24.01.2022 WORKING BEE SAT 7th MAR 7 - 10am. Members, please let us know if you are available to pop down to the club to give us a hand. We will be trimming branches, whipper snipping edges and doing a general cleanup of the clubhouse, storage areas and grounds. If you have dump vouchers, a trailer/Ute for transporting waste to the dump, a whipper snipper or pruning saw that you wouldnt mind bringing along that would be great too!

22.01.2022 Too much cuteness! Congratulations to our recent puppy graduates

22.01.2022 Nice video about teaching a puppy to play even when they want the food.

22.01.2022 Lassie Come Home Cinema’s most famous dog returns in a modern re-telling of a classic story. Lassie and 12-year-old Florien are inseparable best friends, so it breaks both their hearts when Lassie is sent away after Florien’s father loses his job. While Lassie’s temporary minders, which includes 12-year-old Priscilla, mean well; Lassie is mistreated by an opportunist caretaker and escapes the first chance she gets. It is the start of an epic adventure across southern Germa...ny as Lassie makes her way back home while Florien and Priscilla set out to find her. Both human and canine characters face many challenges and obstacles, but the bond between a child and their dog is not one that can be severed easily. Eighty years after Lassie first captured hearts in English novelist Eric Mowbray Knight’s classic Lassie Come-Home, the iconic long-haired collie is ready to be discovered once more by a whole new generation.

20.01.2022 Such a cool way of explaining it.

19.01.2022 A great Ted talk and inspired views on cross species communication

18.01.2022 Ball throwing to exercise your dog? There are loads of better ways of getting your dog involved with you and keeping him active. Using his brain more will be better for ending the walk with a satisfied pup who is ready to rest than filling them with adrenaline by ball throwing. Here are a couple of articles for a starting point. https://caninearthritis.co.uk/cam-conversation-with-cam.../ https://servicedogtraininginstitute.ca/.../174...

18.01.2022 Puppy Preschoolers With all classes cancelled including Puppy Preschool the below information about puppy socialising in the age of coronavirus will be helpful for those with young puppies. https://www.avidog.com/puppy-socialization-in-the-age-of-/

13.01.2022 Puppy class is on tonight - the rain is not heavy enough to impact class.

13.01.2022 An interesting study on noise sensitivity in dogs. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases//03/180320100719.htm

12.01.2022 Dont forget to use sniff breaks as your reinforcers for desired behavior.

09.01.2022 We will be watching for and explaining calming signals in the following weeks of Sunday FDT1 course

09.01.2022 Handy to have in case of emergencies.

07.01.2022 Meme Saturday... Please READ meme before commenting.

07.01.2022 How are you helping your dog meet his needs?

07.01.2022 *** Training Cancelled Tonight 27/10/20 *** All training is cancelled tonight due to the weather. The grounds will be too wet even if it stops raining soon. Stay safe and we will see you next week.

06.01.2022 *** Puppy Preschool is restarting *** There are a few spots left in our Puppy Preschool class, starting Thursday. Are you welcoming a new puppy into your home? Know a friend, neighbour or family member with a new pup? Spread the word and get those pups started off on the right paw! http://www.bdtc.org.au/puppy-classes.asp

06.01.2022 Our Sunday FDT1 Newbies- preparing to graduate.

06.01.2022 Do you let your dog sniff on walks? What about scent games at home? Playing scent games and allowing sniffing can allow our dogs to relax and also build confide...nce. Imagine you were taken to an amusement park, museum or movie theatre - you can normally see well. But you arent allowed to open your eyes to take it all in. Let your dog sniff. #allpets #allpetsed #brisbanedogtrainer #forcefree #science #itsnotrocketsciencebutitisscience #fearfree #qualified #brisbane #dogsofbrisbane #petsofbrisbane #letyourdogsniff

05.01.2022 Trainer Tip Tuesday! I often see dogs called stubborn, when they dont know what is being asked of them, because they havent been well trained. I remind cli...ents that we speak a foreign language to our dogs, so we need to be very clear and patient when teaching them. Since dogs dont understand English, we need to thoroughly teach a cue before expecting our dog to follow it. Calm Canines Dog Training uses force-free, reward-based training methods to clearly teach dogs in ways that are clear and positive.

05.01.2022 Curving (link below for article) is just one of the many subtle body language signals that dogs use to communicate, negotiate and problem solve. Dogs need to be... able to move their bodies freely to express themselves fully. Certain lengths of leash make it impossible for dogs to move with ease, or dip their heads down to sniff (which is frequently used as communication, depending on context). The dog should be allowed to sniff as she makes sense of the world through scent. When selecting equipment consider how much movement it restricts. Worse yet equipment that not only restricts but causes pain, to deliberately change behavior via an aversive. Aversives suppress behaviour, communication, erode trust and confidence. Communication through body language, along with behaviour is valuable information that helps resolve not just the surface symptoms but underlying causes. It should be listened to in order to find solutions and to be a supportive partner for your dog. So it is worth examining carefully what equipment is used and the other side of the leash - your skill level. What choices do you make for your dog? What support do you offer when leash handling? Both dog and guardian are in a constant process of learning and adjusting. A loose leash and length of leash allows the dog to problem solve, express natural behaviour, encourages the use of his communication skills and builds confidence. If your dog does not have the skills to make those choices, consider the environment and situation you expose him to, and find an environment that is better suited to allow for learning and confidence building.

01.01.2022 Goid video on teaching pup not to jump up.

01.01.2022 - ! We tend to concentrate on primary movers (big muscle groups of the ...rear legs and front legs), because we want a powerful and muscular dog, but often forget about this important link between front and rear - . The importance of the core is to . But when the core is weak, the body usually compensates by overloading other muscles (such as the , drawn in the picture bellow), easily leading to injuries. Interested to learn more about the core, iliopsoas muscle and core strengthening exercises? :) https://www.dogs4motion.com//534-the-dog-s-core-center-of- Welcome to share and educate!
