24.01.2022 Lassie Come Home Cinema’s most famous dog returns in a modern re-telling of a classic story. Lassie and 12-year-old Florien are inseparable best friends, so it breaks both their hearts when Lassie is sent away after Florien’s father loses his job. While Lassie’s temporary minders, which includes 12-year-old Priscilla, mean well; Lassie is mistreated by an opportunist caretaker and escapes the first chance she gets. It is the start of an epic adventure across southern Germa...ny as Lassie makes her way back home while Florien and Priscilla set out to find her. Both human and canine characters face many challenges and obstacles, but the bond between a child and their dog is not one that can be severed easily. Eighty years after Lassie first captured hearts in English novelist Eric Mowbray Knight’s classic Lassie Come-Home, the iconic long-haired collie is ready to be discovered once more by a whole new generation.

08.01.2022 ' - ! We tend to concentrate on primary movers (big muscle groups of the ...rear legs and front legs), because we want a powerful and muscular dog, but often forget about this important link between front and rear - . The importance of the core is to . But when the core is weak, the body usually compensates by overloading other muscles (such as the , drawn in the picture bellow), easily leading to injuries. Interested to learn more about the core, iliopsoas muscle and core strengthening exercises? :) https://www.dogs4motion.com//534-the-dog-s-core-center-of- Welcome to share and educate!

03.01.2022 **COVID-19 UPDATE** Whilst the government have eased restrictions to the community as a whole, as an affiliate of Dogs Queensland we have been asked to develop a Return to Training plan.

02.01.2022 Curving (link below for article) is just one of the many subtle body language signals that dogs use to communicate, negotiate and problem solve. Dogs need to be... able to move their bodies freely to express themselves fully. Certain lengths of leash make it impossible for dogs to move with ease, or dip their heads down to sniff (which is frequently used as communication, depending on context). The dog should be allowed to sniff as she makes sense of the world through scent. When selecting equipment consider how much movement it restricts. Worse yet equipment that not only restricts but causes pain, to deliberately change behavior via an aversive. Aversives suppress behaviour, communication, erode trust and confidence. Communication through body language, along with behaviour is valuable information that helps resolve not just the surface symptoms but underlying causes. It should be listened to in order to find solutions and to be a supportive partner for your dog. So it is worth examining carefully what equipment is used and the other side of the leash - your skill level. What choices do you make for your dog? What support do you offer when leash handling? Both dog and guardian are in a constant process of learning and adjusting. A loose leash and length of leash allows the dog to problem solve, express natural behaviour, encourages the use of his communication skills and builds confidence. If your dog does not have the skills to make those choices, consider the environment and situation you expose him to, and find an environment that is better suited to allow for learning and confidence building.
