My Kubo is now going into retirement... 🥹![]()
![]()
He has been such an incredible right hand man for my behaviour sessions over the years.![]()
![]()
He is strong, confident, reliable and knows what to do. He's just an incredible dog. He's my entire world 💗![]()
![]()
Now my Piper... 💕![]()
![]()
She's my little firecracker 🧨 ![]()
![]()
She is supremely clever, soft, intuitive and reads the room brilliantly!![]()
![]()
She isn't suited to behaviour like Kubo was, but she is impressive with puppies and anxious dogs.![]()
![]()
Today she worked with my puppy class and was pretty amazing.![]()
![]()
She worked in one of my puppy sessions this afternoon and crushed it.![]()
![]()
My Piper is 2 years old and winning at life. Just like my Kubo 💕![]()
![]()
Doesn't get any better 💗![]()
![]()
Don't take your dogs for granted.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()

Our dogs are true gifts 💕![]()
![]()
I'm not going into great detail, but our Wasabi wasn't feeling at all well this morning.![]()
![]()
I came downstairs to find her a bit distressed.![]()
![]()
When she is distressed, she likes me to pick her up and just hold her securely and close.![]()
![]()
It takes a while. I had to cancel my 9am class today - thank you guys - because she only relaxes fully when she feels safe.![]()
![]()
This takes a while and I take the time.![]()
![]()
When Wasabi is uncomfortable - no one can touch her - she will bite. But not me.![]()
![]()
The thing is - when our dogs give us so much trust it is humbling. Truly humbling. I have that trust with Wasabi.![]()
![]()
We are guilty of taking our dogs for granted.![]()
![]()
Don't do that.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()
![]()
Appreciate your dog.![]()

St Ives dog park is in use today, so no off lead runs.![]()
![]()
Instead, a long bush sniff/walk and now a cool down in the shade.![]()
![]()
Beautiful day 💕![]()

Take the time.![]()

Size should not matter.![]()
![]()
My Kubo is a working line German Shepherd Dog from outstanding breeding and is very confident. ![]()
![]()
He had a phenomenal teacher in The Queen - Daisy. She was a massive influence in his life. He was 3 when she left this world and she did her job brilliantly 💗![]()
![]()
My Daisy didn't take any crap from Kubo - at all. She was a little weirdo, but she was a phenomenal teacher for him. I loved her so much 💗![]()
![]()
She taught Kubo respect for tiny dogs. Cumin and Wasabi have continued that teaching.![]()
![]()
It's a mutual feeling of respect and love. Piper has also earned both Cumin and Wasabi's affection too.![]()
![]()
It is incredible to see 💗![]()
![]()
Wasabi makes you work for her respect. Piper has finally done so.![]()
![]()
Now this didn't happen over night. I advocated for each dog. I made sure each dog felt they were successful. I made sure each dog knew they were safe. I watched the boundaries.![]()
![]()
You need to take the time.![]()
![]()
You need to train your dog.![]()

Took the boy to my favourite vet - @belroseveterinaryhospital today for his check up.![]()
![]()
At almost 8 years old he is considered a senior 🥹![]()
![]()
He's pure muscle and still a weapon at 40kg 😍💕😍![]()
![]()
We saw Dr John today. He loves Dr John. And he knows where the lolly jar is 😉![]()
![]()
It is vital to take your dogs to your vet not just when they are sick or need jabs.![]()
![]()
You want to take them in for some fussing and treats and a pop on the weigh station.![]()
![]()
Speak to your lovely vet nurses to see what time you can do a quick pop in. They love helping you help your dog gain positive experiences.![]()
![]()
You will be pleased to know that both Kubo and Piper are bikini body ready!![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

Marching into our long weekend... This photo says it all 💗![]()
![]()
This morning my 9am class kicked goals out to the stratosphere 👊![]()
![]()
I had an ex racing Greyhound come from a very hard background find his confidence in class this morning 💕. ![]()
![]()
He was flat out snoring by the end - NOT boredom people... He was so relaxed he nearly sunk into the ground 😍![]()
![]()
I had all the dogs working beautifully - wanting to be with their person. It was magic.![]()
![]()
I then met a young dog and her beautiful family after class for an intensive session .![]()
![]()
This little lady came from a horrific background - backyard fighting dogs - her mother was used as a fighting dog 😞![]()
![]()
Had part one of an intensive session with them today to layer up communication, bring in engagement and most importantly - impulse control.![]()
![]()
She crushed it. Her family has given her a fabulous foundation to work with and build on.![]()
![]()
So. Today was pretty epic 💗![]()
![]()
Take the time. ![]()

