We made it 🐺🏆🔝!!! Top Dog of people’s choices.

What could be more valuable than having the audience respect and admiration 🤩🐾?!

Thank you so much for everyone that supported us and voted for TeamBravo ♥️.

We always mentioned in interviews that performing well was more important than getting results, the outcome of this voting is an indication that people appreciated what we had to show 😉. Of course, we are not satisfied yet, we will keep hunting for better results and we won't rest until getting our own Golden Bowl 💪🥇.

Also, I would like to remember how incredible were all the dogs and their respective owners in this amazing competition. You all have my admiration 🥰🐶.

Cheers Aotearoa...for naming Bravo the most loved dog in NZ 🐺♥️🇳🇿

It is over for Team Bravo on Dog Almighty, and at this time, subtitles won't make it any easier to describe this feeling. Along this journey, we have faced so many challenges, but none compared to the one of leaving my loved dogs behind when moving to NZ. Unfortunately, NZ doesn't accept dogs from overseas areas considered not rabies free, and Brazil sadly, is one of them. I would guess that among all the competitors I was the one with the biggest desire to win just because I would love so much to make it for my dogs back in Brazil. Maybe it is only me, too much passion, only a romantic Brazilian, but those dogs are my heroes!

Handling a powerful dog like Bravo is also another huge challenge and, honestly, I'm not sure how many people could do it. I have trained more than 1000 of different Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Cane Corsos, Mastiffs, Doggo Argentineans, Pit Bulls, Dutch Shepherds and others Malinois, but nothing was ever compared to what I found in Bravo. If one day, you have the opportunity to meet him in person, you will get it straight away. Remember, he is only 2 years old, barks like an old dog, acts like an old dog, looks like a mature dog, is confident like an old dog, but he is only a puppy still. When competing against dogs with 5, 9, 11 y.o., the most valuable thing is the time you have spent in your relationship with your dog, and I am glad that we might have a long road together ahead.

The Belgian Malinois is an amazing breed but it demands a very different way to be handled and trained from the other dogs, we coped very very well with the television environment even having to quickly adapt ourselves for that need. I couldn't be more proud of him, our last run on the doggy dome was a CLEAN run (if we don't take in account the seesaw balance, where never any dog with more than 10 kg has completed it). We even NEVER ever trained agility before, the only opportunity to practice those exercises was in the competition, and we were competing against the best agility dogs in the country.

The elimination challenge, weaves, typical agility exercise that Bravo has done less than 20 times in his lifetime, and there we were, against the unbeatable Kruze on agility courses. He might have done the weaving at least 1 million times in his life. I love that dog so much and I would love to have made the final against him, that would be epic, but an elimination round wasn't my plan.

Anyway, the title will be in good hands, in Team Kruze, we have Kruze, so many times Agility National Grand Champion, a mixture of drive and control at the right dose, a very experienced dog in competitions, but only unbeatable thanks to Hayley's handling. I love Kruze and I know that he loves me too, he was declared my favo dog during the competition. In Team Koru, we have Misha, what a trainer, so much learnt from her, a very clever and positive mind that we know from where Koru takes all those skills, definitely my favo trainer, so much pleasant watching them on course. In Team Coco, we have one of the most special person that I ever met, Scarlett, she added so much to our environmental, so much energy and good vibes, a great supportive friend, she might have been a Belgian Malinois is a past life (that is the best compliment that someone can have from me 🙂 ), all that talent makes Coco that special fluffy thing too. In Team Maizy, we don't miss anything actually, that dog just adapts herself so easily to new situations and can do whatever it is when that is clear for her.

Once I stepped out of the Doggydome it hurt so much. It hurt not because we lost the game, Kruze more than deserved it, but it hurt because we couldn't place foot and paw on that arena anymore. We loved that pressure so much, we loved that atmosphere so much, the audience, the show, we felt like Gladiators back in the Roman Empire (partially thanks to Jono and Ben way of hosting haha), we were born for that, but next week, we won't be there for the great finale. Sports and competitions are like that, people will agree and disagree about results, it can be subjective sometimes, but the best thing Team Bravo can do is accept it. Dogs are pretty good at it, they accept and adapt to the new reality, that is the way that they deal with so many things that for humans are traumatizing (like death), they don't spend much energy on it and take the easiest way, so do I should learn it, and I've done it. We always mentioned in interviews that results are good to archive, but our main goal was to have a great performance, and I feel like we were able to entertain the audience a bit.

Out of the studio, between tears, suddenly I looked at my side and there was that little Belgian Malinosaur (Bravo) pushing his toy into my belly. He was proud of us, he was happy, ready to start all over again (never satisfied). Then I thought to myself, it would be stunning having a golden bowl sitting in my lounge, but I guess I have already gotten something way more precious here by my side. Having this dog, as you could see in the tv show, there is not such a thing that we could name impossible, I never train dogs, I make Heroes!

