25.01.2022 WEDNESDAY WISDOM... Look at life from a perspective other than your own. Be a #dog #guardian, not a dog owner #dogs #dogtraining #dogtrainers #veterinarians #humanpotential #redcliffe #brisbane #queensland #australia #planetearth

25.01.2022 WHEN YOU ARE TOO BUSY thinking about the end result you automatically make that important instead of the process itself. The first step in the process itself is to reconnect with your dog which will build their trust in you. This is because when you reconnect with your dog, your natural disposition is to be humane, compassionate and empathetic. NOTE ALSO the trimming of the nail in small, gentle increments.

24.01.2022 ITS TIME THAT EVERY VETERINARIAN raises their #consciousness and reevaluates the standard of care they are providing for their animal patients. #veterinarians #vetnurses #veterinarysurgeries #animals

23.01.2022 A LITTLE BIT OF SCIENCE... for Saturday Always remember the influence of #environment on #genetics. https://www.smithsonianmag.com//how-much-dogs-intelligen/

22.01.2022 THIS WEEK DR LISA talks about using REAL WORLD OPPORTUNITIES to help your new dog settle in, highlighting some interesting video snippets of Morty as he adjusts to his new life with Dr Lisa and Marco. #dogbehaviour #dogtraining #dogs #family https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1Oyn0vLIlg

22.01.2022 AT FIRST GLANCE, it may seem that science and emotion are mutually exclusive... but, in fact, its quite the opposite.

22.01.2022 HAVE YOU TRIED to train a particular behaviour or skill with your dog but nothing seemed to go the way you wanted it to? HINT: This is where merging the skills you and your dog already know with real world opportunities and your scheduled training sessions is so important. By merging these two training scenarios you will become a better problem solver, you become more fluid and coordinated in your technique delivery, and most importantly you will understand your dogs emotional state during your training sessions and know how and when to intervene for your dog and end the training session on a positive note for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE06XPRZcDE

22.01.2022 THIS ARTICLE EPITOMIZES the sad result of the domestication of dogs over the past 10,500 years at least. Selective breeding for temperament, needing to be a "non shedding" dog... a "family" dog... an "emotional support therapy" dog, and other ridiculous designer labels... selected for their coat colour, exaggerated physical features that put the animals health and welfare at grave risk, and any other genetic manipulation where dogs have to continually adapt to humans li...ves... humans expect dogs never to bite or show aggression, but humans completely ignore and even reject that aggression is a normal dog behaviour. Of course, behaviour needs to be put into context for every situation, however, from the DOGS point of view, there is always a valid reason for a dogs behaviour in a given situation, which also includes situations where behavioural dis-ease is present. We humans need to solemnly reflect on our inability to understand a dog as a species in their own right, as well as our abject failure in providing our dogs with what they need as a species every day - it is imperative that we humans protect our dogs from physical AS WELL AS psychological harm, because by having this mindset of being a GUARDIAN for our dogs, we also return that courtesy to other dogs and their humans.

18.01.2022 A LITTLE BIT OF SCIENCE FOR SUNDAY... raise your #consciousness #dogs #humanpotential

17.01.2022 HUMANS are always saying "I love my dog", but what does that even mean?... and more importantly what does that mean FOR YOUR DOG? Let's redefine 'LOVE' in a way that is measurable in a meaningful, logical way... from your dog’s perspective. #dogs #humanpotential #raise your #consciousness #planetearth #moretonbay #brisbanecity #australia #planetearth https://www.youtube.com/watch

17.01.2022 B.F. SKINNERS Quadrants of Operant Conditioning (although it may have been someone elses idea) were derived under laboratory conditions. They only describe how to increase or decrease an animals observable behaviour. What they glaringly DO NOT DESCRIBE is the ethics - primarily related to the emotional state and welfare of the animal being trained - when each of the quadrants is used. Kicking, shocking, hitting, choking, and dangling a dog in the air while they suffo...cate is unethical because it is sadistic, cruel and abusive - not because it is called positive punishment. Removing the shock of the shock collar, or the pain of the prong collar is unethical because it requires that the pain of the aversive thing is applied in the first place - not because it is called negative reinforcement. Isolating your dog away from their human family in a time out or locking them in their crate to teach them a lesson is unethical because it is harmful, abusive, sadistic, and cruel - not because it is called negative punishment.

17.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW that out of all the life stages of dogs, ADOLESCENT dogs can have a higher risk of being surrendered to shelters? This is because adolescent dogs are in the phase where their brains are growing and developing at a phenomenal pace - this means that there are not only hormonal changes taking place, but there are also physical, as well as physiological, neuro-chemical, and biochemical changes occurring. So, whats the by-product of your dogs adolescent phase?... What arises are some very pronounced changes in your dogs usual behaviour. https://youtu.be/xF_hemjW-l8

17.01.2022 WHILE WE MAY THINK ABOUT what motivates our dogs to perform behaviour, its equally important that we consider our own motivations in the same way. THIS WEEK, DR LISA talks about living in harmony with our dogs and why we should be focusing on whats appropriate and helpful from our dogs perspective, rather than what we think our dogs need to be able to do NOW.

