24.01.2022 Hi everyone. No Padfoot - Get Training episode tomorrow I'm afraid. Courtney and James are busy prepping for Week 3 of our Foundation and Advanced Level One courses. Get your questions in for next weeks' episode, and we'll do our best to answer them!

24.01.2022 Crate training a puppy is easy when you have a big enough crate, a movable divider and a big brother to keep you company! #dogtrainer #dogtrainersofinstagram #conservationk9 #conservationk9s #detectiondog #workingdog #workingdogsofinstagram #queensland #sunshinecoast #sunnycoast #padfoot #spanielsofinstagram

18.01.2022 The same applies to dogs.

18.01.2022 This TIME article is making the rounds in the dog circles & we wanted to share it forward too. What are your thoughts? We'd loved this quote especially, "Dogs a...re smart and can read... insecurity. It makes them question their faith in the handler and, in some cases, decide they know better. Raising a good sheepdog is about building trust between the dog and the handler, Caldicott says... What’s most important is confidence, both in the dog and the handler. In the old days, sheepdogs were taught left and right with physical coercion. Now, they’re given just enough guidance to figure out the right track by themselves. 'We’re trying to get an animal that thinks for itself. A good herding dog thinks he knows better than you. Your job is to teach him you’re worth listening to,' Caldicott says. 'The ones born thinking they’re the king of the universe, all you have to do is not take that away.' See more

14.01.2022 Bravery medal for British Military dog Kuno, who took out an Al Qaeda sniper in April last year allowing the SBS Special Boat Service to storm the enemy comp...ound. Kuno had already conducted over 16 operations over a five-month period before he was injured. Kuno was shot several times during the operation, received severe wounds to both hind legs and lost a paw. The citation for Kuno said his bravery in tackling the Al Qaeda sniper who was equipped with night vision equipment had allowed the SBS assault force to swiftly enter a courtyard after landing by helicopter as grenades detonated around them. They were then able to neutralise the insurgent before clearing the remainder of the building. It added: 'Pinned down by grenade and machine-gun fire from an insurgent, the assault force was unable to move without taking casualties. 'Without hesitation, Kuno charged through a hail of gunfire to tackle the gunman, breaking the deadlock and changing the course of the attack, allowing the mission to be completed successfully.' Keno received life-saving treatment in a helicopter after the night-time raid, but his left rear paw could not be saved. The brave dog required several operations before he could be flown home on an RAF plane for reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation, receiving in-flight care from a Royal Army Veterinary Corps team. Back in the UK he was transferred to the Defence Animal Training Regiment in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, where he underwent further extensive surgery. The surgery was overseen by Dick White, one of the world's leading specialists in canine surgery and special professor of small animal surgery at the University of Nottingham. Kuno then embarked upon a lengthy programme of rehabilitation to restore function to his nerves and muscles just as any other injured service personnel would. Within a few months he was strong enough to be fitted with his bespoke prosthetic. Kuno will be formally presented with his People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) Dickin medal by the veterinary charity in a virtual ceremony in November. The honour is the highest in existence for military animal valour and was introduced by PDSA's founder, Maria Dickin, in 1943. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: 'Without Kuno, the course of this operation could have been very different, and it's clear he saved the lives of British personnel that day. 'Kuno's story reminds us not only of the dedicated service of our soldiers and military dogs, but also the great care that the UK Armed Forces provide to the animals that serve alongside them.' Kuno has now become the first UK military working dog to be fitted with a lightweight prosthetic limb. Some 11,000 canines work in the Armed Forces doing everything from sniffing out drugs to attacking enemy combatants just as Kuno did.
