25.01.2022 Theres nothing quite like a beautiful old grey muzzle Murphy is a great role model for his new little brother, Bailey. He had a great time during our training session, proving you definitely can teach an old dog new tricks. #dog #olddog #lab #labsofinstagram #training #dogtraining #dogtrainer #bigbrother #greyisthenewblack #learning

23.01.2022 Just some of the many faces of gorgy Georgie We were a bit smitten with this lovely girl. Shes pretty much the full package ... clever, cuddly and an absolute clown. Sadly she has been the victim of some off leash dogs who have shattered her confidence. She did some great work today and we are sure she will be back on track very soon. #dog #staffy #amstaff #staffycross #gooddog #staffylove

22.01.2022 There seems to be a bit of a theme in this family - We totally understand ... gingers are ace! Ruby is a great little dog whose obedience and manners are spot on. With a bit of work on her recall under distraction, her new feline brother, Whiskey, will be strutting his stuff without a care in the world. Hes a great little cat who is supremely confident and they are going to make a great pair. #gingersrule #gingercat #spoodle #spoodlesofinstagram #orangetabby #orangecatsofinstagram #orangecatsarethebest #friends #dogtrainingadvice #dogtraining #catadvice #cattraining #dog #cat

22.01.2022 Duke is a big gentle giant Hes a lover, not a fighter so just wants to enjoy life with his lovely family and not have to worry about complicated canine dynamics. With new guidelines in place, his dream may just come true #americanbulldog #americanbully #americanbullies #dog #dogtrainer #dogtraining

22.01.2022 Absolutely spot on ... such a well written piece. This is also true for rescues of all breeds whose previous lives provided no socialisation and were limited to a backyard.

22.01.2022 Its so wonderful to see our client puppies growing up. I worked on some loose lead walking with Loki today and hes just as lovely as he was when we first met him. What a delight #growinguptoofast #handsome #mixbreed #mixbreedsofinstagram #mixbreeddog #dogtraining #dogtrainer #gooddog

22.01.2022 Sancho the Min Pin was told he could be whatever he wanted to he ... hes decided he wants to be a kangaroo. #minipinscher #minipin #minpin #dog #dogsofinstagram #minipinschers

20.01.2022 It’s not just the dogs who love our snufflemats #cat #catsofinstagram #enrichment #dogtraining #dogtrainer

20.01.2022 Further to conversations recently with all our puppy owners - have a look at this x-ray of a pups bone structure. This is why over exercise is not recommended for young pups.

19.01.2022 Eleven year old Ben found himself in a shelter hoping to find a forever home ... and he did!! In fact, he found two!! Ben is shared between two homes and its the perfect existence for this sociable little chap. He has settled in beautifully and has everything in place to help his foibles and teach him not to use his outside shouty voice when indoors He may be small but he has a great big personality that makes him all the more adorable #maltese #malteseofinstagram #shihtzu #shihtzusofinstagram #shihtzulovers #fluffydog #dogtraining #dogtrainers

18.01.2022 Sir Donnie Bradman - We are fairly sure that he is going to enjoy all the enrichment feeding that has been introduced into his home. His efforts with the Lickimat were admirable - he persevered until there wasnt a skerrick left. #cat #tabbycat #tabbycatsofinstagram #tabby #tabbyandwhite #enrichment #enrichmentforcats #training #cattraining

16.01.2022 Something to give you a giggle on this rather dull day

16.01.2022 Hope everyone is doing ok during lockdown. Remember we are always available for a chat if youre having any issues with your puds and pups #lockdown #catsanddogsofinstagram #cat #dog #training #dogtraining #dogtrainer #cattraining

16.01.2022 Would you say that your dog is sociable?

15.01.2022 Today we met one of the coolest cats ever This is Aston Martin ... hes part cat burglar, part panther and part dog . Theres nothing that he cant do ... he breaks into anything he wants and breaks out of the house - theres nothing that stops this handsome fella! From now on he will be using his intelligence for good instead of evil ... from now on he will be working for his meals to satisfy his hunting instincts ... hopefully that will make the human food safe #cat #catsofinstagram #greycat #greycats #greycatsofinstagram #enrichment #enrichmentfeeding #felineenrichment #housepanther

