Try to walk two dogs, or shall I say two dogs walking you?. Lol

To easy.. let's help the owners out, and let's leave the treats out of this as I don't have an extra hand to continuously giving those put on weight dog lollies, lol.

Unfortunately, these are the consequences like these unfortunate owners trying to break up a dog fight. It is so natural...

Unfortunately, these are the consequences like these unfortunate owners trying to break up a dog fight.

It is so natural to try and defend your loving pooch when you get off leash aggresive dogs charging at your pooch to attack him or her!.

But when you try grabbing the attacking dog around the neck or collar or even hitting him to let go of the bite on your pooch there is a very high chance like these owners you'll get bitten or worse the attacking dog may redirect his attack on to you!.

So now, just after my own little experience that I just recently had with another dog walker getting attacked by an off leash staffie, it just so happen I was across the road when I heard the yelling by a lady trying to fend of the attacking dog on her dog...like a true Mr King Gee style bloke ( 😆 🤣) I calmly crossed the road and disengaged the attacking dog, and yes the poor lady was hysterical to what she went through but happy to say her dog only received a few little puncher marks where it could of went the other way .

So now.... I've decided after that episode I'm going to throw in at my work shop with you all how to not only advocate for your dog on a daily walk against unleashed aggressive dogs but also ....how to break up a dog fight quickly and effectively... ! So there you have it folks, an extra program, so now you are all truly getting your money worth for only 50 bucks!
All the work shop details, if interested to come, are below here a few strolls down.or ring 0414562746 to book as I only have 4 more spots availability left.

Cheers.

John.

Be nice, be kind, and most of all be safe.

Why is this client giggling so much when asking questions to her? Lol. Because she can't believe how quickly I've changed things around for her 5 year old adorable pooch where she employed 2 other dog trainers from Sydney and 1 yp from here on the coast before me said to my client.... there is nothing that can be done with this behaviour other than lock him up into another room! Hear it for yourselves it's on the clip while she's giggling in dismazed, lol.

Yep! I'm definitely going to have to change my name to the last resort dog buster 😆 🤣 .
John.. bring dogs back to family.

Another concerned owner with her loving pet pet to get me out there and teach her how to start a snake avoidance lesson and no wonder after a red belly black snake was crawling around in her backyard, so let's get pooch here to avoid and reptile that moves near or around him it's going to take a few lesson by the owner but at the end it can be all worth the time and effort she puts in into how it's done pretty much like when clients come to me to help stop their pooch from pulling or being highly reactive on the lead I assess then teach then the rest is up to the owners to implement make sense? Or, we can do all the training at our in boarding training program, but it will cost!

So why not get taught how to do it all in a 2 hour lesson?.

Cheers.

John.

Hello everyone.......

1. Just a heads up if you would like to know how to advocate for your dog while on a dog walk if a stray comes for your dog like this shar pei cross charged at a lady and her dingo while peacefully trying to walk her dog on a lead, I was glad and I suppose she was glad to that I was not far behind her to intervene and help her out .

2. Also, would you like to know how to walk your pooch without all the drama when he sees another on coming dogs ( reactiveness) .

3. How about recalls? Does your dog have an understanding of a solid recall? No? That's probably because you don't, right?

4. Do you have a highly reactive dog towards people or other dogs that you get so worried or embarrassed by there behaviour in public that you sometimes have to turn around the other way or cross the street to avoid a stressful situation by your dog?

If yes to one or all of the above, why not come along to my work shop I'm conducting on the 27th of April at San remo 11.30am.

I will give you a complete understanding of why dogs are reactive or show aggressive behaviour or just simple leash reactiveness along with deminstration dogs I've not seen or trained..

I will be giving clear and easy demonstrations on how to leash control your dog no matter how reactive they can be along with how to implement a recall verbally and with a dog whistle.

And finally, which is very important these days as so many dogs running around the streets is .... how to advocate for your dog ( protect) and of course, what not to do.

All this above is only $50.00 pp. A jam packed full of advice, information, demonstration, and learning in a 1.5 to 2 hour work shop .

Ps. If you have a reactive dog on a leash, I will need 3 volunteers to bring them for demonstration. Please ring me directly on 0414 562746 for enquiries.

So there you have it dog owners, a power pack of watching and learning how to improve your handling skills with your pooch, and just as importantly...how to advocate for your dog on a walk.

Please feel free to share around, and if you know of a friend who might benefit from this work shop, be a friend and inform her or him about it.

When...27th of April.

Time 11.30am.

Location. San remo , location will be given on booking.

Cost ... $50.00 pp. Kids free partner or second person you bring with you is $30.00. Fair enough?.

Please bring with you chairs and refreshments for yourselves and me lol.

So please don't delay as I will be limited on numbers for this particular all in one work shop being at an affordable price .

All enquiries and bookings please ring John on 0414 562746.

Thank you and hope to see you there.