Train your dog.![]()

Today was a pretty groovy day 👊💗👊![]()
![]()
Pay as you go classes in Elanora Heights were great fun.![]()
![]()
I am trying to come up with different ways each week, to show people how to work with their dogs in a fun way.![]()
![]()
To bluetooth in and be connected with each other.![]()
![]()
Also, providing distraction so people work with their dogs through them.![]()
![]()
Train and have fun. Repetition, repetition, repetition. Everywhere.![]()
![]()

My Kubo is sprawled out showing the old man grey hairs on his tummy... 🥹![]()
![]()
He is 8 in December.![]()
![]()
Still a powerful boy, but - where did the time go?![]()
![]()
Hug your dogs for me and enjoy every moment you have with them ❤️ ![]()

Take the time.![]()

Make training fun!![]()
![]()
Make sure you are what your dog wants over and above the environment and what is in it.![]()
![]()
Take the time to level up your training with your dog so they know the rules and boundaries while out.![]()
![]()
Make sure - if off lead - they have a bombproof recall and fully listen when you instruct.![]()
![]()
I could go on and on... But you get the picture...![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

Second photo is me spending money at @bunnings 😄![]()
![]()
Spending money at Bunnings meant I could create a fun course for my Friday classes today!![]()
![]()
Training should be fun not boring. ![]()
![]()
Training should be about what you learn you are strong in training and learning about your weaknesses in training.![]()
![]()
Dial in. Ensure the Bluetooth remains connected throughout your training.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

This just looks like my Piper is watching TV with me... 😍![]()
![]()
No.![]()
![]()
My cheeky Piper has developed a bad habit of rushing the TV when dogs/animals are on. ![]()
![]()
I like watching dog training videos - I don't need her getting up close and personal to the screen, nor do I need nose art on the screen 🤣![]()
![]()
I simply have her on a light slip lead while I have a video on. This gives me complete control to stop the rushing.![]()
![]()
She learns that rushing is inappropriate and relaxing is best way forward 💗![]()
![]()
Doesn't take her long as she's a quick study, but consistent training is key.![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

It's a great day today!![]()

Little Max has passed his therapy dog training 💗![]()
![]()
He is from @lovedalelabradoodles and his owner Lucy Dahill has done an extraordinary job in being so consistent with his training.![]()
![]()
I have been working with this team since he was 12 weeks old - he's now 2 💕![]()
![]()
He goes to work at Killara High School 2 days a week.![]()
![]()
I'm so proud 💗![]()
![]()
So much work goes into the training of a therapy dog within a school.![]()
![]()
Well done Lucy and Max - I'm so proud 💗![]()

My Kubo had a rest day today 💗 ![]()
![]()
My Piper had a job to do solo.![]()
![]()
We met up with a 6 month old puppy today who broke her leg in critical phase.![]()
![]()
Little Stella missed out on a lot of important development during her recovery.![]()
![]()
I'm not too fussed though as she was the boldest, most confident in puppy class. It's in there.![]()
![]()
Today I took Piper and a friend bought her lovely dog along to help. ![]()
![]()
All we did was chill, sniff and just gently move.![]()
![]()
Stella did think the world was a scary place initially, but the beauty of having a couple of confident lead dogs meant she could follow along with what they did.![]()
![]()
I'm so proud of Piper - she was incredible 💕![]()

Take the time.![]()

You might have noticed the page has been quiet for the last couple of weeks... 🤫![]()
![]()
I've been on holiday in Japan with the darling husband and two other close friends.![]()
![]()
Kubo and Piper were at @barnstonekennels ![]()
![]()
This morning we landed, got off the plane, got luggage, got through customs, grabbed our airport shuttle, got home and waited like a cat on a hot tin roof till 1pm to pick them up.![]()
![]()
Took them both for a stroll to get the excited energy out - now it's home time to tackle the mountain of washing 😳![]()
![]()
Take the time.![]()

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.![]()

Their little stand... It melted our hearts.![]()

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.![]()
![]()
