24.01.2022 If you have a dog in your family, or regularly interact or work with them, please make learning and understanding dog body language a priority. We think it’s an essential skill, too frequently overlooked and under prioritised. During our private consultations for dogs, we almost always suggest it in our action plan for the dog. Being able to identify dog body language can help deepen your relationship through support and understanding. It can also help to prevent bites. ANY d...og, of ANY age, of ANY size and ANY breed, can bite when overwhelmed, pushed over their threshold, startled, in pain, scared or even from a combination of those things. They can also bite when their stress signals have been unheard, ignored or punished. Make it a family affair if you have children, there are lots of great resources out there on dog body language; books, videos, posters and even apps. Here is an excellent short video on dog body language to get you started.

22.01.2022 An excellent tip for starting muzzle training if youre dog can be hand shy or worried about approaching you with the muzzle. We love muzzle training, its a valuable skill for all dogs to have. The The Muzzle Up Project has so many brilliant resources on this subject, from recommendations of kinds of muzzles to training the skill. Check it out!

21.01.2022 Its important we progress in this mindset as a society. Its perfectly normal for dogs to not want to be touched or petted by a stranger or someone that dont know very well. Its even ok to not want to interact with someone they do know. Its also ok to want to interact with someone and then change their mind and no longer want to. This is where learning dog body language comes in, it enables you to understand the early signs of the dog wanting space, to support them and th...eir needs, and keep everyone safe. There is a sweeping assumption that all dogs are designed to be social and should want to interact with anyone and everyone, and that there is something wrong with them if they dont. We dont have the same expectation from children, so why is it any different for the dogs (cats or any other animals) we care for. If Im out and about, I dont want unsolicited attention and to be touched by people I dont know either. That doesnt make me anti-social. Im sure more often than not, MOST dogs are not interested in attention and interactions with people they dont know. They are usually happy left to continue doing their own thing or being in the social space without being touched. Lets change how we think, and educate the future generations. Teach them that dogs are for admiring, not touching and they deserve space while they are out spending time with their family, just as they are. This will make for happier dogs and people.

20.01.2022 Is your dog sniffy and nosey? Looking for something different or fun to do? Perhaps they currently have activity restrictions due to medical concerns, like desexing, luxating patella, cruciate, sprains, recovering from surgery or heart issues? If your dog has medical clearance to spend just few minutes walking around at a time then nosework is perfect! Low impact and safe on body, whilst being enriching and energy burning. Places are limited, book now!

20.01.2022 DOG Copenhagen harnesses for all sized dogs, even the BIG floofs like @apollo.theberner. Restock arrived yesterday and will be hitting the webshop over the weekend.

19.01.2022 This is not dog related, but extremely important. Please be careful on social media today. We would hate for anyone to experience this distressing clip.

18.01.2022 Black FriYay Sale! 15% off select ranges and products for dogs and cats in our online store.

18.01.2022 Did you know you the Nina Ottosson food puzzle toys are not just for dry food or treats? Ash tested out the Tornado with his raw dinner. He spent 8 1/2 minutes trying to get all the food out! This from a hound who usually is done in a minute or maybe 3 with LickiMats etc. This toy also comes with two plastic bone pieces which covers two of the food chambers and locks the levels from spinning until they remove them. This increases the challenge, extending the mental stimulati...on and duration to complete it. Here is a snippet with increased speed. Try a different way of feeding with Tornado, grab yours from our webshop. Pick up from Tingalpa/Hemmant or post available. https://mindbodyandbowl.com.au/product/nina-ottoson-tornado/

17.01.2022 Available at Aldi from tomorrow! We bought one of these last year to test out as a remote feeder and for the price is a pretty good product. It does dispense more pieces than we’d like for our small dogs on its smallest serving setting, but that’s using smaller treats or kibble. Larger pieces may help to reduce that concern. Kmart also has one now available too which appears to be the exact same model but different branding, pic in comments. We’d love to hear feedback if anyone has bought the Kmart one!

13.01.2022 Sniffing is not just for sport! We LOVE the power of sniffing, its a natural dog behaviour and outlet they need. Sniffing and structured nosework activities can assist with emotional challenges and overall physical and emotional wellbeing.