Be nice, be kind and be safe.

Privatised k9 bootcamp training, as this customer can't make it to my classes, so she's so keen for her beloved pooch to get professional training she opped to have 7 lessons one on one with me and manners training in public is my priority

Another future assistance dog, Mr Henrey..

Preparing Henry to face all elements in life is one of the important training skills he must have ( P.A.T) while undergoing training before he can gain an assistant dog training certificate by a registered certifier and hopefully in the near future one of of my team members is going to gain that certificate very soon so our clients can have the best outcome of the training and to be certified.

See you in my k9 bootcamp classes soon Henry as he needs to do a basic and intermediate obedience class to ensure he flys through his assessment to be an assistant dog.

In a few short words and pics if how I can only describe.. what is a dog!.

Don't you agree?.

21/02/2025

Man O Man these two Amigos really did my head in upon arrival by barking , jumping up at me even a quick little nip was thrown in ! . One of the poodles, Archie, was very dominant around the house, harassing the bird, owner couldn't even wipe down her kitchen cupboards with him trying to bite the sponge out of the owner hand, and soon as he hears the back door opens he would go crazy even attack his kennel mate !.

So let's help the owner out and show her how to tackle the behavioural issues she's having with her pooch.

Hope to see you in my k9 bootcamp classes Archie for more mannerism training.

Muscle dogs on harnesses!

Stop!!!

Harnessing a dog will only encourage them to sledge you as that's what and why they were invented for !.

Get the right training lead for the appropriate temperament dog, learn how to use one, and you'll have no more pulling and reactiveness! Simple as that ! And that's where I can help .

Be nice, be kind, and be safe.

John.

Hi everyone.. if you recall the clip I did of Aussies recall with a finger movement a few months ago? Well, I received a few critical messages claiming that their was someone behind me waving to call her, holding up bacon , a family member running the opposite way from behind me so that she can chase them and a few other ridiculous suggestions to why she got up to come to me on a finger wave.

So, just for them ( trolls, haters, critics, keyboard warriors, or just simple dog trainers) I'm going to do it again but with a bit more evidence no one is behind me and a bit more punch with her realls without commands, screaming at her to come, running the other way to chase me, or even use food !but a high-pitched whistle to call her of the chase which she is very highly driven for balls but also recalls and stop her on her tracks while running with one command only... so you see for those of you who can't believe what she can do and by the way, she's trained to execute commands in 4 different languages.... think again! And yes .. to you critics if I asked her to bite your ass she will. Lol.

Have a nice day.

Be nice, be kind, and be safe to you all, yes even yous the disbelievers. Lol

Chaos ready for work ! My daughter has put in what I helped her with, and he is now ready fully controlledl personal protection training program with me!.
My daughter Lisa raised him at his crucial age 8 weeks to 10 months of good manners, in my k9 bootcamp classes, response training of the outs in protection work. So now, after this April's k9 boot camp classes again, he will be ready to start PPT.
My daughter put in a lot of time on her beautiful big boy, so it is imperative that he is fully controllable in all situations.

See you again in my classes in April, beautiful boy and you to Lisa lol.

Check him out under folks when he was only 8 weeks old already in conditioning of training.

Some seem to think at the start it's cute and he loves me when displaying this sort of behaviour, right? Nope!. He is giving me all the passive warning signs with his body language stay away from my human ! As he did nip me when getting to close and talking to her !

So I've been asked to come along and help the owner to get some distance from her and her overpowering pooch so that she can have a conversation without her dog pushing her around and nipping people to stay away, you this RRB clearly owns the owner and just simply making a statement not to get to close and he needs and wants all the attention especially away from the visitor but to the owner..

So let's turn it around and show some rules that the owner owns him and not the other way round!.

So why is it so important to get it right while your muscle dog of breed is a puppy with my puppy education program? Because you don't want to end up with an adult muscle dog that you can't control when seeing other dogs on a walk like the second clip you'll see.
This client has asked me to come and help her with a proper introduction between puppy and her adult muscle dog ( Staffie) to ensure that her adult dog doesn't harm or might not accept puppy and needs to know not to over hyper play to the adult dog as it can be a threat to him until he gets to know him.
Also , while I was there, the owner thought she'd invest in the puppy program with great and happy results, so now to address the little foxy x who thinks she's the queen bee trying to put everyone in there place ! Well, let's put it this way, shall we.... she ain't queen been anymore within minutes she's a the bottom of the pack now! Lol.

We need to know dog language, not human, as these dogs like many of my past clients we think they understand human language! We humans are a very difficult species because we reason and beg to differ... dogs, like most other animals, understand association, rewarding good behaviour, and challenging unwanted behaviour ( balance) not with unicorn kisses and hugs and cookies, lol. So my job is to assess what level of damage you the owner allowed him or her to get into, and then I help by providing the know-how, then knowledge, connecting , and control all in one house call.
