I had a session today with a glorious young lady and her powder puff angel of a dog.This young lad has an issue with young children... or maybe a particular child.Not because he is being naughty... But the possibility of him seeing this particular child matched to something that may have spooked him.He is also loved a little bit too much without the structure he needs. He is incredibly smart, but super sensitive 😍His owners are phenomenal people 💗Now... We go back to absolute basics here and reteach him about thinking. Reteach him about listening. Reteach him about compliance. Reteach him about finding his centre.He is a very cute boy... A white, fluffy snowball of a boy. Bit of a marshmallow 💕This is the problem though... He forgot about the person at the end of the lead because everyone wants a piece of him...Now you are looking at my dogs 💕 in all their gloriousness... And I know you are thinking 'aaawwww'... You would swoon if you saw Benson 💗. I still do each time I see the little fluff ball 💗Structure and guidelines are what our dogs need. They take comfort in it. They thrive with the guidance. Don't dominate your dog. Guide and coach.I got a message from Benson's owner this afternoon saying they had the best walk this afternoon they have ever had. Just some minor tweaks and we are on the right path 💕Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd#blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #chihuahua #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Nothing like having a Chai Latte while mooching around with the darling husband, Kubo and Piper 💕Piper got chased by a rude Weimaraner puppy while we were out 🙄Called her to middle and fended off the puppy, who proceeded to jump all over me.The owner thought it was funny while calling said pup, who completely ignored him... 🙄Now the puppy is learning how to be rude and not listen...

Here's the thing...If you take your dog out to an off lead area - they MUST be under effective control.They MUST recall back to handler immediately.They MUST play nicely, not be a bully.They MUST be under effective verbal control.It is ok to bring your dog into a park during quiet times to do training with them on a lead. I would not advise it during very busy times though as it can be manic.Today there were two incidents - one a very young pup that was chasing every dog, jumping all over every dog and had no recall at all.A stranger had to grab the pup so the owner could leash him up and take him out 😳🙄The owner should have had him on a leash while walking around. Their excuse was probably that it was a young, energetic pup that needed to burn energy, but in reality, this pup was learning to be a bully.Second incident was an older chap who bought his two working breeds into the park, went and stood in the middle of the park and watched them both herd, bowl over and bully a young little Doodle.He did nothing 🤬 to help the lady, who was becoming stressed, to call off his dogs.I'm lucky in that I have fostered ambivalence with both Kubo and Piper. Kubo doesn't give a hoot about many dogs, while Piper is now a champion at reading the room.It is a very common mistake that is made by giving an adolescent dog far too much freedom. They practise rude behaviour and think it is normal.Take the time and use long lines. I prefer a 5 metre lead so I can ensure the dog at the end of it does not make the wrong choice.I do utilise off lead dog parks, but I am lucky because I can go in quiet times.Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpie #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Both the darling husband and I were starting to get a tad sick of being wet all the time when out with Kubo and Piper.Friday afternoon after being out with them in heavy rain again, we decided our $2 Bunnings ponchos weren't cutting the mustard any more...So...Off we popped to @patagoniaaus to buy some real rain jackets - love me a jacket 💕The darling husband got a nice black one, I got myself a lovely lavender one ( no pink 😞 ).What happens next?Rain stops.This is Saturday afternoon - the thing we haven't seen in a long time - the sun - is shining!!!Lovely sunny day today too, and supposedly the rest of the week.You can all thank me... I'll probably never get to wear my lovely rain jacket now... But it's pretty 😍 Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpie #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Privilege. It's a thing..I'm always being complimented on how well behaved my dogs are. They truly are 💕They are because I've put in hundreds of hours in training... Building a solid foundation of communication and engagement.I create an atmosphere where my dogs love my bubble and truly want to be with me.They are allowed to meet other dogs - but here's the catch - they are only allowed to do so if they are calm and in the right headspace.I work hard to teach them how to read the room. I work hard to teach them about impulse control while out. I work hard to teach them about engagement while out.Most of my sessions are where people have given their dogs way too much freedom before that foundation has been solidified.Teenagers think they know it all 😉. When your dog is in adolescent phase - they are going to flex and try it on... Just like teenagers 🙄If there is a super solid foundation, it's not really a problem. If there is a sloppy foundation - problem...Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpie #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Master Roo 💕😍💕Roo has just had week 3 of puppy class and his handler - Steph - is so good I've had to advance them!They are a trainers dream 💗Tonight Roo met my Piper and learned that it is not all about manic play. He learned that just hanging out with Piper and his people is what it is all about.He was perfect 💕It was a super fun session this evening - might bring the big gun - Kubo - out next week! Roo is a 17 week old Kelpie and I'm a little in love... 💕Take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross #kelpiemix #kelpie #puppyclass #puppy #puppyclasses #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Lots of posts lately about dog attacks and rude dogs at dog parks 🤬Here's the thing.* If your dog has no recall,* If your dog is a pest with other dogs,* If your dog jumps up on people, * If your dog steals toys and you can't recall,* If your dog continually herds other dogs,* If your dog does not listen,* If your dog has no impulse control,Your dog should NOT be off lead. It is simple. Put the work in. Build the foundation. Do the training.Stop giving your dog so much freedom that it means you do not matter when out. You are just their driver.Don't be THAT person.Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Out and about with Kubo and Piper today. The darling husband is crook.We had a lovely time wandering together. I have to say - couldn't be prouder of my two.Couple of very ill mannered dogs today with very lazy owners. My two just ignored them completely.Here's the thing -If your dog has no recall, it should not be off lead.If your dog is a bully, it should not be off lead.If your dog steals toys, it should not be off lead.Here's another thing - If you go out and just want to chat with your friends while your dog is running around bored, getting in everyone else's business - you obviously don't care what your dog is doing, so why would your dog care about you when out?Just take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross#kelpiemix#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

