What's it really like having an Aussie (of any size) around?
Yup, about like this.

Training Tip Tuesday!
Does your dog jump? Even when you say NO?
Here's a weird fact... dogs don't talky "get" negatives. Oh, they understand you're displeased but not how to correct the problem.
It's our job to teach them what to do instead. Some trainers call this behavior substitution.
Check out this simple tutorial for teaching the desired behavior instead of just saying no.
Hint... this works with all kinds of things you'd like to change!

Happy Labor Day!

One of a breeder's worst nightmares... being attacked in their home. And worse still?
A Colorado breeder was killed at his home and puppies stolen.
When modern breeder's say no to a home visit until pick up day, this is why! It's not just a scammer red flag anymore. Legitimate breeder's will offer other ways to prove they are real: phone calls, videos of pups growing up, live video calls, references.
Use caution and get your questions answered but understand the breeders are nervous too.
The breeder's death is being investigated as a homicide and the missing puppies are part of the investigation, Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office confirmed Sunday.
Make your own scent boxes!

Happy National Dog Day!
Congrats, Mo!
He waited and waited, but Mo... now Herschel... found his perfect family!
We always say right dog, right person, right time. This truly was a great match.
Welcome to the family, Cullen and family! We're excited to have you with us!
An oldie but worth playing again! Lol
I hunted zombies with my Sig (my German Shepard)! LOL

Want your dog to like water play?
Some dogs are Naturals. Others may need a little convincing.
Here's a cool video from an awesome trainer about how to help your dog love water, or at least not hate it. Lol
This is helpful for cooling in summer but also for bath time.
“I wish my dog would like water!” Is actually a surprisingly common request we get from dog owners!While some dogs are born water lovers (such as many Retrie...
Hee hee...
But truly, treat everyone with kindness. We don't know the weight they are carrying at any given moment.
Just for giggles. LOL
We all have silly games or routines with our pets.
For example, Reba asks for bones by patting my arm until I say, "show me what you want".
She then 'herds' me to the bone bucket where I pretend not to see it. 😉 She then sits in front of the shelf and looks pointedly at me, then the bucket, then me, then bucket... 🤣 until I suddenly see what she wants.
This pup in the video loves "monster's coming" as much as Reba loves her bones and "show me"! But Reba doesn't scream like this!!

When you think you have to sneak up onto the sofa but you get kisses instead of being run off, your puppy brain gets confused. LOL
Jazz is loving her training and is super quick to pick up things!
I'm still in love!

I'll post mine in a couple days.

What's all the rukus? Oh, it's Rowan vs. the Jolly Egg again. 😅 We have to hide it or lock him away from it when he gets too 🔥. Luckily, it cooled down a bit so he could play.
What happens when 4 or of 5 dogs get baths at the same time? Zoomie fest! Thankful for the heat reduction today!
Goofy Breeze with her ears flipped back enjoying a cool treat enrichment activity. Canned food lightly frozen in the treat ball keeps her busy!
This boy...😅 Mojave is maturing nicely. He seeks affection one the rowdy crew settled down, and he loves chasing bubbles! This quiet, thoughtful, goofy boy is still waiting for the perfect match. Know someone? Send me a message. We should set up a play date.
What is "puppy, puppy, puppy"? THIS! This phrase is an emergency recall imprinted to our litters starting at 3 weeks old. This recall sticks like glue. It's a safety net for when puppies go home and a valuable tool for getting attention before they leave. For one of our puppies? Volume up and watch the fun! lol
Yes, we still have 4 puppies. However will I keep them entertained? Momma Reba understood the assignment. 😅
For those who say Forest is being held still for those cuddles...LOL He put himself there and kicked back to relax. He's great at sit and his sniffer is still fantastic. I'd love to place this boy in a search or barn hunt home or as an ESA or therapy dog. Sounds like you? Reach out!
Harriet has mastered the sit for ear rubs. LOL She's still chock full of personality and looking for an outgoing human to pair up with.