14.01.2022 We love seeing working cats ... this one is a cracker

13.01.2022 I didn’t know this ... thanks Farmdogz Rescue

13.01.2022 Adolescent dogs sometimes decide to test their boundaries. Montys Mum is now equipped with all the necessary knowledge to nip it in the bud. In every other aspect, this lovely dog is spot on. We are so very proud of how far they have come #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #mixbreed #mixbreeddog #training #dogtraining #houndsofinstagram #houndmix

12.01.2022 This is Bailey ... today he showed his family what a very good boy he can be. Its so important to put boundaries in place when introducing a new puppy into your household. So often people forget to reward the calm behaviour and end up with a dog with no off switch. We saw lots of lovely behaviour today from this little fella - hes an absolute gem. #lab#labsofinstagram #labradorretriever #labrador #labradorsofinstagram #labpuppy #dog #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer

11.01.2022 Some dogs are great at entertaining themselves

10.01.2022 It may have been a bit chilly and a tad rainy but you cant get much better than this ... a consultation with a fantastic dog, a glimpse of coastline and a rainbow. You can hardly call this work!!

10.01.2022 Koda Rae Daughter of Nala and sister of Loki. Another smart little pup who has ended up with a fantastic family who are prepared to put in the effort to ensure she is able to be the very best dog she can be. #kickinggoals #dog #clevergirl #dogtraining #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtrainer #staffylove #staffypuppy #puppylove

10.01.2022 Today we spent time with this sweet girl Beans people have done an amazing job with her so far. She already has everything in place to take the next step which is going to see her embracing the big wide world with a new found confidence. #staffylove #staffycross #rescuestaffy #clevergirl #dogtraining #dog #dogsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavoritebreed

10.01.2022 Here's how to help a scared dog. By the time a dog looks obviously scared, her body is flooded with adrenaline. Her digestive, system and immune system is shut ...off. If a dog is truly worried by humans and the experiences in her life so far, the poor animal could have this reaction when you do something as simple as making eye contact. Humans offer eye contact for reassurance. A scared dog sees eye contact from a human as confrontation. This is different to bonded eye contact. When we know a dog well we get the look of love. When we don’t and they are scared by past experience, they can only assume that a direct stare is a prelude to attack. Don’t look directly in the eyes of a dog you don’t know, ever, it’s extremely bad manners in dog language and will undoubtedly make even the most well-balanced dog uncomfortable. It’s tempting to keep fiddling with a scared dog, don’t do that, she doesn’t need you to actively try to make friends with her she needs you to be there if she approaches you, be respectful of her space and never put her into any situation that makes her stress levels rise this includes encroaching on her personal space, which she is entitled to, as we all are. With scared dogs the very best thing to do is let them take as much space as they need and only offer reassurance when they ask for it. Physically and emotionally leave the dog alone and let her come to you in her own time. Until she does just let her tag along with your everyday life in the background. Complete lack of pressure is the quickest way to build confidence in a worried dog. But what about if: I’m trying to make friends with her but the dog seems to have so many problems. Actively trying to make friends is likely to be the most stressful thing for a scared dog to cope with. If we are always looking at her, trying to touch her, offering attention (bearing in mind we are a big scary stranger at this point) this dog is going to be very worried indeed. Her stress levels are never going down, leaving her far more reactive that she would be if we just stepped back and gave her some relaxing space. Stress stacking means that we add one scary situation atop another until the dog is so anxious that reactive behaviour occurs. With stress stacking there is no downtime, no chance for stress hormone reversal and survival instinct takes over. It is often this point when people say It just came out of nowhere or the dog bit without warning. In addition, please don’t walk or groom a really scared dog at this point if you can help it. The idea is to remove as many stress triggers as possible and encourage relaxation and if you’re touching an animal or taking her out into the scary world then this will have the exact opposite effect. To make life easier for both you as quickly as possible you need to first alleviate the stress levels of the dog. This means: Leave her alone. Give her a safe place and allow her to go to it. Don’t allow other people to approach or even interact with the dog. Offer gentle reassurance in her language. For instance, avoid eye contact, stay low, quiet and move slowly around the home. Observe her carefully and when she starts to show signs of feeling more confident offer gentle encouragement, but don’t overwhelm her. Don’t force anything, not grooming, walking, food, the quicker you remove compulsion the quicker the scared dog will learn to trust. Sally @canineprinciples.com