11.01.2022 Hello Angus! Starting Monday right with this gorgeous boy and his family. He showed some beautiful manners today, but like all pups I visit, this kid needs more sleep. Its so easy to underestimate how much they need. At his age, 9 weeks, his limit is about 20 mins before becoming overtired. Without that essential sleep they can turn into agitated, unfocused, overaroused and extra bitey land sharks and their physical wellness can be impacted. #mindbodyandbowlau #wholepetwellness #canineenrichment #dogenrichment #brisbanedogtrainer #dogsofbrisbane #dogtrainingbrisbane #forcefreedogtraining #trainwithfunnotfear #relationshipbasedtraining #puppytraining #behaviouralwellness #essentialpuppyconsultation #boerboelsofinstagram #boerboelsofbrisbane #boerbelpuppy @ Manly West

10.01.2022 We love seeing your dogs in their new DOG Copenhagen Harnesses! Not only do they look great, but the Y front enables natural front leg and shoulder extension, minimising long term gait and movement issues. Thanks to Lilys mum sharing the gorgeous pics! What a backdrop too. #mindbodyandbowlau #wholepetwellness #canineenrichment #dogenrichment #brisbanedogtrainer #moderndogtraining #ladystartups #doglover #braingames #dogsofbrisbane #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #dogsofbrisbane #caninefitness #dogcopenhagen #dogharness #dogtraininggear

10.01.2022 Strive to be kind in training, use fun ways to encourage the desired behaviours, instead of focusing on what you dont want or only extinguishing the undesirable symptoms of an underlying issue.

09.01.2022 A lesson in being responsible and having your dog on leash. Particularly if your dog is NOT dog friendly. Not long before this smiley photo, Buddy was rushed at and attacked by an off leash dog. The dog completely ignored his owners instructions, stared, started creeping slowly and then ran at Buddy. Buddy was on a long leash, sniffing happily and literally didnt see the dog coming, as he had his back to him. The dog latched on, pinned him down and Buddy screamed until I co...uld get the dog off him. Thankfully he appears uninjured, covered in slobber and a heap of his own wee. The dog owner was responsible, he apologised repeatedly and waited while I checked Buddy as best I could. We tried to make best of the situation by going out into the park as we planned (because it was pretty quiet), having a sniffer walk, eating some yummy cheese, playing ball and finishing off with a couple of quick nosework searches to help decompress. We also stopped for some McBites to share with the other kids. So hopefully we turned the afternoon around into something more positive for us both. Seeing Buddys smiley face, despite being attacked not long beforehand, gives us hope he will be emotionally ok going forward. Unfortunately, Buddy can already be worried about some dogs, so an incident like this does not help. We may have extra work ahead of us now to build up his positive associations. Dog attacks are scary for everyone, dog professionals included. This could have been much much worse, it could have ended in tragedy. If it was Lulu with me instead, at her tiny size of 5kg, I hate to think about what might have happened. Please, please leash your dogs, particularly if they arent good with dogs. Another option is to muzzle them. Both are an ideal combination if you wish to get out and about in public spaces together. Allow your dog to enjoy movement and freedom while keeping things safe by having them on a long leash, so you can stop them from approaching other dogs. Some dogs will not be under reliable voice control, as seen today. The dog was unresponsive to its owner and still pursued us. #dogsafety #leashyourdog #muzzleupproject #muzzleyourdog #brisbanedogtrainer

06.01.2022 More exciting product news - West Paw Toppls will be back in stock in the coming week! We have been waiting for so long to have these available again. Toppls are brilliant food toys, similar to a Kong in that they are stuffable with raw, canned, dry or a mix of food types, with wide opening makes it easy to fill and teeth inside to make the food access a little more challenging. Add to the challenge by putting a small and large Toppl together. They also feature a side opening..., so when a small and large are joined, your dog can use them like a dispensing puzzle toy with small treats or dry food. Freezable, dishwasher safe and West Paw offer a first replacement guarantee. If your dog chews the toy and causes destruction or damage, it will be replaced free of charge. Please note, this only applies to first time replacement, subsequent claims will not be eligible. Pre-order yours now so you dont miss out! https://mindbodyandbowl.com.au/product/west-paw-toppl/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNU-NiigzUo

06.01.2022 Maths for something useful

Perfect to fill with peanut butter, cream cheese, canned food (we love Ziwipeak, K9 Natural or Meat Mates), natural yoghurt, dog ice cream and more! They are dishwasher and freezer safe, we recommend having a couple of filled ones in the freezer, ready at a moments notice when you need it. We are excited for the shipment to arrive soon and we are taking pre-orders. https://mindbodyandbowl.com.au/product/aquapaw-slow-treater/

05.01.2022 Weve recommended having small containers ready etc for treat parties for guests/family entering the home to help with jumping and redirection, but using a soap holder is an excellent idea (plus a dog in training sign).

04.01.2022 Black goes with everything, just ask Brew and Flyte, who have also perfected their snack faces. Their mum has chosen DOG Copenhagen Comfort Walk Air Harnesses for them to wear from puppyhood to ensure they are safe, but also enables natural shoulder and leg extension when walking and as they move. Not all harnesses are created equal, get your best friend in the best harness.... https://mindbodyandbowl.com.au//dog-copenhagen-comfort-wa/
