Positive harness training
I promised to post a video of Tilly putting her harness on. I met quite a few guardians who struggle to put the harness on their dog. Look how Tilly gets her own harness on.
As much as you can, don't chase your dog to force them into a harness, help them learn that putting the harness on can be a fun activity, even when you don't go for a walk.
Positive harness training is something we can help out with during our 1-1 sessions. Just get in touch.

Biggie and Handler demonstrates their skills at Alex's Dog Development School on Thursday.
Biggie is asked for a down stay, whilst an enrichment toy consisting of food folded into a towel is prepared in front of him. The handler walks away and places the towel at distance, returns to dog then directs the dog to find it. Awsome work team, well done.
The skills:
Focus
Mat
Down
Stay with variables
Impulse control
Enrichment toy use
Find it
Loose lead and long line work
A great way to end the classes for 2023.

Bonnie learned how to catch thrown food this morning during our group session in Toodyay, Bonnie also demonstrated some good pawing skills and has shed a few pounds.
Way to go go Mary and Bonnie.
Why do we teach catch?
Focus, attention, co-ordination, fun and engagement are a few reason that come to mind.

Bandit had a few things to say about going for a hike today, I think it was a hit.
We had an awesome walk at Pelham Reserve in Toodyay, somewhere new and we spotted some Kangaroos. Good boy Bandit!

Super fast recall by Harley the Super Chihuahua.
Way to go little bro!
Munro practised getting out of the car and heading to the mat today during our group session.
I have observed that many dogs are excited and perhaps harder to steer when they first get out of the car. If we can make heading to the mat a pattern it would be helpful, later we can add in a sit or a down perhaps, plus some more duration.
A handy skill for a dog to learn.
Our decompression walk with focus on mindfulness went well yesterday morning. We had a trip to Lesmerdie Falls.
Shilo practices not focusing on the mini horses and offers trained alternative behaviours which are more desirable. Super proud of how well our 3 sessions have gone. Keep up the good work!
Shilo has been getting some training with us to kerb some undesirable herding around the horses and cats.
Today we introduced STAY, look how well Shilo did. Well done team, keep up the good work.
If Shilo is in a down stay, she can't run and herd.
Me and my mate Shadow....I think we made friends. What do you think?
