Those of you who have been on my page for a while will remember this beauty.![]()
![]()
The dog I didn't want, but the dog I needed.![]()
![]()
Lucky Dog came to me a tiny, emaciated little thing aged about 4.5-5 months. ![]()
![]()
Flea and fly bitten with some nasty scarring on her little body, I decided to feed her up, train her up and look for a home when she was ready.![]()
![]()
She stayed - of course she did.![]()
![]()
This dog was brilliant, stubborn, dog aggressive, cuddly, hilarious, performed the best zoomies in town and became my best working dog.![]()
![]()
She understood better than I did in sessions when the other dogs had had enough.![]()
![]()
She understood better than I did what was needed and made me look good.![]()
![]()
Geeze she made me work...![]()
![]()
She was my teacher, I was her student.![]()
![]()
She was one of the brightest lights that graced my life, but that dimmed far too early.![]()
![]()
She didn't make it to her 5th birthday. That was 3.5 years ago. Now I have the incredible Kubo.![]()
![]()
I'm getting lots of memories of her cropping up in my feeds, and I can smile about her now.![]()
![]()
Feeling a little melancholy today 💗💔💗![]()
![]()
Hug your dog for me please.![]()
![]()
And don't forget -![]()
![]()
Train your dog xo![]()

Out on the trails this morning. An at distance walk with Anne.![]()
![]()
Kubo was SO excited to see her... His enthusiasm made him a little cheeky today 🤣![]()

Home now and relaxing 💗![]()

Lockdown extended... We are all crawling the walls... 🥺![]()
![]()
Things you can do with your dog are -![]()
![]()
Practice place training - solidify it. Instruct your dog to go to their bed, stay there and be still. Chill and calm.![]()
![]()
They will truly benefit from it, so will you.![]()
![]()
Do away with their food bowl. Raid your recycle bin and make fun food puzzles/toys for them.![]()
![]()
Portion out their daily food allowance and use it for training.![]()
![]()
Tightly rolled up towel with food in it - your dog has to push the roll out to get the food.![]()
![]()
Sprinkle their food over grass so your dog has to sniff it out to find it.![]()
![]()
Make fun obstacle courses in your front and back yards. Lure your dog over, under, through and around obstacles. Get creative and change it up every couple of days.![]()
![]()
Punch holes in drink bottles, put dry food in them and have your dog roll them around to get the food.![]()
![]()
Semi freeze some of their food so it is harder to eat.![]()
![]()
Do hide and seek games - one member of the family hold the dog, one member hide ( make it easy to start with, increase difficulty as they learn the game ). The hidden member calls the dog and hugely rewards when they are found.![]()
![]()
Do fun obedience training and increase the crispness of instruction compliance, duration, focus and energy from your dog towards you.![]()
![]()
Ensure, when you are engaging with your dog, you are still providing structure - don't just mindlessly chuck toys around.![]()
![]()
Exercise the mind as well as the body.![]()
![]()
It is crucial we keep our dogs on the right path. ![]()
![]()
Most of us are working from home, as well as home schooling. It is a herculean load.![]()
![]()
You need to ensure you have quality, meaningful break times.![]()
![]()
Make it count.![]()
![]()
Be safe. Be patient.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.
Two spunky dogs on a big rock 💗![]()
![]()
First time Kubo has met the very gorgeous Tate. He thought she was very groovy 😍![]()
![]()
Went out today for a long bush walk with my friend Jaice from K9 TRACKS ![]()
![]()
Tate and Kubo had a ball 'bush bashing' while Jaice strolled along - distance - with me - hobble along Harry 🤣. She was very patient 🤣![]()
![]()
It was lovely catching up and watching our dogs be dogs 💗![]()
![]()
Stay safe everyone.![]()

During lockdown, it is all to easy to take the easy way out by taking your dog to the dog park all the time and let them fang around with other dogs.![]()

Take the time to be with your dog. Take the time to play with your dog. ![]()

Went bush today with Kubo and young rescue pup - Pablo.![]()
![]()
Kubo was off lead, while Pablo was on a 7 foot lead. ![]()
![]()
Both boys were perfectly behaved. Both boys listened. Both boys were engaged. ![]()
![]()
Pablo is learning about boundaries and impulse control.![]()
![]()
Neither one of them were interested in anything much outside our bubble!![]()
![]()
Don't cheat on your dog and take the easy way out by taking them to the dog park every day.![]()
![]()
Go out and BE with your dog. Go out and have fun with your dog.![]()

