Doris learning from her older brother Max 🐾 she still needs reminding when Max needs a break from her playfulness and full on puppy mode, but max is so gentle, and such a good role model for little Doris whose still learning the ropes of what’s ok and not ok!

LENNY 🐾 Dog sitting with Lenny so far… We’ve had some really nice walks (in classic Auckland weather), and today lenny met lulu (another cavoodle!) 🐾 During my time with him we’ve been working on him sitting if he wants pats or play with a ball ⭐️ such a smart and sweet young boy!

Did you know there often is a reason behind a dogs shake if they aren’t wet?
🐾 This could be after something exciting
🐶 During a break in play with another dog (to “rebalance”)
💤 After waking (with that cute yawn and big stretch!)
🐩 cold temperatures or after rolling in something smelly
😣 and lastly but commonly after something they have found stressful (coming out of the vets, stressful interactions, etc) - it’s a way of shaking negative emotion off.
💫 It’s situational- read your dogs shake in the context it occurred! Is it right after you said “walkies!” or did your dog just find that interaction/ situation stressful ❤️

Dog Sitting Availability 🏡🐾📣 some spots are still available but filling up!

24/05/2023

I have heard people say- we don’t use treats when training! Awesome, treats aren’t the only reward we can offer- there’s a huge variety! Get to know your dog 👏👏👏 find out what THEY like (not what we assume they do)!

‼️ Yesterdays Puppy Training Session with Hazel ‼️

❤️ Today we started with teaching Hazel that the word “yes” means you’ve done the correct behaviour and you get a reward! She picked up on this pretty quickly.

🐶 We worked on getting a passive sit, where if she was sitting instead of jumping she got the reward (food or pats when she first saw me!). Started adding a hand signal to sit which is first finger up- feel free to practise this/ use it.

🌟 Began working on recall- she was actually starting to do this quite well, even stopped playing with a toy to run over. I would hide and when saying “come” she would search around the house looking for me! Such a fun game.

🍔 I introduced her to “find it”, and the leave it/ take it game too! It’s great to work on food impulse control from day one.

🦮 Next week we will incorporate training for walking on lead- focusing on getting her used to being on leash and practicing good on-leash manners. Ready for walks with her older sister 🐾

‼️ Bowies first training walk update ‼️

So nice to see you and Bowie today, its been a long time- so nice that Bowie recognised me!

✅ We started off by teaching Bowie that “yes” means you’ve done what I want and a treat is coming! He picked up on this pretty quick and then did this with the clicker- I found he responded so well to it.
⭐️ We did some runs of his name and a treat- reinforcing that positive association with his name! In the beginning I’d say his name and he wasn’t looking back at me, at the end he was making eye contact and checking in, even when walking along a busy road. Amazing ⭐️
🐾 We worked on recall- for this we played a little game. By the end of the session Bowie broke away from a ball to come back to me- this is a great first step to building that solid recall!
🖐️ We started on learning a new cue “touch.” Another amazing option for recall and a fun trick to learn. He is still in the process of understanding I’m aiming for nose/ touch on hand.
🐶 Bowie was introduced to “find it” and loved it. We practised his other well known cues such as sit.

It was amazing the see the difference in engagement from the beginning of the walk to the end. He was a little unsure in the beginning but by the end had happy tail wags, big smile, and constantly checking in with me- even throughout the walk.
Looking forward to seeing Bowie next week 🤩🐾🐶

Exciting news! At her most recent vet check, Poppy has lost 3kgs 🤩 her confidence has soared and she’s bouncing around and running through fields. Such a stark contrast to our first few walks together ❤️ amazing to see!

Lovely meeting Winnie and her owner today in our first initial behaviour consult- ready for training walks where we will be working on impulse control, to be calm around sticks and balls, and teach basics! 🐾

26/04/2023

First meet and greet with this sweet boy Simba. Simba is a rescue dog with a bit of tough upbringing, now in a loving home- a soft spot in my heart from working at SPCA. He has a few things he’s not a fan of- and that’s ok! It’s about adapting the lifestyle to the dog ❤️ Can’t wait to start with some training walks and dog sitting 🐾

FOOD IMPULSE CONTROL 🍔🌭🌮🌯🍗🥓
Such a simple and easy thing to teach your dog- they pick up on this so quickly and has so many benefits! This is a basic, and moves on to harder challenges.
If you have a Labrador, this is definitely for you 🤤

Yesterday I received my certificate as a Qualified Professional Dog Trainer. I had the privilege of graduating with my amazing class of 2022, who throughout the year were so supportive and showed how passionate those who are going into the dog industry are! 🐾

Thanks to my amazing lecturers and who have passed on their incredible knowledge and passion for Force Free Dog Training ❤️

A special day- after working in the dog industry and seeing the lack of knowledge around dogs- it is incredible to say I am qualified. Looking forward to all the doggy friends I am yet to meet and all the humans I get to help create a loving relationship with their fur baby 🥰

Weekend Antics with Penny & Lulu 🐾🐾🐾

23/03/2023

About half way through my stay with this duo! They are the most cuddly and people loving combo. Trish is an absolute softy and is right wherever you are 🐈‍⬛ and Penny is the same PLUS she absolutely loves food. At meal times we continue to work on her food impulse control, getting her to sit and wait for an “ok” to be released before eating a meal 🤩

19/03/2023

Meet Penny 👋👋 she loves people, loves her fluffy toys and has a little sister Trish 🐈‍⬛ I get to look after them for the next while and it’s going to be a blast! 🤩🥳
