Happy birthday to the one who started it all 💙
I got grizzly on a whim after school one day when I was 16 years old. Grizzly has been with me through countless moves, he has been with me through Jonathan and I’s entire relationship, he is the reason I wanted to work with dogs in a professional setting. Growing up, I always thought I would run a big ranch and rescue dogs, but after getting Grizzly it quickly turned into a passion for training. If it weren’t for Grizzly, The Collective Canine wouldn’t exist today. It is bitter sweet that my old man is now 9 years old. While he doesn’t act like a 9 year old dog by any means, it still lurches my heart to think about how much time has passed. I love you so much my main man 🐶

Sooo behind on posts! But just a few pupdates 🐶

Evie is boarding for the week! We only have a few short days left with her but we really missed her! I just cannot believe she’s such a grown adult dog still. We vividly remember her puppy days 🐾

Kayce is a beautiful 4 month old Shepherd who I have had the pleasure of doing private lessons with. He is a typical land shark, and his owners are very committed to raising him to be a stable, wonderful adult who will be an active family companion!

Coconut is a shy, sweet boy who boarded with us while his owners were out of town. I feel so grateful to be able to offer a space for dogs who are very shy and give parents ease of mind that their dogs are as comfortable as possible while away from home. Coconut did very well for his first time being away and actively working with a phenomenal local trainer to build up his confidence and target his reactivity!

Enrichment restock!
Now that the weather here in WA is getting yuckier and yuckier it’s time to come up with creative ways to give the dogs opportunities to work their brain. This is my FAVORITE work to eat puzzle to do at home.

➡️ Step 1: add your base. This can be organic pumpkin, plain apple sauce, peanut butter or whatever your preferred spreadable food is!
➡️ Step 2: add kibble
➡️ Step 3: fill with water. I like to add a little extra water due to kibble expanding as it is re hydrated, and this ensures it will remain soaked. You may also add “toppers” at this stage, such as carrots, blueberries etc!
➡️ Step 4: put in freezer overnight!

This is also a fantastic tool for those pups who are fast eaters. It slows consumption speed down significantly, and for dogs who are accustomed to work to eat puzzles you can increase difficulty by doing this process on a slow feeder instead of a regular bowl!

I see a lot of influencers post pictures of “pretty”, or aesthetically pleasing work to eat puzzles for their dogs but the reality is that work to eat puzzles do not need to be “pretty” to be functional and convenient. As someone who is extremely busy, this takes only 10-25 minutes to do 12-15 bowls and then I’m done!

Wally checking in for boarding!
Wally is an Aussie Border Collie mix and is here for a 2 week board and train while his parents are out of town! Wally is a well rounded phenomenal boy, and his parents wanted to ensure he had maintained training and fun adventures while they are out of town for the first time since having him. He is going to have so much fun with us! 🥰

Little miss Remy also completed six weeks of private lessons today and man oh man am I proud of her and her wonderful family!! Remy is a very busy girl and we discovered she is a 50/50 split of German and Australian shepherd. She has the most amazing and dedicated family to keeping her successful in situations where she has big feelings and providing an outlet for that brain of hers!! I know I’ll see her again but saying goodbye today even if for a little bit was sad. 💜

This handsome man is Levi! Levi is one of the puppies from the litter we fostered and whelped back in December of last year! Levi just completed 6 weeks of private lessons with his amazing new family. I cannot believe they are already a year old 🥹 Levi is a very high energy and high drive dog and has been SO much fun to train. 🖤

Walking handsome man and had a sweet lady tell me “beautiful dog, have a great walk!” To which I responded “thanks you too!” (She was working at a restaurant 🤦🏼‍♀️) do you ever give a response like that and then palm to the face after the interaction because you said something weird? There is a reason I work with dogs and not so much with humans 😂

Let’s talk body language during play! It can be hard to decipher what is happening while dogs are playing, especially between dogs who are vocal while they play. Body language GREEN flags- dogs are both having fun, everyone is relaxed: ✅ sneezing ✅ “shaking off” (shaking their body as if they had water on them) ✅ pauses in play, aka breaks ✅ role reversal, which is when dogs take “turns” being on top/bottom ✅ self handicapping (in the event of a size difference, the bigger dog will lay down to make themselves “smaller”) ✅ loose, wiggly, bouncy body Body language YELLOW flags- these might be signs to interrupt play and remind them to take a break: ⚠️ infrequent or non existent breaks ⚠️ one dog constantly on top or bottom ⚠️ increase in vocalization ⚠️ really rough play ⚠️ whale eye (aka moon eye, when the whites of the eye are visible and the dog may be glancing from the side) ⚠️ piloerection, aka hackles: I often see this understood to be tied to a dog being “aggressive” and a fight breaking out. However, a dog’s hackles raise while in a state of arousal and this does not always mean a fight will happen. If the dog shakes off and “re sets”, this is a good sign. However, f the arousal continues to increase without the dogs voluntarily disengaging or a human intervening then a fight MAY occur. It is important to look at the whole picture!! Body language RED flags- time to break them up and stop play: 🚨 one dog is beginning to get uncomfortable and the other dog does not give them a break 🚨 tail tucking, snarling, snapping 🚨 posturing/towering: one dog is standing over the other, head “hooked” on the other dogs neck/back 🚨 mounting 🚨 pinning Movement from the human is a wonderful tool to encourage fluidity and to encourage dogs to take breaks on their own! Can you identify any of these signs in this video?

Excuse my messy house but I wanted to share this video with some really GREAT body language. You can see Grizzly, the brown dog, is attempting to engage in play but is being a little inappropriate about *how* he is engaging in play. He’s overstimulated and you can see this in his forward posture, eyes are wide open and ears are little further back than where they naturally sit. Callie, the border collie, is very obviously uncomfortable with his attempt to play and rolls onto her back, lifts her front paw up, looks away from him, but when he doesn’t listen to her letting him know she isn’t comfortable with this interaction, she gives him a solid correction by air snapping at him and snarling. I called Callie off and gave her some pets because I want to make sure I am not punishing her for correcting (this was an appropriate correction because Grizzly listened and stopped what he was doing) but I don’t wan’t this interaction to escalate either. Yes, dogs communicate well and it’s important to give them the opportunity to do so but it’s also our job to know when to step in. They are now comfortably laying on the couch, totally relaxed. This is the reality of living in a multi dog household and while this doesn’t happen every day, living with 4 dogs who all have different personalities and characteristics has it’s perks and it’s consequences. Overall my dogs are wonderful together and as you can see, this interaction didn’t turn bad but had the potential to if Callie had over corrected him or if I had not stepped in to call her away. Our abilities to provide for and set up our dogs for sucess can go a long way with a little knowledge about body language!

0/10 hand eye cordination, 10/10 effort. Hobbs is the cutest 🥰
