20.01.2022 Fantastic news!!!

19.01.2022 It’s going to be a hot one this weekend! Please make sure your pets stay cool Provide plenty of shade and water and bring pets inside into air conditioning if you can. Also, be mindful or our wildlife and leave our water for them as well Stay safe

12.01.2022 PUPPY RAISING SPACES The way you set up your home to accomodate for a new puppy in the first few months will go a long way in helping develop good long ter...m habits such as the following: INDEPENDENCE BUILDING. The biggest issue facing adult dogs in society is related to separation anxiety or distress. ‘Puppy only’ spaces are a great way to build your pup’s independence in the early days which will pave the way for when the time comes for them to stay at home by themselves. If you are not actively training, supervising or playing with your puppy, the best thing you can do is pop them in a contained area, close by, like this. This way they can’t practise following you around and in turn start to slowly develop the skills necessary to be okay on their own. Even if it begins with just being a metre away. CHEWING, NIPPING & BITING. Roughly around 10 weeks of age, a puppy will develop a new found confidence with their surroundings and following this, begin teething. Utilise this space and provide them with safe, puppy friendly enrichment to chew on and explore so they don’t practise deconstructing lounges, pot plants and clothing! TOILET TRAINING. Generally, a puppy that is contained to a smaller space during down time, is more likely to hold on to their bladder for a longer period. It also prevents them from wandering over absorbent surfaces like rugs and carpets which is usually the type of surface a puppy will gravitate to, to do their business. JUMPING. If a puppy is in a space like this, family members and visitors can enter the room without a puppy running over to them, jumping on them and inadvertently being reinforced for it. You can then pick the right moments to let the puppy out, when you have full focus on teaching them to ‘Sit’ for cuddles and affection. KIDS It’s a no brainer when it comes to kids and a puppy! A set up like this will give the puppy time away from the chaos to rest and reboot and when the puppy hits the teething phase, this place will allow kids to move around their loungeroom freely without the fear of being pounced on by the fluffy ankle biter. DOORBELL REACTIVITY Lots of adult dogs bark when there’s a knock on the front door or the doorbell rings. This can be learnt from being a puppy and having access the front door and learning of all the fabulous excitement and social greetings that follow a knock. Its simple: After experiencing a handful of times what follows the knock or bell (PEOPLE!), he may bark out of excitement and run to the door, person enters and gives puppy a pat. Voila. Puppy has learnt that barking at the front door when it rings or there’s a knock results in attention. By putting your puppy in a contained space and preventing them from receiving any direct attention related to someone arriving at the house, you may very well prevent a long term door bell barker! Who said puppy pens had to look ugly either?!! This pen set up is smart, unobtrusive and fits well in the space. This right here is the perfect indoor set up as far as we’re concerned. Early preparation and management is key in preventing any long term issues. - @dollythegroodle

12.01.2022 Once we have taught a behaviour, we continue to increase the criteria over time. Proofing that behaviour in every situation we can. To do this, we use the 3 D’s of training... Distance ... Duration Distraction We then also start to teach our dogs to generalise the behaviour, by working on it in different environments. Example: sit in my lounge room is the same as sit on a busy footpath! We have started doing more work in and around town with Harvey, incorporating all of the above Here is a short clip of me working on his down stay in a new environment. What you can’t see is that as I leave him and walk away, I am actually heading towards the exit! That’s next level control Remember: start slowly and increase criteria as your dog understands what you are wanting don’t put everything together at once- that is, when you go to a new environment, bring your distance and duration back and work it up always look for signs of stress in your dog. If they seem uncomfortable, move your training to where they are relaxed enough to learn Most importantly... HAVE FUN