We did nose work stuff tonight. Now she is exhausted 💕My Piper is full on. Like FULL on. When we do nose work stuff - she is ON. Oh my wordy lordy she's ON. Seriously! She's crazy!!! ( She's a bit like me at a party... 😳 ).She wants to be on the course working the whole time. She has no patience waiting! None!This is new to me. I have never had a dog that has difficulties switching off. Kubo was a bit of hard work teaching chill, but when he got it, he got it. He is perfect though ... Piper forgets... 🙄💕Now - Piper is brilliant normally, but this nose work stuff - she's off the charts. She loves it.I will now be working on teaching her to 'chill' while off the circuit, teach her to come on to the circuit calmly, wait, then signal to 'find'.It's a work in progress... In the meantime... I might have to invest in ear plugs for the rest of the crew 🙄🤣I'm learning some new stuff. I love it!Take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross#kelpiemix#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

I love days out with the darling husband, Kubo and Piper.I constantly get people telling me how well trained Kubo and Piper are... The darling husband - not so much 🤣😍I put millions of hours of work into both my dogs. Hours and hours and hours. Not hours each day. I might do formal training for short sessions, but everything else is shaping and guiding.I had a clear view of what I wanted Kubo and Piper to be as adult dogs and took them on that journey.It does not mean giving too much freedom because you think your dog needs to run around like an idiot.It does not mean checking out on your dog so you can Tik Toc, or Instagram, or Facebook or whatever the going media platform is these days.It means connecting with my dogs.It means clear, concise communication.It means watching and rewarding my dogs when they make great choices.It means playing and having fun with my dogs.It means wanting to listen and be with my dogs.Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd#blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtraining #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

When one of your favourite students sends you a photo of their glorious dog just chilling and watching their family members doing sports - it makes my world sparkle.Sometimes as trainers we try to explain what impulse control is... What chilling means... What teaching your dog to do nothing means - and a lot of people don't 'get' it... 😞It means just being chill. It means being able to quietly hang out with you while you watch your kids playing sport. It means you have taught your dog to regulate their arousal levels to whatever is going on around them.You've taught them to 'be' with you.If you are having issues with this - email me at pawfectbehaviour@gmail.com Let's chat.Take the time Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #rodesianridgeback #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

This glorious little creature came to puppy class tonight. My right hand lady.However... She got so very excited when she saw the beautiful vet nurses at Belrose Veterinary Hospital 🙄 carried on like a pork chop... 🙄🤣She then got super excited when my lovely students came in... 🙄🤣So I simply popped her on tie up to watch the class.She lay down and calmed herself. She was periodically rewarded for just chilling.This is what I am going to do each class now as she needs to learn to regulate herself in this situation.Training never stops.

