the ball.
Some dogs: 🐶🤯
There's also a possibility your dog isn't as into fetch as you think they ought to be. Play the games your dog likes!
Good morning - how much does your dog weigh?
I feel like that meme is more of a winter problem. But still applicable if you've got a dog sitting on the sheet and you want to strip the bed.
Good morning to everyone who lets their dog sniff on a walk.
Good morning - if you'd rather your puppy didn't chase the lawn mower or shred the mail, you better enrol in our puppy school.
🎨OFF THE LEASH
🧐Event-related potentials indicate differential neural reactivity to species and valence information in vocal stimuli in sleeping dogs.
🐶Dogs know who is talking, and how they are feeling - even when they sleep 😴
Dogs live in a complex social environment where they regularly interact with conspecific and heterospecific partners. Awake dogs are able to process a variety of information based on vocalisations emitted by dogs and humans. Whether dogs are also able to process such information while asleep, is unk...
Good morning. Happy wayback Wednesday.
Wayback when, people would put their hands in their dog's food bowls - presumably to show them who is boss. Dominance/Alpha theory has been debunked for decades. Unfortunately, this unnecessary ritual is continued throughout some sheltered pockets of the world, by trainers stuck in the past, or by people who have been handed down uncommon sense.
Fortunately, 🎨Trick Woofs is here to highlight the laughability of the practice.
For training advice that's up to date in 2024, enrol in puppy school or in home dog training with us today.
Most people know they should walk their dog. But how much is enough or too much? This article has some factors to take into consideration.
Unfortunately I am called in for training by people who have a dog who is refusing to walk.
How often you should walk your dog is determined by the dog's age, health, diet, and condition. Younger and older dogs need less exercise.
Good morning - lets make today the day you stop patting dogs on the head.
How to pat a dog
1. Ask the owner
2. Ask the dog - allow them to come to you, and have time to sniff. Do they have loose wriggly body language? Are they soliciting attention?
3. Pat - from the side. Touch the shoulder rather than go in over the dog's head. Pat from collar to tail. Just a few seconds.
4. Stop and watch - Stop patting and watch the dog. If they walk away respect their choice they've had enough. If they've still hanging out with loose wriggly body language and soliciting attention, that might be a sign to continue to pat.
Just because YOUR DOG likes being touched in a certain way - doesn't mean all other dogs will like that too.
🎨Adamtots, Paul J. Kearney+
Good morning - don't feed your dog off your plate today - or you might end up at the vet with a sick dog.
If stealing food, and begging at the table is a problem for you - we can help with that.
Good morning. I hope this person isn't being forced to go to Christmas gatherings tomorrow and get hugged by people he doesn't want touching him. Hopefully he's got a plan to give himself some space and chill out if it's too stressful for him to cope with.
Good morning - how's your eyesight?
Good morning - thank dog it's Friday.
Does your pet 'get away with' stuff just because they're cute? You can't stay mad at that face.
Good morning. A gentle reminder to look on the bright side of life. What does your dog do well? Try focus on what your dog is good at, instead of dwelling on what's 'bad' about them all the time. Even if that special thing you like about them, or they're good at, is a bit goofy.
Playing to your dog's strengths might also be a key to modifying other behaviours too. We look at all sides of your dog's behaviour during our analysis before formulating an individual management and training plan during your initial behaviour consultation.
🧐Evaluating the Impact of Facial Phenotypes on Communication between Humans and Canines. Or an investigation into whether markings on dogs’ faces influence how expressive they are perceived to be by humans.
As dogs become more and more integrated into human society, it’s important that we understand how they communicate with us and how we can better communicate with them.
Guess who teaches their students about how dogs communicate 🙋♀️
Facial phenotypes are significant in communication with conspecifics among social primates. Less is understood about the impact of such markers in heterospecific encounters. Through behavioral and physical phenotype analyses of domesticated dogs living in human households, this study aims to evaluat...
Good morning. It's true - people expect so much of animals, and don't even hold themselves or their kids up to those standards. Did you know that a lot of 'naughty' puppy behaviour is actually normal puppy behaviour? And that by meeting your puppy's needs, you'll go a long way to reducing problematic behaviour?
It's actually cheaper and easier to prevent problems, than to try 'fix' them later.
