25.01.2022 This! This is why I do it

25.01.2022 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

24.01.2022 At present, Jerry isn’t able to have raw bones for dinner, so we have been improvising! Tonight, while the others had their bones, we tried a licky bowl full of yummy goodness It’s pretty safe to say that it was a big hit! 20 minutes later and he was still going Definitely on our list of dinner ideas!

24.01.2022 Then we work on the back paddock

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

18.01.2022 This weekend is going to be a hot one! Please make sure your pets stay cool and safe These guys figured a swim at the dam was the best place to have fun today

15.01.2022 Had another great training day on Wednesday We have been doing some work in public with Harvey... getting him used to being calm in busy cafes around food, people and other dogs. Plus navigating busy streets! He’s doing so well Miss Bear has been working on her skills around mums wheelchair and we have started to introduce a platform for her at the front. This is going to help keep her close when going through tight doorways and on busy sidewalks! She has taken to th...e idea super well Great work everyone

15.01.2022 Working on building value in the crate

13.01.2022 Through continued training around his crate, Jerry has now started taking himself in there regularly, including to settle and sleep of an evening Feeling very pleased with the progress we are making

13.01.2022 I often get asked about socialising young puppies. My saying is quality not quantity. This is a really good post to read on the subject!

13.01.2022 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 Happy Father’s Day to all those amazing dads out there!!!

12.01.2022 I hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful Father’s Day with their families today I was lucky enough to have my parents over for lunch and a catch up We don’t get visitors often, so it was a great opportunity for the gang to practice being calm and remaining on their boundaries. I was super proud of them (they are always excited to have people over!!!) Most of all,, I was so thrilled with Jerry’s behaviour He was fantastic in his crate and even managed to fall asleep ...It has only been a week since his diagnosis and introduction of medication, but we are already seeing progress To see him relaxed like this simply warms my heart This is the result of hard work, consistency and training. Multiple dogs behaving well around food and visitors!!! Mum isn’t much of a dog person, but was amazed at how good the dogs were today. It’s nice to be able to have the dogs involved with the family instead of being locked away. I always say that, with your training, you get out what you put in... and hard work definitely pays off!!! Love my family Love my dogs p.s. you know you’re dogs are being good, when your parents are having to coax them over to interact

11.01.2022 My page has been a little quiet of late and so I figured it was time to share with you all what I have been doing. Since finishing my Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services, I decided to take a step back and reevaluate where I would like to take my training. My goal was always to offer training and support to people who wanted assistance and therapy dogs to enhance their lives. Im excited to announce I have recently partnered with Karina & Co, a Ballina based disability... consultancy. My services are available through emailing [email protected]. I am currently booked up but your welcome to wait list. I am enjoying every minute in my new role and am excited about the future with this amazing company. Thank you all for following my journey. I truly am excited for the future - keep watching here as we add group classes and online training tips!
