Happy New Year from Luxlight ππ
No sound sensitivities around here! The Aussies and I went in the backyard to watch/listen to the neighbourhood fireworks at midnight!
The butterfly babies also got to listen to the booms from the safety of their whelping pen - great desensitization and exposure for them! π¦
Here's hoping 2025 is way better.

Why do I do ENS? What exactly is it? Watch the video to find out!
*please don't mind my hands - I have eczema and don't leave them alone π
The babies started their puppy culture activities/exposure! They get introduced to a new novel object/experience every day - today was a big stuffed dragon with lots of textures and a crinkly tail! They were all very interested π₯°
Some raw puppy nursing sounds π₯Ή So so cute! #australianshepherdpuppy #aussiepuppies #luxlightaustralianshepherds #ckcregistered #healthtestedparents #healthtested #canadiankennelclub #puppyculturepuppies #puppyculturebreeder #aussielove #ethicallybred #australianshepherdpuppyβ€οΈ #australianshepherd #adorabledog #puppyculture #whelpingbox #aussiepuppy #australianshepherdofinsta #ethicalbreeder #dogsofinstagram

First and foremost my dogs get to be dogs π₯° Here's us getting muddy and swampy - they had a blast! #luxlightaussies #ethicalbreeder #dogsofinstagram #australianshepherdpuppy #aussiesofinstagram #australianshepherd #sportdog
Miso and I performed a little freestyle routine in a local community day event this past weekend with Skydiggers Disc Dog Club!
There were lots of people and kids, bikes, bouncy castles, balloons popping, plus the other club dogs waiting their turns, and this "routine" was made up on the spot so it was pretty messy, but Miso did awesome! She was a little too amped up to do her disc flip properly, but that's okay π₯° It was super fun and was a great training opportunity for her!
This little guy is so stinking cute π₯Ή
