Finally, at the end of the week breakfast catch up with my amazing Aussie girl.

Although I love having breakfast with mates but I truly can't and won't leave my Aussie out, right?

Have a good weekend you all.

Travelled down to Empire Bay this morning to help a client with her staffie, and the first thing I got was this list for me to attend to her dog behaviours !
Ummmm, it's quite a list, isn't it?
So,.most that I can cover in 2 hours is the behavioural part, but obedience training is a course on its own, so of with us at our boarding and training facilities for 3 weeks of obedience training then teach the owner how to continue with their pooch obedience training ( basics, heeling, sit, stay, down and recalls all around farm animals as distraction to to strengthen all training excises.

So once the pooch is trained by us then it's time for the owners to be trained and up hold it's training for the rest of their dog life at least 3 to 4 time a week for 20 minutes a session to maintain what we taught as if our clients don't the pooch will loose all he was taught within a few weeks , a dog memory isn't like a computer chip that it stays there for life once it's been feed the information a dog needs constant training for the rest of it's life to keep the memory sharp and responsive.

Once again, as a last resort dog trainer, I was called upon to help this family with their loving BC pooch to stop his behaviour around the trampoline while the children are playing in it .
The owner was advised by the past dog trainers when his border starts to chase and bark at the kids while jumping on the trampoline is to throw treats under the trampoline and crate him away to avoid all the hype at the kids .. and did those distractions work?? Well?? I wouldn't be here if it did, right??

So let's formulate a behavioural program so the pooch understands that it's not permissible to chase and bark at the kids rather than trying to use distractions ( food and crating) which definitely will never work because these the past dog trainers were use avoidance training not challenging the unwanted behaviour.

Love hearing the wow factor from my clients after working with them and with their dogs.

Take this beautiful male Rottweiler, the brother of my daughter Rottweiler chaos, who is beautifully breed with the best temperament and intelligence that I've seen in a Rottweilers.

The owner concern is that Titan Rottweiler, as you can see, was pushing her to walk his speed and not hers, and also, when commanded to sit, he would refuse by nudging her.

So let's help to coach the owner how to handle a 60-plus klos Rottweiler in a calm behaviour and a calm walk where the dog must walk with her speed and not against her speed.

Check him and the owner out in just after 30 to 60 minutes in the teaching

A delayed puppy education program with this 8 months your staffie cross.

He needed a lot of groundwork as he was so super hyper... jumping up, being territorial with next doors neighbours and their dogs, crazy zoomies when let inside the house, high-pitched vocalising when in his dog pen ( beginning of separation anxiety, biting his leash on a walk and a few other little behaviour that needed addressing to.

All accomplished in a delayed puppy education program.

Owner happy, pooch happy, and Johnney happy.

The first week of training in public and didn't the handlers with their dogs smash it!.
Check out this lady with her pram and her friend with a strange dog just walk through my lesson in between the dogs how good was that? Another older gentleman with his pooch walked through the class as well. Unexpected distractions is what I love when executing the P.A.T training.

Well done guys! Mighty proud of you all, you all put in the hard yards in the first 6 lessons and look at the results 💪.
See you all next week at the entrance.

Many dog owners go through the same thing as this owner did when you own 2 or more dogs .

Dogs seeking attention first by the owner can lead into dog fights, well, not in this household anymore anyway.

Lisa, one of my team members, and son Deazel travelled 20 minutes past Tamworth yesterday, but thought we'd stop on peel Street Tamworth for a quick socialising greet and meet people, sounds, smells and traffic conditioning as this little cute girl is heading to be a future assistance dog , the only trouble is?... she's going to draw to much attention by her sassie appearance right and she needs to stay focused on the job when trained!

So please just a quick reminder.. be thoughtful by not asking to pat a guide dog or an assistance dog when they are wearing their coats they are on a job with the owner, especially.. if you have your dog with you !.

Check it out folks !.

All ready just being at our rehabilitation/ boarding and training facilities Caesar the pup from below these pics only within a few hours with us we have him already 1. Toileting outside as he was toileting inside at his owners place only yesterday as I witnessed , 2. Notice how we condition the pup to remain nice and calm around children without licking or jumping up at their fragile faces, which can lead to serious injuries As I also saw this yesterday with the client children pulling their hair and nipping their hands. But at the same time, our kids are taught how to calmly interact with puppies at the same time, which is just as important to educate our children on how to handle, treat, and respect puppies which is also part of our puppy education programs.
Not bad only for only a few hours with us already, and we have the pleasure of working with him in the next 3 weeks, I will keep you updated on his progress.

Be nice, be kind, and during this crazy weather, be safe.

Welcoming Caesar, the 9 week young puppy cane corso to our 3 week puppy conditioning program at our boarding training facility this afternoon.

Caesar will be spending the next 3 weeks with us to learn and develop the important foundation to be a well-behaved and trained pooch in the future as large and powerful dogs like the Cane Corso the owners will certainly benefit from.

Our 3 week stay over puppy program will include not only potty training but also to go on Que, Crate training ( no Crate soiling) condition to walk on a lead, manners training ( no jumping up on kids or anyone for that matter), puppy recalls, prevention of food poisoning program, no nipping, designing and creating feeding management, social positive greeting with humans and animals on the farm with a few more learn to play, play to learn positive engagements.

We also cater for adults dogs to be trained or any behavioural resolving issues.

The responsibility of owning a dog in my opinion, is at the very start of when arriving home from day one! Not when it's too late and there's consequences to be met and had by wrong or miss management of bringing up puppy through its first year.

And this cutie owners have already enlisted young Caesar in our k9 bootcamp obedience training class for this coming September! What great ownership of the owners ensuring that they want the best out of their dog while growing and learning in the first vital year of its life.

See you in my k9 bootcamp fella next time when you're 3 times the size lol.

And the winner of the smorgasbord lane is Graham with yogi . Congratulations Graham this is the hardest and most tempting excise a dog can endure along with the handler . 1 the stay ..temptations not to break for the yummy food. 2. What for the recall, must respond straight away. And 3. Walking through the smorgasbord of food left and right without reaching for a quick snack as some have devoured along the way 😆 🤣 😂 funny to watch as it's our last week having a bit of funhere at John Gatt k9 bootcamp obedience classes.

Check under here folks for more challenging control work with our amazing handlers with their amazing pooches at only 6 lessons!!!.

See you all next week for public street training ( P.A.T. )