09.01.2022 This is an important read for all cat owners.

07.01.2022 This is great ... Puppy toilet training made easy

07.01.2022 This smiling face was the end result of our training session with George yesterday. The second photo shows how stressed he was when we got there. George is finding life a bit challenging since losing his female canine companion. She kept everything calm and civil between him and his American bulldog buddy. The dynamics have changed now so his family have sought some help #bulldogsofinstagram #dog #bulldog #bulldoglife #bulldogs #dogtraining #dogtrainer #happydog

07.01.2022 Yesterday we met this little poppet. Zayka may look like an angel but she has been running amok at home as well as out and about. What we found under all her pushy and unruly behaviour is a very sweet, focussed and clever little girl. She is now going to use her brain for good instead of evil . Shes an absolute sweetie. #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #cavaliersofinstagram #kingcharlesspaniel #kingcharlescavalierspaniel #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dog

06.01.2022 Big beautiful Buddy This lucky boy has only just been adopted from a shelter and his new family want the transition into his new home to be as smooth as possible. He is still gaining his confidence in the big wide world but his people are now armed with the knowledge to offer him the help he needs. #shelterdog #dog #dogsofinstagram #adopted #adopteddog #adoptdontshop #dogtraining #dogtrainer #mixedbreed #bigdog

05.01.2022 Just to make you smile on this cold, rainy evening. How great are these little critters?

05.01.2022 The nose knows ...

05.01.2022 Really missing all the doggies during these isolated times ... cant wait until its over #dog #dogsofinstagram #lonely #missingyou #dogtraining #dogtrainer

04.01.2022 It takes time for newly adopted feline companions to settle into their new home. Every cat and kitten is an individual so let them integrate at their own rate #newcat #newhome

03.01.2022 Goose was our added bonus today. He is Beans feline brother who actually came from @heartandsoulrescue - a cat rescue group Im affiliated with. Ive known him since he came into rescue and I cant believe how great hes looking. It never ceases to amaze me how these street cats flourish when they are in a loving environment. He actually got into the trappers car himself so that he could come into rescue with the cats that had been trapped. Hes an amazing cat ... and hes got an amazing home #cat #catsofinstagram #gingerninja #gingercat #gingercatsofinstagram #orangeisthenewblack #orangecatsofinstagram #orangecats

03.01.2022 How many of these do you do with your dog? I have to admit our Jess gets all of them ....

02.01.2022 Have you asked your dog if he/she really enjoys the dog park?

02.01.2022 This is why you shouldnt give your dogs rawhide chews

02.01.2022 Wow... I never knew..

01.01.2022 Every now and then we get a photo that just has to be shared. Just look at this magnificent beast ... King Ralph is even too grand for the Chesterfield #dog #staghound #staghoundsofinstagram #happydog #borntorule

01.01.2022 WARNING TO ALL DOG OWNERS WHO WALK IN WARRANDYTE

01.01.2022 Meg the social butterfly This friendly girl is a foster fail who has definitely fallen on all four paws with her new home and family. She is being trained to have a good recall so that she can enjoy the outdoors as well as having everything in place inside her home to satisfy her natural instincts. Its so encouraging to see responsible cat ownership. Meg is going to have the best life ever #cat #tabbycat #tabbycatsofinstagram #sheltercat #adopted #adoptedcat #cattraining
