25.01.2022 If you ever needed a visual to see why nail maintenance was important, here it is...

24.01.2022 Now I've seen everything

24.01.2022 Hearing of lily poising a cat that from the quick thinking of the owner lived. I thought I'd remind everyone about poisonous garden plants.

23.01.2022 Always research the breed of dog so you can decide if its the right breed for you. Taken from a post from a groomer.... Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. On...Continue reading

21.01.2022 We should allow our dogs to be dogs.....

21.01.2022 Today I went Woolies to buy........ a bag of food (no not toilet paper) for my dog. Already in line, a woman behind me asked me if I had a dog. I stare at her (those who know me will imagine my gaze ) ... But then why would I be buying dog food, right? So on impulse I told her no, that I don't have a dog, that I was starting the dog food diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital the last time, but with 15 kg less! I told her that it... was the perfect diet and that all you had to do is carry the kibbles in your pockets and eat one or two every time you feel hungry (I have to mention by this time practically everyone in line was straining their necks to hear my story). Frightened, the woman asks me if I ended up in the hospital because the dog food had poisoned me. I answer, of course not! I was admitted because I bent down to smell the butt of a bulldog and I was hit by a truck !!!!!!!!!! I thought the man behind her was going to have a heart attack because of laughing too hard! Now that you read this, I have to confess, I copied this from a friends page. Have A great rest of your week all . See more

20.01.2022 Copied from another trainer...this is so very right!

19.01.2022 I have seen this happen...the dog died.

17.01.2022 Dog's need stimulation, this probably isn't the best idea though...

15.01.2022 A dog went missing last night and the owner was advised to put an item of clothing down at the area it became lost (for the scent). Lots of people searched for the dog but to no avail. Then, first light this morning, the dog was found sitting on the owners coat that had been left. Thought this could be usual advice and maybe worth sharing.

11.01.2022 For any other families who are collecting and growing their own little goodies from Woolworths’ newest Discovery Garden promotion!! Here are some little notes on which are best to steer clear of, or to simply plant out of reach of your furbabies Happy (& safe!!!) growing

09.01.2022 Absolutely know your dog....

08.01.2022 Ever wonder where the term dog tired came from?!?!?

07.01.2022 It's not funny, usually just the start of problems to come.

07.01.2022 He couldn't if he wasn't trained.....

07.01.2022 Use your Manners! The Sniff test - Stop doing that! The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing. When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some do...gs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions. If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed. People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you. Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction. If you are meeting a dog, what should you do? Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again. Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side. Ignore the dog & talk to the owner. Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats. This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.

05.01.2022 Supervise dogs and children always....

05.01.2022 If you are working with a dog with any sort of complex behaviour issues And you are trying to get them exposure and socialization I feel for you. ... I really do. Because navigating this world where people feel entitled to pet your dog, even though your dog is terrified Where they feel they have the right to let their dog greet yours when it clearly makes your dog uncomfortable Where they keep coming, even when you ask them to stay away It’s not easy. When did No, thank you become an invitation? When did we have to start adding do not pet patches to scare folks off because they refuse to listen to our requests? When did people become so disrespectful that they WILL NOT hear no? It speaks volumes to the current state of things. There’s a lot to reflect on there. Truth is Dogs deserve more respect. And so do humans. This is not a petting zoo. We are not here for the entertainment of strangers. (If someone asks you not to touch their dog, or not to approach with your dog to say hello, please respect their wishes.)

04.01.2022 ANYONE in this area beware

01.01.2022 Photo of the day.....
