25.01.2022 Beautiful Rin come for a session to help with some reactivity to people. We had a really good session with progress. Rin is wearing a jacket that clearly says I need space, but it’s important to remember never to approach any dog without asking the owner first. Dogs when on lead can feel very vulnerable as their is no escape route for them, this can add to their fear. ... Unfortunately some people allow their dogs to race up and approach other dogs on lead. You should never allow your off lead to approach an onlead dog and you shouldn’t when out walking allow your on lead dog to just go up and greet dogs on lead unless you ask permission . It can be confronting for dogs to be rushed at on and off lead by another dog. Humans often outstretch their hand to a dog to sniff, this habit although widely practiced can also be confronting for a nervous dog and should not be done. Nervous dogs find sudden movement scary and an out stretched hand suddenly coming towards a nervous dog can be a target to be bitten. As humans if a stranger comes too close we automatically move away and if they invade our personal space bubble we feel uncomfortable but a dog on lead can’t move away but people constantly come in close and lean into a dogs face on lead and think that’s okay. Anxious dogs often display reactive behaviour to communicate that they are scared. Always ask before you pet a dog. Always ask before you allow your dog to approach another dog. Be respectful and responsible.

18.01.2022 This is a great read. Principles that I believe in and follow to help reactive dogs.

17.01.2022 Recall - Teaching your dog to come when called is a life skill and something that all dog owners should practice. Maui loves coming to Wendy in this video even when there is lots of wildlife and interesting smells

16.01.2022 Trish & Ziggy share an amazing bond built by trust, positive training and fun. Teaching your dog tricks can be fun for everyone. We plan to run a trick training class in February. Expressions of interest welcome.

14.01.2022 Don’t you hate it when your dogs barge through an open door or a gate. It really doesn’t have to be this way. We can help with this and other general training . ... This is my own dog Ned formally know as Naughty Pants Ned , NPN but maybe now known as GBD = good boy Ned.

14.01.2022 My own dogs this morning learning to take turns but when it comes to Doug’s turn he doesn’t want his turn to end Teaching dogs to wait calmly on a bed is difficult when other dogs are working . Takes impulse control. Breakfast this morning with a quick training session.

14.01.2022 Gorgeous Ruby another rescue who has landed on her feet with her new family. . This young lady was relaxed at her first session and just decided to make use of the dog couch while we had a chat. Ruby knows that training is all about training the human

13.01.2022 It’s great to teach dogs to sit calmly or lay calmly on a mat. Many greyhounds find sitting uncomfortable so for Scarpa a lay down is encouraged.

13.01.2022 Alfie a gorgeous boy who can display a little lead reactivity around other dogs. We had a fantastic session with Alfie using my Alfie. Our session worked on calm, lead walking, recall and how to work with Alfie’s reactivity and to counter condition his response . It was a great session .

12.01.2022 Agility lessons today at Leaps & Bounds with Clover Ward expertly guiding the owners and their dogs through different exercises to help with foundation skills for jumping . Relaxed dogs in their crates waiting for their turn. Fully fenced facilities. Private training area.

07.01.2022 Pup Gym Class - continuation of basic training and confidence building activities suitable for puppies. . Good girl Heidi.

07.01.2022 Doug (Ch. Peppagrove Shannons Delight(AI)) RN AD JDM GD SD gained his masters jumping title on the weekend in Hobart. Special thanks to Clover who handled him beautifully to gain his first place in masters jumping and his title. Many of my clients have met my flying fluff ball before . Thanks for the gorgeous pic Clover Ward and look how close he is to that bar. Clover is a great photographer too. Many of our clients are familiar with Clover who is currently taking our agility classes and is a super handler. I run too slow for Doug who is like a rocket but I enjoy training him and campaign him in all other events.

07.01.2022 Gorgeous Astra come to Leaps & Bounds today to work on building motivation in to her training. Astra’s mum Jessica hopes to do agility and other performance sports with her dog. They are already doing great with the basics. We keep training sessions short. We make it fun. We finish before the dog has lost interest, we want them to love next time and next session and want to play with us again. ... We use both food and toy rewards. We play games, we use game play to build value for us , motivation and self control. We work on building toy drive. Rewards can be anything your dog finds exciting and rewarding.

07.01.2022 Louis ans his human mum Jo are regulars at Leaps & Bounds and they love learning new things. Louis is a clever boy. Tricks are fun for humans and dogs and can help with building that relationship with dogs and their owners.

06.01.2022 Congratulations to Kelly who passed her Public Access Test with her gorgeous girl Scarpa today. This means that Scarpa can officially attend public places with Kelly. Scarpa has qualified as an assistance dog for Kelly through the mindDog organisation. ... To be able to pass her public access test Kelly and Scarpa have both worked very hard with their training at Leaps & Bounds .

06.01.2022 Smile and the whole world smiles . Meet Rosie who gets a tad excited and likes to jump and nip. Rosie also missed out on that critical socialisation and can be anxious around new and different things. Rosie has recently been adopted by a new family and pardon the pun but they wanted to nip some of her challenging behaviours in the bud. Rosie is a sweet girl and I’m sure she will learn fast.

05.01.2022 Archie, such a handsome boy . He had been a little reactive around other dogs and moving objects but we are seeing progress .

05.01.2022 Aster, breed unknown but my guess is a staffy x koolie . Definitely has the herding traits . Aster was adopted from a rescue organisation and is such a beautiful girl.
