24.01.2022 Today's adventure to valley drive park.

24.01.2022 One of the First questions I ask clients who come to me for advice on behavior or training for obedience is, Why did you Choose this breed? So many times the... answer is, Because they are really cool dogs! This, of course, is not a valid reason for choosing one breed over another. When you see a dog doing what he was bred to do, harkening back to his ancestors whispering into their ears, telling them exactly how they should perform the task....well, it can make you weep. EVERY dog needs a job, a purpose to validate them. A job that makes them stand proud and causes his tail to wag and his heart to smile. Dogs were bred to work alongside humans, and they consider that a high calling.....along with educating us..... And if one does not have sheep for a Collie or rabbits for a Beagle, or rats for a Terrier, there are still other functions for them to perform within their households. Our job is to find that activity, introduce it to the dog, and enjoy the companionship. There's a woman that jogs with her GSD every day by the Indiana K9 Learning Center. She puts a prong collar on her huge working dog and off they go. We had a nice visit over the fence the other day. I complimented her on her dog's manners. I stood about six feet from her when we initially met and he was relaxed and unconcerned. (And no, I didn't ask if I could pet him). That's when I find out what a mean owner she is. Her large GSD carries a doggy style backpack with water in it and she's been told that's mean. She stopped at a yard sale, bought some books, put them in the backpack and she was told that's mean. She's been chastised for running her dog with her because running a dog is mean. I'm not sure why someone would feel that a 100 pound working breed isn't capable of carrying 10 pounds of books but someone did. I'd say that person has never looked up what a GSD was bred for. It's bred for work! I know a Canadian that has huge herds of sheep free ranging on hundreds of acres. He has two border collies that he sends out as a team to round them up and bring them in to be counted. They'd go out before the sun was up and by mid afternoon they'd have them gathered in a large pen for him. He'd do a head count, open the gate and off they'd go. Imagine the intelligence and duration those dogs have to do that seven days a week! Now take those dogs and put them in an apartment. Yowza! How about the frustrated woman who brought her German Short Haired Pointer in for classes...AKC's website said the breed is "easy to train" so she got one. She's a white collar wife with a young son who lives in a suburban neighborhood. That breed may be easy to train for a hunter or someone that is experienced with independent, strong willed breeds but she was really struggling with him. His energy level, strong personality and tenacity is a requirement for the job he was bred to do but a typical owner will really struggle with this breed. Can we all agree on something right here, right now? Every dog that is in a home, in a shelter, in the show ring, or anywhere else comes from someone that was breeding dogs for a purpose. It may be way back in the dog's pedigree but it's there. Hunting, fighting, chasing, pulling, retrieving, protecting, patrolling, killing...your dog laying at your feet right now has ancestors that did at least one of those tasks very, very well. Those instincts don't disappear when they walk through your front door and become your family pet. There's a reason terriers are tough! Because you have to be a tenacious little shit to go down a hole after a rodent bigger than you knowing you're likely to get bitten. There's a reason you can't get your beagle's nose off the ground during agility classes. Watch a youtube video of beagles in the field! There's a reason your whippet wants to chase every squirrel in the yard. Watch a youtube video of sighthounds lure coursing! There's a reason that cattle dogs go in low and nip anything moving. Watch a youtube video of them working cattle! Here's the kicker...a cattle dog that goes in low and nips is probably the result of someone's responsible breeding. Same with the beagle, the whippet and the border collie. Those are desirable behaviors in each breed. Understanding the propensity of certain behaviors in breeds and mixes will help owners understand where the behavior is coming from. It doesn't mean the dog gets a free pass for the behavior, but someone looking for an agility dog may not want to go with a bloodhound "because I just love their ears" or a herding breed "because I want a dog to lay around all weekend with." All of us in the dog industry, including shelters and rescues, have a responsibility to the dogs we're in charge of and the people that want to add them to their family. We're responsible to educate the uneducated. - Michelle Steigmeyer, Indiana K9 Learning Center Book reference: Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds by Caroline Coile, PHD. #SupportResponsibleBreeders #ResponsibleOwners #PurposeBred #Purebred #Dogs

22.01.2022 Say something about this post instead of just looking at it. Thank you!

22.01.2022 Anyone wan to join myself and the pups tomorrow morning to explore these trails at 8am?

He's taken me out of comfort zones, taken me on ...many, many amazing adventures, helped other dogs to teach them how to dog, So they can find there furever homes. He is so cheeky and can be crazy and naughty but so loving caring and always has my back lol. . This boy has brought me so much joy when i couldn't feel anuthing at all... Happy 3rd bday Ollie boy, and happy bday to your brother Bailey

18.01.2022 Today's adventures, we set off for a hike in upper mudgeraba ,but we took a wrong turn, so we headed back and went to go the correct way, but it was a little too steep for myself to take as I didn't want to pull my calf agaib or break anything so we went back to the car and headed to the dog park in mudgeraba.

14.01.2022 We had a lazy day at home then tonight we all went for a nice slow walk, poor Flynn didn't really want to walk up the hill to get home but we all just tool it slow and steady with little rests for him. Flynn is 13 and has arthritis. But such a little trooper

14.01.2022 Our pack got a little bigger today, I think it's safe to say they all had an awesome time.

12.01.2022 It's been a crazy week with pet sitting, dog walking & dog fostering, then add 2 days of camping with onion picking with my son near gatton except we had a car issue and missed the first day, so i went on an advebture to explore on my own, while it was beautiful, it just wasn't the same with out all my 4 legged friends and seeing them run around and, sniff and be free and happy, but we were back this morning for my dog walking client's and back to make sure bear is settling in well at home plus and it seems he is.. The only down side other then the car break down was the fact i.have been suffering from cluster migraines. Fingers crossed i don't have any more.

10.01.2022 And the week begins....

10.01.2022 1st big walk that we have done in a while, and I think the look on Ollies face sums up how he felt about it! It was just the 3 pups today, so a 10km slow walk/jog to the dog beach it was!

09.01.2022 Big morning, 1st up was a 10km walk run with ava and Luna, in Burleigh, then i collected Ollie ans walley abd we went to the soccer fields in tally for a few laps of constant fetch, with cool off swims after every lap.

08.01.2022 Haha, some if these had me in stitches

07.01.2022 My phone went swimming today and was the final thing to make it completely non operational . I have very cheap replacement phone for now but doesn't work well. Especially the internet. So please be patient if you don't hear from us you can try calling me directly and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Ollie & Stacey.

07.01.2022 So much crazy fun this morning with a pool party, swimming and zoomies.

06.01.2022 What a busy morning we have had! Started with collecting Luna and Ava and headed into reedy creek trails for an hour to see what they were like, they were very, very rocky and didn't have any loops to do, but nice enough anyway. Then we headed home to meet back up with Missy, murphy and marley for some play time at home. Then we headed down to one of our beautiful local fields for a big play, run and of course splash in the muddy puddles and waterhole. After spending some time there we left to drop ava and luna home after that we all returned home for a nap

06.01.2022 Beautiful morning walk to the local dog park island. Spring is in the air, birds chirping, kids playing, warm air.. perfection

06.01.2022 Lost of sessions today, pop in and quick park visit for mudgee and Alice at 6am, followed by ava, luna and walley for there BIG walk and play, then next up will be ollie, missy & bears turn followed by a quick pop in to feed madgee and alice and another small walk to end the evening.
