Finished off my holiday attending seminar.

Thanks for hosting

It’s always great hanging out with other dog nerds, learning new skills, and being inspired to continue to grow my business.

Exciting things to come 🤞🏽 but first we must put our learnings to the test.

You’ve got one guess and one guess only, who’s going to be my focus dog for this?

💜 Harlow
💙 Scout

We’re taking a little break!

Sep 15 - Sep 28

The doggos are being well looked after, have some weekly walks with .petservices organised and the amazing Sharon, Lucy & Jackson will be covering our visits whilst I’m away.

Emails/DMs will be monitored, only urgent messages will be responded to whilst away, all new enquiries I will get back to upon return to the office.

Existing clients, please contact me on WhatsApp for any help. Love to see you working with your doggos and being the best handlers you can be for your doggos.

See you all the end of the month!

Happy Training everyone!!!

ROYAL DARWIN SHOW 2025

What a weekend for the lil man. On his absolute best behaviour, slightly overwhelmed with the environment. All it did was turn down the throttle to normal dog speed 🙏🏼

For our tiny dog sport community up here, the show really is a huge test for all the dogs. Spectators on the side, a confirmation show ring right next door, rides and their horrible high pitch sounds, food vendors close by… it really is something we never experience, not even close to it, once a year.

A huge congratulations to all competitors and their four legged best friends. Just getting out there and giving it a go is a huge achievement.

Chippie, you really are something else. For the little effort we put in to agility/jumping and my huge expectations that you will just ‘get it’ you really are a superstar.

🏆 Novice Agility - DQ but stayed on the course. This is a huge win for him and this was the goal for the evening.

🥈 Novice Jumping - Q and his title!!! Swipe to see his run.

🥇 Open Jumping - NQ but super happy with how he did here. The exclusion zone was always going to be tough, but managed to send him back over the correct jump without crossing the line.

🥇 Rally Advanced - 96/100. Swipe to see where we lost 4 points.

Chip was also so lucky to be the recipient of the Echomidi Trophy donated and presented by Tanya Reichstein. This trophy is presented to the Top Agility/Jumping Dog of the night. What an honour it is to receive this. Tanya and her dogs were superstars at agility/jumping, with her dog Tulip having some amazing titles (practically the whole alphabet) at the end of her name.

Overall so happy with how we went over the weekend.

Lil man, you really are amazing and soon I’ll starting giving you all the credit you deserve 🤣

He looks pretty cute with all his ribbons and trophy 🥰

If I could I’d offer to foster him but I can’t.

Duke deserves a great home.

I first met him when he was saved from the pound. He’s a big guy, that needs love and time to help settle him down and give him the life he deserves.

Chip’s activities/social life is getting out of control at the moment.

So here it is….. he’s taken the plunge and started his OnlyPaws account.

Which photo should he use as his profile pic?

Think your dog is trained?

Read this ⬇️ and DM if you need help training your dog.

1️⃣ Your dog will sit, drop, shake etc at dinner time.
👏🏼 Excellent- but the pattern is exactly the same each night. Your dog has learnt a pattern. Mix it up, do it in a different spot, increase the distraction - can your dog still do it?

2️⃣ You walk your dog daily, or a few times a week.
👏🏼 Excellent- but it’s not enough to exhaust them. Your dog is being destructive around the house so you walk them more. Your dog is just getting fitter & going to need even more.

3️⃣ Scatter feeding their dinner each night.
👏🏼 Excellent- but this is enough enrichment for your dog. Increase the distraction or even better use the food to teach your dog things.

4️⃣ You walk the streets with your dog off lead.
👏🏼 Excellent- but it’s not a flex. It’s really cool & impressive, but you don’t have the right to make other owners feel nervous or unsure about walking their dog.

5️⃣ You go to group classes once a week.
👏🏼 Excellent- it’s a start, but the real work comes at home and when you’re out and about. Your dog quickly learns in this environment they need to listen, but everywhere else is do whatever I want zone.

🤗 Need help training your dog? DM and let’s get started on your training journey.

⬇️ Tell something you’ve seen/heard that makes owners think their dog is trained.

Take it or leave it, it’s up to you

1️⃣ One training session a week isn’t going to solve your problems.
- You need to be doing more. It takes many reps to teach your dog a new behaviour.

2️⃣ Only training at home won’t help.
- Got real world problems with your dog? You need to get out and about to help them AFTER you have taught them at home.

3️⃣ Your not being consistent.
- It’s kind of the key to training, stop sending inconsistent messages to your dog.

4️⃣ Your dog’s not stupid.
- All dogs, all breeds and all ages can learn. You just have to show them.

5️⃣ Your giving you dog too much freedom.
- Your dog needs to earn the freedom, teach them a recall before you let them run wild at the beach.

6️⃣ Loving your dog isn’t enough.
- It’s not going to stop the behaviour concerns

Ready to put the time and allow your dog to be super awesome?

Let’s get started!!!

I have 1:1 sessions available this weekend!!!

Did you work it out?
Comment your guess below.

If you think the answer is you…

✅ You’d be absolutely right.

This isn’t about blame.

It’s about responsibility.

And that’s the best place to start.

DM if you’re ready to help teach your dog how to behave 🤗
