23.01.2022 *** UPDATE - absolutely amazing response. Thanks so much everyone. We have found a temporary home with Rae-Leigh *** *** FOSTER CARER WANTED *** All costs will be covered. I’m good with kids but need a place with no other dogs (I stress about dogs ever since I got attacked).... I’m up to date with my healthcare. If you can help with a temporary home, please message the page. Not sure how long this will be needed. * located near Campbelltown * See more

21.01.2022 You really really don't want this to happen and neither do we! Treating humans is gross #stayhome

19.01.2022 Something we hear clients say ALL the time is how much their dog LOVES sleeping by the front door, front window, back gate or the balcony. This is not something... your dog loves doing. It is something it feels like it HAS to do to feel safe and secure. It’s a human world and they simply do not understand why or that is safe with people, other dogs cats, cars and traffic constantly being so close to their territory and so they remain vigilant and on watch for it. They don’t understand footpaths (a man made concept) and that the people were going to walk past anyway. They understand cause and effect. That when they went to the window... the person (or dog/cat whatever) moved on. It’s a self rewarding behaviour, each time they check, go and have a look or stare out... they remain alive and so will repeat. Each time they bark and the person walks on they learn to bark to stay alive. Until it becomes compulsion and they HAVE to do it. After a while the relentlessness of it will get to them. They will become hyper vigilant where their nervous centre never switches off which then turns into sleep deprivation which then alters their mood and personality. They can become cranky, anti social and bark more. The affects are seen long after the dog walks away from the window. If it was a family member doing that behaviour... curtain twitching at the neighbours and shouting at everyone that went past. Then you’d be concerned for them and know how detrimental constant worry and aggressive shouting is on their health. So please don’t normalise this behaviour and trick yourself into believing it’s something they LOVE doing. If you cannot manage the environment and block off access then take the time to create positive associations. When the dog gets agitated, call them away and teach them to settle and relax. When the dogs ears prick up, reassure them with calming praise. You don’t need to make it exciting, but calm and positive will help the dog learn that not every passer by is a threat through association.
