Here's the thing...![]()
![]()
To get the dog you want, you need to take them on that path to full maturity.![]()
![]()
Not just puppy class... But through all the developmental phases along the way.![]()
![]()
A lot of people think puppy class is enough.![]()
![]()
It isn't...![]()
![]()
You need to get through adolescent phase. This is where your young dog starts to flex and test the waters.![]()
![]()
You need to buckle up and go with the flow here.![]()
![]()
You need to coach and guide here. Boundaries. Structure. Confidence.![]()
![]()
They are going through both mental and physical changes.![]()
![]()
We don't train with frustration or anger - that is wrong.![]()
![]()
Be patient. Be considered. Be confident.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()

Yes. Piper is wearing a baby blue jumper with a pink smiley on the back. And she rocks it 💗![]()

I'd have Kubo and Cumin in jumpers too, but they have too much hair and get hot. But they'd rock them too if they had them on...![]()

I'm retired now, but I had a long history teaching the art of Taekwondo.![]()

I'm old and a bit broken now 🥹 but I wouldn't have it any other way.![]()

My martial arts background gave me the knowledge and patience for dog training.![]()

I know... I know... It's a photo of our Wasabi - deal with it... She's gorgeous 😍 ![]()
![]()
Any way. The darling husband and I were finishing up our walk with the dogs to find two young girls selling homemade lemonade.![]()
![]()
Their little stand... It melted our hearts.![]()

The darling husband and I bought two cups of strawberry lemonade. Bit sweet... But you know - I'm going to help out our tiny entrepeneurs! ![]()

Seriously. What is it with people having their unruly dogs off lead in the dog park??? 😠😡![]()
![]()
If your dog has no recall - they should not be off lead. Do the training.![]()
![]()
If your dog doesn't listen - they should not be off lead. Do the training.![]()
![]()
If your dog is a bully - they should not be off lead. Do the training.![]()
![]()
If your dog jumps all over everyone - they should not be off lead. Do the training.![]()
![]()
If you expect everyone and their dog to entertain yours - you should not be at the dog park.![]()
![]()
Get off the phone. Watch your dog. Be with them. Clean up after them.![]()
![]()
Do the training.![]()
![]()
Pay attention.![]()
![]()
Just be with your dog. They truly are gifts 💗![]()

Out and about today with Kubo and Piper.![]()
![]()
My two are neutral, which means when a dog aggresses towards them, they are neutral. No reaction.![]()
![]()
Today we had two Doodle breeds charge Kubo.![]()
![]()
They really went in. He didn't care, but I stepped up and swung my leash around them. The owner then decided to do something 🙄. I didn't care. My concern was Kubo. ![]()
![]()
Kubo could have reacted. He's confident enough not to though. He trusts the process.![]()
![]()
9 out of 10 dogs don't have the impulse control to just ignore and stay chill. ![]()
![]()
Kubo is that dog. He is an alpha and very confident. ![]()
![]()
Piper is learning to ignore that arousal level. She isn't an alpha, but she's learning to be a strong beta. She's learning where to come back to in a situation. And I am there.![]()
![]()
Dogs charging Kubo and Piper is inexcusable. I'm not having it.![]()
![]()
Kubo and Piper do not engage and are highly rewarded for it.![]()
![]()
Impulse control is everything.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

Took the darling husband, daughter no. 2 and lovely son-in-law out to Lux to see Superman this evening 💕![]()
![]()
Recommended.![]()
![]()
Home and madam had a hyper moment 🙄![]()
![]()
I'm tired, but she was so cute in asking 😍![]()
![]()
So as not to miss some fun training, we went out and had a game of tug on the back porch.![]()
![]()
7 minutes. That is all it took.![]()
![]()
In that time we had - fun. Structure. Engagement. We were together. She powered through everything I asked her to do and she smashed it.![]()
![]()
I could have just instructed her to go to her bed, but that was the lazy way out.![]()
![]()
Here is the result. 7 minutes of fun, structured play and she is now out like a light. Very happy and content.![]()
![]()
They don't ask for much, so be kind and pay attention.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

Crook today.![]()
![]()
Went out today anyway with these two. Only lasted half an hour in the rain and freezing cold.![]()
![]()
Both had a rain jacket on to keep them somewhat protected.![]()
![]()
The darling husband and I had our rain jackets on - top half was dry but the bottom half was drenched.![]()
![]()
My shoes were water logged and my pants were soaked.![]()

Lasted half an hour. ![]()

Sammy smashed it. Full credit to his owners.![]()

Cumin and Wasabi watched from their crate up high, while Piper watched from her crate.![]()

Piper also came out to show polite meet and greets, also just to show what calm hanging out looks like.![]()

I also like to have my dogs in their crates to show people what good crate training looks like. ![]()

She's bounced back!![]()

The Spice Girls turned 13 on May 4th ( SO badly wanted to chuck a Star wars pun in there... ), but she's now feeling so much better she's acting like a 3 year old 😍![]()

The tiny dot has meds for heart disease, meds for fluid on her lungs and her kidneys are slowly declining, but she's challenging life like a tiny champion.![]()

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 💕![]()

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... 🙄![]()

My boy Kubo 💗![]()
![]()
7.5 years old and gathering grey hairs... 🥹![]()
![]()
He's still an incredibly fit, powerful dog in the prime of his life, but each new grey hair reminds me to appreciate and love him every single day 💕![]()
![]()
Hug your dogs for me 💗![]()

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.![]()

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 😍 ![]()

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.![]()

I hope you are all sitting so you are prepared for... 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... 💕![]()