Here's the thing...To have a blue tooth connection with your dog - you need to EARN it. You need to layer up a foundation of communication, a foundation of trust, a foundation of respect, a foundation of engagement, a foundation of confidence.You need to show your dog you are the shelter they need in order to follow you in a happy, healthy, confident state.Nothing to do with dominating your dog. That's barbaric.It is all about being your dog's safe space.It's about going forward with your dog as a beautiful partnership.But here's the thing. It's about being confident in taking your dog forward.Structure, guidelines, boundaries.People aren't partners with their dogs anymore.Change it. Step up.If you are having issues...

My Piper 💕She's not a lady.She is, however, a phenomenal little pup who follows, had the ability to make amazing choices and she's just too much fun.I tell my students that my Piper isn't the dog I would have chosen. She isn't.She's Kelpie/Koolie/Border Collie/Staffy.A cocktail of complete crazy...I had Impostor Syndrome when I decided to adopt her as I always teach my students to know the breed and fulfil their needs.Piper was a bit manic when I got her. Took a lot of patience, commitment, and communication to show her what I needed.I also had to learn from her as to what she needed.Now - she's so groovy! Seriously. She's party starter.She's the one you want 💕She's phenomenal.She's a super sensitive soul who has the most beautiful meet and greet...

I do small, casual classes on Saturday mornings in Frenchs Forest.Yesterday I had 5 gorgeous dogs learning about lead skills and impulse control. These classes are very relaxed. The aim is for each dog to chill out on their spot while waiting to be called out for an exercise.Some find it difficult. Others settle in very quickly.This photo is of gorgeous Douglas, who fell asleep before his owners got to the Roseville Bridge 💕I also have pay as you go classes on Friday afternoons in Elanora Heights too. These classes have more dogs in them.Something for everyone.For more information, email me at pawfectbehaviour@gmail.comTake the time.Train your dog.#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Dog Park etiquette.Here's the thing...If your dog is a bully - you should not have them off lead in a dog park.If your dog is a pest - up in other dog's grills and doesn't leave them alone - you should not have your dog off lead in a dog park.If your dog has no recall - you should not have your dog off lead in a dog park.If you expect other people/dogs to entertain your dog - you should not have your dog off lead in a dog park.If you try and stand up for yourself because you are advocating for your dog - expect to be verbally trounced! These people think that a dog park is a free for all where their ill mannered dog can do whatever it wants and if you disagree... well...Don't let these people keep you quiet. Keep standing up for your dog. Loud and clear!Take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

So here's the thing...To achieve engagement with your dog... You need to teach them where you are.If you set them loose too quickly and they have way too much fun without you... You are on the back foot. They are out to party!You need to establish a firm foundation with your dog that means fun, comfort, security, direction and engagement.It means listening to instructions. It means you are in control of your dog's situation at all times.If your dog doesn't believe this... They can't listen to you.You haven't taught them to find you. You haven't taught them to stop and listen to you. You haven't taught them to engage.We let our dogs have far too much freedom far too early - we don't form a solid foundation.Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd#blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

So... Here's the thing...Why take your dog out to the park then proceed to completely ignore them???Sit on the bench tick tocking, Instagramming, YouTubing, messengering, Facebooking, yacking on the phone to a friend, dawdling around yacking to a friend...All the time your dog is leaving giant messages around the place, running up and charging into dogs, nicking toys, jumping up on people 🙄🤬Or they nick toys... If you are asked to get said toy from your dog and return it... But your dog flips you the bird and proceeds to turn into an Olympic sprinter...Or - here's the best one... You have done tick tocking, Instagramming, YouTubing, messengering, Facebooking and yacking on the phone to your friend or dawdling around yacking to your friend and you want to leave... 🤣🤣🤣Yeah. Good luck you loser. Your dog has just had the best time WITHOUT you.Seriously people. BE with your dog! If you aren't interested in your dog when you take them out... How can you expect them to be interested, or want to be with you?Pfft...Take the time.BE with your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...
