Doggy skills are made of these: tiny, incremental steps of teaching and learning - for both dog and human.
R: Potato Channing () aced his first test of playing the “aircon servicing” game with Elisa. Made possible with the carefully planned DS/CC sessions before today. All geared to help Potato cope well with the sounds, smells and general hustle and bustle of having a stranger come into his home to service the aircon units. So PROUD of Elisa and Potato 🥳🥳🐾🐾❤️❤️!
L: CCO Kiyo, Stardust Puppy, would have been most happy too… 🐶🐾💜🌻💫
A lovely send-off with some of the best company - Elisa, Alex and of course, Potato! I shall miss everyone too, but looking forward to adventures ahead 😎.
From Elisa :
Had the loveliest evening begging 😂💕. Last tea party before Nee heads off for a well deserved holiday! We will miss U so much ! But we will make sure to do all our homework 😃🥰🥰.
An enjoyable afternoon spent continuing my personal education 😊. Unfortunately I can’t do the full certification versions of some of the Northeast Seminars () programmes that interest me greatly, because I’m not in the veterinary/ veterinary-related profession.
Thinking out of the box (or crate) 🤣😂.
From Elisa 🐾🐾❤️❤️:
Potato’s very own one and only crate with light 😂. Love exploring ways with to help potato along in all his training! He very much prefers his crate to be lit rather than dark and dull!
What do I do when I’m about to go for some R&R in just over a month from now ☺️?
💚 I plan ahead to make sure students are taken care of (and they know that they can still reach me).
💚 Another fun to-do to check off: all my continuing education courses are completed and squared away 🤓🥰.
💯 Such as this course - a brilliant and immersive event (with more than 70 hours of expertise) dealing with something that we often can’t recognise in our pets. Pain, especially when it’s subtle and mistaken for stoicism 🩶.
“The Chronic Pain Symposium 2024”, from Elearning Vet (.vet), Canine Arthritis Management () and much appreciated sponsors 🙏🐾🐾❤️❤️.
It might be over, but that’s why I love virtual conferences 😊.
A great course for pet guardians and all pet professionals 😊🙌! Eligible for claim from our 🇸🇬 SkillsFuture funds. Go for it!

From his Aunty Irene:
“This ball was one of your favourite toys. I enjoyed watching you pushing it around to make the kibbles fall out and was pleasantly surprised when you brought the ball to me when it was empty for a refill of kibbles. You were such a clever and lovable puppy! 🐶🥰❤️”

Flowers for our pretty boy 🐾🐾💝💝, always our sunshine 😎😎.

Potato was a bit worried about the raging storm outside, but still chose to engage in our stranger danger game. Hard work from Elisa and Potato Channing pays off 👏🏻👏🏻🐾🐾💕💕.
From Elisa 🥰:
Woohoooo our first vet visit was a big success! ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks to Dr Ang and Nee . We are now all ready to reach out to Dr Sung, a vet behaviourist soon. With the support of both Nee and Dr Ang. I hope to get a more structured consult on the behavioural medicine protocol for our little potato. Stay tuned as we move forward, one potato step at a time, working towards a better quality of care and life together!

It’s been more than 15 years since I was in this city. Landed on a beautiful day. And a most enjoyable stroll after dinner at the Sky Garden 🥰.
The @cheerfuldogs school is on break 🐾🐾🌴🌴💕💕. At Lavender Fields Forever farm 🥰.
Good things happen when you take the time to help your dog work through scary situations, one small step at a time, always at your dog’s pace. Such as what Elisa did for Potato @hapshapshappy. It’s the greatest gift and care one can provide as a dog guardian 🐾🐾❤️❤️. . From Elisa @hapshapshappy: People coming into the house to do big things - like assembling a bed/shelf, is a challenging task for Potato. To help him, our wonderful trainer @cheerfuldogs helped us think of a protocol that would reduce his stress and anxiety to the lowest. We were hanging out at the balcony, furthest away from the noise, while Nee and Jeff were doing all the work to help me assemble my shelf 😭😍🤩. What a wonderful village I have and I am thankful for everyone who has loved and helped us along the way. Happy to report that the session went well and we are well staged for another one on labour day! 😂😍😍. . . . #potatochanning #CheerfuldogTimes

A lovely weekend was had by all 🐾🐾💕💕. From our roving reporter Elisa @hapshapshappy ❤️❤️❤️. . Ending our weekend with an awesome #cheerfuldogsTime ! Love potato’s soft bright eyes now when his friends toss treats for him. He had a good time begging for treats from Nee @cheerfuldogs today ❤️. How far he had come from being stranger reactive and suspicious of pple offering him treats 🥰. Best potato ever! I hope I can always see that glint of puppy impishness in his little black eyes forever. . . . . #potatoChanning #CheerfuldogTimes #forcefreedogtraining #forcefreefearfree
I just love it when students take the time to learn together with their dog, at their dog’s pace. Just like Elisa and Potato @hapshapshappy 🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️! . Happy good Friday everyone! Potato just had his butt wiped 🤣😃. Clean butt! May seem like an easy task for many, but this is huge for potato who is extremely sensitive about handling. Best boy ever! . . . #potatoChanning #CheerfuldogTimes with @cheerfuldogs

It was indeed a fantastic Sunday 🐾🐾❤️❤️. From roving reporter Elisa @hapshapshappy: It’s #cheerfuldogsTime! What a busy but fun filled Sunday with @cheerfuldogs! We met with Daisie in the morning for some fun with Kod. Little Daisie has come so far! Look how chill she is beside Koda ❤️. Then it was workout with Max - looking super handsome and busy being the teacher’s pet! 😂😂.

Always the one to help us test, set targets and goals, and tirelessly helping me review every step of our journey. Look at potato’s lovely smile! he has learnt to stand beside his visitors and look at the table to remind me to dish out some treats! 😃. Also comfortable enough to showcase our trick - weight taking! hopefully he would perform in front of our vet in the upcoming vet visit!!!! 😃 . . . . #potatoChanning #fearfreeforcefree #fearfreetraining #weekend