17.01.2022 EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION now open for this amazing ONLINE EVENT Were also very pleased to announce that DR LISA will be one of the presenters!

16.01.2022 A LITTLE BIT OF THEORY FOR THURSDAY... Your dog is an animal species in their own right and they communicate their feelings with their body language Your dog also has the mental capacity or intelligence similar to that of a small child/toddler as in the photo, below Your dog, just like a small child, does not understand how to behave appropriately according to HUMAN SOCIAL ETIQUETTE Your dog also sees children as unpredictable, noisy and oftentimes scary and threatening... It is grossly unfair and unjust to put your dog in situations where things can become scary and unpredictable as this photo shows Make the time and understand the silent conversation your dog is trying to tell you... every day.

15.01.2022 DR LISA presents her groundbreaking theory 'science in eMOTION'. https://www.facebook.com//a.103431220329/3773801499350214/ #dogs #animals #humanpotential #moretonbay #brisbane #queensland #australia #planetearth

15.01.2022 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME you actually felt a true empathy for another life other than your own or your own species? Humans may have the ability to be highly intellectual, scientific, logical, or talented in a specific field, but this doesnt mean that youre living in a CONSCIOUS way with awareness, compassion and empathy. Apathy is the most destructive emotion that a human can live in. Move away from apathy... move towards #empathy and raise your #consciousness... be with your #dog

13.01.2022 ARE YOU AWARE of your inherited patterns of thinking? This video highlights the need for humans to truly reflect on what we take for granted everyday as 'normal'. #dogs #companionanimalforlife #humanpotential #brisbane #australia #planetearth https://www.youtube.com/watch

12.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW that your dog needs to get to do a variety of behaviours every day including REST? In this video, Dr Lisa talks about how giving your dog the chance to get a mental workout also has a very important physical and mental health benefit for your dogs quality of life. #dogs #dogbehaviour101 #humanpotential #redcliffe #moretonbay #queensland #australia #planetearth raise your #consciousness

12.01.2022 THIS IS A RELIEF... for the thousands and thousands of noise sensitive/phobic companion animals living in Brisbane. Raise your #consciousness Look at #life from another's perspective #dogs #cats #horses #companionanimals #noisephobia #fireworks #fireworks2020

10.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW... every #animal species has their own #behaviour that they instinctively perform and, therefore, need to do every day as well as behaviour that they prefer to do. By providing an environment that promotes the ability and choice of performing their behaviour, were also promoting the mental health and welfare of that species. #mentalstimulation #innatebehaviour #preferredbehaviour #companionanimals #wildlife #zoos #australia #planetearth

10.01.2022 From the first moment we bring home a new puppy or adopt a dog, were constantly distracted by having the need for our dogs to automatically fit in to our schedules and lifestyles. Oftentimes, we bombard our puppies and dogs with expectations such as my puppy needs to be able to do this now... or my dog shouldnt be doing that.... When we are in this mindset of do-ing, we miss out on simply be-ing in the present moment with our dogs... and reconnecting with them. In this video, Dr Lisa explains the importance of balancing do-ing with be-ing. #dogs #humanpotential #dogtraining #dogbehaviour #redcliffe #brisbane #australia #earth

10.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW?... The settling in phase can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on your dogs personality, their confidence level, their previous learning experiences, their previous environment, their genetics, as well as YOUR contribution in helping to provide a consistent, predictable and reliable environment and daily routine for your dog. In this video, Dr Lisa shares some surprises of settling in, highlighting some interesting video snippets of Morty as he adjusts to his new life with Dr Lisa and Marco.

08.01.2022 By doing these simple actions today you raise your #consciousness #dogs #humanpotential #moretonbay #brisbane #queensland #australia #planetearth

08.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW that making hard eye contact can be seen as threatening to dogs? Thats why teaching your dog to LOOK at you is a valuable skill. Yes, itll help your recall, but PLEASE REMEMBER that heel-work is mentally taxing from your dogs point of view because it takes a lot of concentration on their part - its also less enjoyable from your dogs point of view... WHY IS THIS SO?... Imagine youre going out on what you think is going to be an exciting shopping spree, bu...t youre only allowed to get a glimpse in the shop windows as you are continually hurried past each one. Thats why its crucial to... LET YOUR DOG BE A DOG... Let them stop and have a good sniff when youre out walking so they get the chance to catch up on all the neighbourhood social media and have a BENEFICIAL mental workout... rather than restricting your dog on a short leash and expecting them to have to continually walk or heel close to you.

