I thought I would re- share this post as it came back up on my feed, and I really love this.
Very sadly Dozer died suddenly last year and did not make the move to Aussie with his family.
I am so proud of how far Dozer came in his rehab and he definitely enjoyed life a lot more in his final months.
Layla did amazing in her training and is now living a fabulous life in Aussie investigating all of the different smells over there.

A very sad day today. Another of my friend/client lost their beloved dog suddenly this morning.
If you have experienced the absolute heartbreak and grief in losing a beloved pet - someone has probably said to you at some point but "it's just a dog". It is never 'just a dog' (or other pet) to us.
I found this touching reel (get your tissues) from Noel Fitzpatrick (known as the Supervet).
Next time someone says 'It's just a...." remember this.

Followed by Kahi for his walk/play time.
Kahi is one of my very original clients. I remember meeting him for the 1st time, as he dragged his 6 foot + owner around the area, jumping and lunging. The look of terror on his owners face when I asked him to hand me the lead was priceless. 5 years later, Kahi and I are still best mates!

Boarding here is different than most other dog boarding. I operate on a one to one basis, this means your dog does not need to interact with other dogs, has individual attention and in a way that meets their own social and emotional needs.
Big or small, I can take them all.
Hates other dogs - no worries here
Is nervous or shy - lovely quiet country environment to allow time to decompress and just be in the world.
Plenty of space to just do dog things.
Eddie is back and he loves it here. Out for our morning walk.

Oh so much to say about this video....
Back in my uneducated days, I thought this was a behaviour we Didn't want to encourage in dogs as it 'encourages' this type of play.
Oh how wrong I was. Some breeds have a strong genetic behaviour drive - think huntaways bark, border collies chase things, bullies like to grab, tug and shake.
IF we don't give a construcctive and rewarding way to 'allow' these behaviours then you will have a frustrated dog. Frustration leads to behaviour issues and other unwanted repercussions. This in itself won't resolve training issues, but it's an excellent way to allow the dog to fulfil their inborn traits.

Despite all the sleeping poses, he does still get excited when we're going for a walk or treats. At 14 plus years, he's earned the rest .

Just wanted to post a quick update on Seed.
Seed is doing amazing. He is totally pain free in his mouth, now when he rubs his muzzle on you, it is for affection.
He is starting to feel as he is part of the family, making decisions to choose where he wants to sleep and whatever he feels like doing.