Also, it was incredible meeting so many amazing people and dogs, competitors and production staff, how lucky I was, I can definitely say: there is no prize more valuable than the friendships that I made for life during this journey. I can only be thankful. Great thanks to everyone in the production team for your support and for giving me this opportunity and trusting in my skills, and also for putting it all together making this entertainable show. Also huge thanks to everyone that was supporting us, I got so many nice messages and people stopping me to chat on the streets, and not a single hater (so far), Aotearoa you are unique, thanks to the people that make you, thanks for being home! I will be forever your Kaitiaki!

Team Bravo is actually not done yet, it is just starting. My hero is only 2 y.o. and since the elimination day, we have been already jumping higher, running faster, barking louder and we'll keep working so hard to push more and more any physical limits in the dog's world...so you might see us around, it could be anywhere, in the water: paddling for the next set of waves when ripping them in the lineup, in the air: flying from the top of trees, in the ground: digging out to find drugs or even in the fire: rescuing people out of that, and...if you want to see us on the screen again, please vote for us to be the Top Dog of people's choice (https://xd.wayin.com/display/container/dc/a4a1e86d-98ac-452a-8f7e-93e0d324bf02/details), that would mean the world for us...we can't wait for Season 2!!!

What a pleasure stepping foot (and paw) on the most important sport venue of Aotearoa.

The last time I had a feeling like that was back in Brazil during the 2014 Football World Cup ⚽️ at Maracana Stadium, when my dog Bope and I worked for the security team of the games.

He we are again, in a different mission. So does Bope, which currently has the noblest mission of his life: looking after my mom during my abstance overseas ❤️

Most people think there are only two types of training for pet dogs—dominance and positive reinforcement—but there is actually a third form called drive training. In the current marketplace drive training is the least understood and the least used with pet dogs, yet it’s the most effective, and it’s the method most often used to train working dogs: drug and bomb detection dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, military working dogs, and police dogs. The motivation for learning via the dominance model comes from an instinct dogs supposedly have to submit to the authority of their “pack leader.” If we look at this from the dog’s point of view we can see that being dominated is not necessarily a pleasurable experience. For treat-trained or clicker-trained dogs, getting a reward is sometimes pleasurable, sometimes not. For instance, when a dog is deeply involved in something that satisfies his instincts and emotions he has less of a tendency to be swayed by treats or praise. So while you may be able to lure some dogs away from stalking a squirrel by using a favorite treat, others will ignore you. In that instance, the stalking behavior (a manifestation of the dog's prey drive) is more pleasurable to the dog than anything you can offer. Meanwhile, being in a state of flow—as happens during play—is always pleasurable. Unfortunately Drive Training is a rare knowledge in the marketplace but shows the most efficient and pleasurable results for the dog and owner satisfaction. GO DOG NZ is proud of having a vast experience with this method of training. In the video, Woodleigh the Lab, starting to work offleash under completely happiness and pleasure. #nzdogs #offleashdogs #k9training #dogundercontrol #qualitydogs #safedog #dogsatisfaction #instadog #thatslife

Remember that although different dogs thrive on different training approaches, they all need a benevolent leader. Yelling, hitting, and other techniques that inflict pain or fear are never the solution for any dog–they can create a behavior problem or make an existing problem worse. The biggest favor you can do for your dog is to communicate with him in a clear and consistent manor which will not only shrink the margin for error on his part, but will also provide a greater chance that he will know what you're saying and behave and communicate with you in a way that will please you. The benefit of having this type of communication system with your dog will not only keep him safe and looking to you for direction, it will also help your dog to become member of the family that you can integrate more fully into your life. GO DOG NZ builds a higher level of communication between you and your dog through our ADVANCED OBEDIENCE TRAINING. In the video, commands Hug, bark, silence. The secret? Love and knowledge integrated, that's us... #nzdogs #odediencetraining #cleverdog #clearcommunication #happydog #thatslife #k9training #dogundercontrol #dogsatisfaction

Tilly has a lot of potential with just 3 months...

The pack is getting bigger and bigger...

Steffi is a blind dog (the black one), but she needs the same needs like a normal dog and exercise is one of them. In a specific way we can do it with him and make he a happy normal dog, like the others. Dogs don't have preconceptions or discrimination, they love the others like they really are. If you dog have a special conditions, we can help him and make him a happy normal dog again in the group...

Milly has only 6 months, but because her intelligence looks like a dog with 6 years..

Billy and Bella were neighbours enemies through the fence, now they can live in peace doing exercises together...

Jounnie and her owner walking naturally between a lot of skates...Good job family!
