25.01.2022 I’m not sure why but it certainly happens. I actually find it very amusing but some puppy owners seem to find it distressing.

23.01.2022 PPGAUSTRALIA IS RUNNING A WEBINAR THAT WILL INTEREST THE OWNERS OF OLDER DOGS. Pet Quality of Life - their final years Presented by Nikki Catley... Join us for our next live webinar on 21 October 7 pm on this important topic. You can book here https://www.ppgaustralia.net.au/event-3990564 Pet loss and the grief it brings is so very real but it is often not discussed or supported enough and can sometimes even be dismissed or not taken seriously. Yet those with pets, or those that have lost cherished pets certainly know differently. As pet parents, understanding about our companions quality of life is so important. This webinar will help you look at your pet’s quality of life as they near the end of their life dance. It will help you to prepare and to recognise the stages of grief and cover the things that we often dismiss as a society. Understanding more about Quality of Life allows us to have a small amount of control in what otherwise feels like a helpless situation. We all know that no time is going to feel good about saying goodbye but a well planned and written last chapter is certainly very helpful with the healing process. When we experience human loss we are devastated at their passing and then we grieve and make arrangements such a funeral with usually a wealth of support around us, but often with the passing of our pets, who we love just as dearly and deeply, and often for a very long time, we are just expected to get back on with life. Nikki believes we should honor and celebrate their lives and most importantly recognise the grief that surrounds their passing. The Presenter Nikki has worked in the veterinary industry for almost 25 years. She has been a qualified counsellor now for 15 years but it was about 10 years ago when she lost her beloved pet that she felt incredibly alone in her grief and she realised she needed to promote the support and guidance she now offers to those feeling consumed by their grief. She now helps many veterinary clinics in supporting their clients when they are looking at putting their pets to peace or helping them with their post loss grief. Pet loss and the grief it brings is real but is really not discussed or supported enough and l make it my mission to be there for anyone who needs me.

20.01.2022 An old one but a good one.

18.01.2022 We are coming into a great time of year! My favorite is fall. The change of leaves and cooler temperatures just speaks to the beauty in transitions. Fall and th...e start of winter bring on holidays and celebrations. Families visit and friends come together around food, drinks and merriment. Unfortunately, your dogs aren’t able to partake in all the festivities or share in the decadence of this time of year. Knowing what your dog is not able to have is your first step. Some foods can wreak havoc on your dog’s metabolic systems even causing death. There are many foods which are so delicious for you to eat, but are toxic to your dogs. For one, chocolate is a huge NO-NO! This time of year is fraught with so many opportunities for snack sized candy bars and chocolaty desserts being left out and within the reach of your dogs. Another stand out is Xylitol. This is found in most sugar free foods (like some peanut butter) and can be poisonous to your dogs. Make sure and read your labels, dog proof your desserts and snacks and ask your guests no sharing with your dogs. In our house, Eddie makes rum cakes, lebekuchen and I make chocolate rum balls (see a theme ) for the holidays. We remain quite vigilant in where we store these foods as they are cooling before we package them for family and friends. If your guests are young children, its best to keep your dog and visiting children separated. Not only will this maintain your dog safe from dangerous foods, but it will also keep both children and dogs safe from potential hazards of miscommunication.

17.01.2022 Keep a lookout folks.

17.01.2022 This is why I have a dog. How about you?

16.01.2022 KINDERGARTEN DOESN'T END CHILDREN'S EDUCATION PUPPY SCHOOL SHOULDN'T END IT FOR YOUR DOGS. Puppies learn so much in their early years as the Puppy Zoom Home School participants will know. It is so important to keep up the training you started. Lovely to hear that Bella is doing some further training and I have had some puppy people call me to continue training. AS SOON AS I CAN GET THE PLAY AND LEARN CLASSES GOING I WILL POST IT HERE.

15.01.2022 Buy locally made nutritious treats or make some dog biscuits yourself.

14.01.2022 A good safety message

13.01.2022 A good fundraiser.

13.01.2022 Advocating for your dog may include: Saying no to requests to pet your dog. Asking people to keep their distance. Saying no to on leash greetings. Asking peopl...e to call their dog. Evaluate what your dog enjoys, what makes them anxious, and what they do not like. Then help your dog have more of the enjoyable experiences while preventing unwanted encounters. Part of preventing unwanted encounters is evaluating if the places you currently take your dog are appropriate for them. Dogs that are afraid of people should not be taken into crowded locations. Dogs that are afraid of dogs should not go to dog parks unless the dog park is reliably empty and you have good enough visibility of the surrounding area to leave before another dog enters. See more

13.01.2022 On this Thanksgiving Day in the US it made me think about the things I am thankful for. Thanks to my incredible family and friends,for all the support, in person and virtual, that they have given me. Thanks for the Victorians who have followed the science to get us to 28 days virus free. Thanks to the Force Free dog trainer world who also follow the current science, for all they have done and continue to do, to change the thinking world wide about training animals with et...hics. Thanks to my clients. Many of who have become friends for keeping in touch long after I helped them train their dogs. Thanks to all the animals who have done so much in all their different working roles to help the humans. Of course thanks to my sweet dog Shanta, who kept me sane during the lockdown. See more

10.01.2022 Which position does your dog mostly sleep in? I would say Shanta is usually in the Bagel.

10.01.2022 Make all your training fun.

10.01.2022 The problem a lot of people have with ‘Stay’ as a cue, is they often use it to practise recall as well, so they get the dog to 'stay', and then call their dog t...o them. However, dogs tend to learn to a series of cues, and in order to efficiently earn their reward, they often predict what the next one will be. This is why lots of dogs seem to forget 'sit' and start going straight to the 'down' position, as 'sit' has been used as a stepping-stone to teach 'down', and they have only been rewarded on the 'down' for many repetitions. So similarly, if a dog is called after a 'stay' and are rewarded when they successfully get back to their owner, they will see that as the 'end-goal' of the cue; as such they will be more likely to break the 'stay' to get to their final-goal and earn their reward. In our classes we teach 'Stay' and 'Wait' as two separate cues; this is because we want one cue - ‘Stay’ - to be sacred. So with ‘Stay’, you ALWAYS go back to the dog to reward them, whereas with ‘Wait’ you can call the dog to you. This creates two versions of the cue: where ‘Stay’ always means ‘Stay’, until you go back to them, and 'Wait' means 'Wait' until my next instruction!

09.01.2022 If you are going to be returning to work when the lockdown eases you might find this helpful.

08.01.2022 Yes thank you. You are great at getting the treats ready for my Puppy classes and making up the client’ gift bags. You are also wonderful the way you treat my dog.

08.01.2022 Sorry. Too cute not to post.

03.01.2022 Here's a concise chart on puppy potty stages. It is a general rule that puppies can be expected to be able to contain themselves for as many hours as is their a...ge in months, plus 1. For example, a 3 month old puppy could 'hold it in' for four hours; a 5 month old puppy could be expected to contain herself for six hours, etc. (bear in mind that this is a generalization, and that all dogs are individuals & progress at different rates).

02.01.2022 I hope you are having a great weekend.

01.01.2022 Thanks to The Collared Scholar for the post. The skill of relaxing that we start in Puppy classes on the mat, needs to be further practised in different low distraction areas and then built up to practising in higher distraction areas.