You can learn all about it in our puppy school.
All about nail clippers. What's best for you and your dog?
*A dog’s nails are technically “claws,” because they have nerves and blood vessels in them. Nails do not.
The best dog nail clippers are the ones that fit your hand and are easy for you to maneuver.
Good morning, do you think this will be a productive meeting? Hopefully "being a good doggo" is on the agenda.
Speaking of being a good doggo... the best puppies turn into the best dogs. So join our puppy school!
Good morning. I know it's easy, and very tempting to blame the dog, and call them "stubborn".
But did you know there are way more reasons why your dog might not be doing the thing you want them to do?
Calling them stubborn doesn't really change or fix anything does it? Instead of blaming the dog, lets train the dog.
We unlock the mystery behind your dog's behaviour. By helping you to understand them, and training in a more effective way that yields long term results.
🎨Do No Harm Dog Training
Good morning
Everyone's dog training journey is different. Try not to compare yourself or your dog to others. And reach out if you ever need some non-judgemental support for your dog's behaviour.
Good morning, Can your dog catch a piece of food?
It's pretty handy to be able to toss a reward from a distance. If you have a baby puppy, it might take a little longer for them to develop their mouth-eye coordination. So don't be surprised if it's hitting them in the face to begin with or they've missed it 😆
Good morning, thank dog it's Friday.
What are your favourite dog breeds? 🐶
I love all dogs, but I guess I'd start talking about Australian Cattle Dogs first 😜
Good morning,
Did you know that if you just got a puppy or a rescue, that they won't be trained instantaneously?
Learning is an ongoing process. Not a single event. There will be ups, and downs. It can go fast, or slow. Sometimes you feel like you're going forward, sometimes backward.
Kids go to school for 12 years to learn how to human being. And here we are expecting the animal we invited into our homes to have a masters degree in living in the human world in 12 weeks. Preposterous.
The good news is that although it won't happen overnight, it can happen. Keep at it!
🧐Research comparing trial and error learning vs errorless learning in pet dogs.
🇦🇺 School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, The University of Adelaide
"These results are discussed in relation to their benefits for training dogs more effectively and with better welfare during training, suggesting errorless learning could be more greatly utilized for canine training and research."
Guess who likes to train dogs more effectively, whilst taking their welfare into consideration 🙋♀️

Good morning, I know you want a dog owner hack.
If you come across advice claiming to be a 'hack' - evaluate it carefully. There are no real shortcuts when it comes to animal care, including training. Sorry about that.
Why do dogs roll on their backs? You might be surprised to find that it's not all about submission or getting a belly rub!
Dogs roll on their backs to scratch itches, feel good, or bask in a scent they like even if skunk or roadkill isn't a smell their owner likes.
Good morning,
If barking at the doorbell is annoying you, there are a few things you can do to reduce your frustration. Here are a few broad examples.
🐾Manage it. If the noise of the doorbell is the trigger to barking - then you could disconnect your doorbell in the interim. No dingdong = no bark.
🐾Train it. What do you want your dog TO DO instead? You'll need to train a new response to running to the door and barking. Doorbell = pick up a toy in your mouth and run to your crate, could be something that works for your dog.
🐶Some people like their dog alerting to people on the property. Training your dog to shush and settle on cue might work for you. This might mean the dog will bark, but not continue to carry on barking, and on, and on...
Always consult a certified force free trainer from the for a management and training plan if you want to get serious about changing your dog's behaviour.
Good morning, are you a robot?
I know how Snoopy feels, I too find captcha difficult sometimes.
Speaking of robots, your dog isn't one. Stop expecting 100% compliance from your companion animal. It's a dog! They will do normal dog things.
Good morning - have a great Sunday.
Do you also have a grandma who feeds your dog obsession by buying you all of the dog things?
Good morning
In my house this is called doing a toy mu®️d3r.
🐾Take away toys that are broken if they pose a risk
🐾Supervise your dog to make sure a toy is safe and appropriate for them
🐾Cheap toys can be cheap thrills and 5 mins of fun for your dog - that's fine
🐾 If you're sick of your dog wrecking toys then put them away when not supervised. Or invest in more durable toys as appropriate for your dog. Find a different way to meet their play needs.
I'm a toy connoisseur, ask me about my favourites.