07.01.2022 BEING ABLE TO DO THE THINGS YOU NEED as a human being as well as the things you enjoy doing e.g. scrolling through social media, socializing with friends, watching TV, getting a takeaway, watching a movie, reading a book, going for a walk in the sunshine, doing something new and interesting... IS NO DIFFERENT FOR ANY OTHER ANIMAL SPECIES. Every animal has instinctive behaviours they need to perform every day along with behaviours they enjoy doing.

06.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW that if just one person shifts their mindset and raises their consciousness they'll help other humans to do the same?' HINT: That one person... is YOU. https://www.youtube.com/watch

06.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? Millions of dogs across the world, of all breeds, only get to do UNproductive activities that promote repetitive behaviours... these are not only detrimental to your dogs neurochemical and physiological homeostasis, but they also influence the breakthrough of behaviour issues that can deteriorate into obsessive or compulsive behaviours. The most important instinctive behaviour that your dog needs to express every, single day is OLFACTORY FORAGING BEHAVIOUR... and its so easy to provide your dog with some "home-grown" olfactory goodies that will keep them mentally stimulated in a productive way. https://www.youtube.com/watch

06.01.2022 NO... your dog doesnt need to have physical exercise in the form of leash walking every single day, or for a certain period of time. Here is yet another situation where myths about dogs are perpetuated... and sadly, even mandated by a local government authority. The mandate also states... "prospective dog owners should be required to prove expertise on dog care and training before purchase." HAVING THE MINDSET of a GUARDIAN for your dog rather than an owner sets your... intention... to protect your dog from physical as well as psychological harm. A wonderful byproduct of this is that you also pass this courtesy on to other humans and their dogs. When every #dogbreeder, #dogtrainer, and #veterinarian raises their own consciousness and adopts the fundamental principles of GUARDIANSHIP in their own lives for their own dogs, we will automatically share these principles with other humans that have a dog in their life. Change the language and we change the experience for dogs and humans, not just locally, but globally as well. #dogs #humanpotential #guardianship #dogbehaviour https://www.npr.org//germanys-proposed-dog-walking-law-sti See more

05.01.2022 MYTH: My dog would never IF, after reading this polite and empathetic article explaining what not to do to your dog, you continue to put your dog in situations like this, then you ARE a bad parent. Raise your #consciousness Be a #dog #guardian, not an owner https://www.thefamilydog.com//5-ways-you-may-be-putting-/

04.01.2022 THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY... Do you know what your dog is REALLY trying to tell you? In everyday situations your dog performs calming signals to tell you that they arent feeling comfortable and that they need some space. Make the time and pay attention to the #conversation that your dog is trying to have with you. Raise your #consciousness. #dogs dont hug one another, let your dog be a #dog

04.01.2022 WHY DO WE AGREE that its OK to rehome a dog? Because, right now, there are millions of dogs across the world that are at home and alone all day every day with nothing to do, restricted to the same back yard all day every day with nothing to do, being treated as an afterthought every day and with no time invested by their humans to understand their dog as a species and provide them with a life worth living. This is not a criticism... it is the reality. Raise your #consciousness #dogs #humanpotential #redcliffe #brisbane #queensland #australia #planetearth

03.01.2022 MONDAY MOTIVATION... Here is a beautiful example of how easy it is to achieve as pleasant an experience as possible for our companion animals... #veterinarians #vetnurses #cooperation #positivereinforcement #companionanimals #brisbane #moretonbay #queensland #australia #theworld

03.01.2022 THAT MAKES #SCENTS... WHEN YOUR DOG GETS TO PERFORM #OLFACTORY #FORAGING #BEHAVIOUR during their #leashwalks, their pulse rate, and therefore their heart rate, LOWERS. There is also a correlation between the amount of time your dog gets the chance to have a sniff as well as the intensity of their sniffing... your dogs pulse rate lowers even further. When your dog sniffs, odour molecules are transmitted directly to the part of your dogs brain that relates to their #emotion and #instinct. The neuro-chemical and physiological effects of #sniffing is not just emotionally satisfying from your dogs point of view, it also provides your dog with the mental stimulation that they instinctively need every, single day. Raise your #consciousness let your #dog #sniff http://www.dogfieldstudy.com//pul/at-the-heart-of-the-walk

02.01.2022 IF YOUVE RECENTLY ADOPTED A DOG... There are a lot of changes occurring within your dogs emotional state during the transition phase. Be sure to take everything slowly so you will help your dog settle in to their new home... in their own time. Be a #dog #guardian, not a dog owner There is always a valid reason for your dogs behaviour.

01.01.2022 YOU STILL MAY NOT REALIZE THIS... Millions and millions of companion animals across the world endure suffering on a daily basis because their humans still do not comprehend that their animals are also living, breathing, pain and emotion feeling, sentient beings. Make time to understand your #companionanimal as a species in their own right. How many more #animal #species does there have to be #illustrations like this before #humans become #conscious? #animals #brisbane #moretonbay #queensland #australia #earth