Took Kubo out for a fun walk and some training.![]()
![]()
We bumped into our mates - Lorraine and Remy, so did some fun walking, sniffing and climbing - all at distance.![]()
![]()
We are in the midst of lockdown.![]()
![]()
That isn't an excuse to not train your dog or take them out - sensibly - and work with them.![]()
![]()
Dog parks - particularly now - are a nightmare 😳![]()
![]()
Don't be a cheat.![]()

During these times where we are to stay home, ensure you are providing structure for your dog.![]()
![]()
It is all too easy to let them hang out with us 24/7. We love them and we probably prefer their company to the rest in the house... 😳. I didn't say that... 🤣![]()
![]()
Much as we love them... you can't. For their own good.![]()
![]()
They need to have the confidence to let you move to another room in your house, without the need to follow you.![]()
![]()
Crate training, place training - chill time is crucial at this point in our crazy lives.![]()
![]()
We need to ensure our dogs can be on their own for periods of time during the day - even when we are home - so we prevent separation anxiety.![]()
![]()
Allocate periods of time during the day where your dog is in their crate, on their bed or even outside.![]()
![]()
Structured exercise is beneficial too. When you go out, don't go for a boring walk or to the dog park where they can go off like fire crackers.![]()
![]()
Go out and explore. Go out and play with them. Go out and encourage them to think and problem solve.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()

Things are a bit heavy at the Pawfect Behaviour house at the moment.![]()
![]()
I am not working due to Covid restrictions and I'm having surgery next week, just to name a few.![]()
![]()
Today I took Kubo out and went right back to basics. ![]()
![]()
We did positions in duration and moving.![]()
![]()
We did positions under distraction and we played ball.![]()
![]()
It was light, it was successful and we had fun.![]()
![]()
I couldn't get technical today. ![]()
![]()
I could have just gone to the off lead dog park and let him fang around, but there are too many things happening there for me to even consider it.![]()
![]()
It isn't Kubo's fault I'm in a mood, so why cheat on him and take the easy route?![]()
![]()
My headspace is now clearer, thanks to his company 😍![]()

There have been several posts about dogs being inappropriate at off lead dog parks, as well as dogs off lead charging dogs on lead.![]()
![]()
We are all annoyed at our current circumstances at the moment. Our dogs feel it.![]()
![]()
It doesn't give people the right to not follow the rules though.![]()
![]()
Dogs should be on lead in leashed areas. It's that simple.![]()
![]()
If you see a dog on lead, NEVER allow your dog to rush up to it. If you can't recall your dog - it shouldn't be off lead - it's that simple.![]()
![]()
If your dog is a 'rough' player - bear in mind other dogs may not be. Don't just allow your dog to be a pain, it can cause a fight, or worse - scare the other dog.![]()
![]()
I don't care the age or size of the dog. If you cannot recall your dog 100% of the time, in any situation, you do not have complete control. Your dog should not be off lead.![]()
![]()
At the moment, during lockdown, people are out with their dogs at the dog parks and they are crowded. ![]()
![]()
Choose your times to go if you want to take them there - go at a quieter time.![]()
![]()
I have also noticed that there are a lot of dogs off lead in areas that are leash only.![]()
![]()
If I have a dog on lead and see one rushing us - here's my tip - I have a rapid opening umbrella. I point it at the on coming dog and boom. Startles that dog and acts as a barrier 😉![]()
![]()
Take your dogs out for walks that include exploring, sniffing, playing and training. The dog park isn't the bee-all and end-all.![]()
![]()
Go out and BE with your dog. Don't rely on other dogs to entertain yours.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()

Be safe everyone xo![]()

Young Master Pablo came over today.![]()
![]()
Close friends of mine have just adopted him.![]()
![]()
He's an 8 month old Kelpie mix from Fetching Dogs.![]()
![]()
Had a session on boundaries, checking in, lead skills and enrichment.![]()
![]()
He's not had a lot of exposure in his young, 8 months of life, so we are working on confidence building too ![]()
![]()
He's gorgeous and he's going to be a great mate with Kubo 💗![]()
![]()
They haven't met yet, but will in good time 😍![]()

Out and about today with Kubo, the darling husband and the brother in-law.![]()
![]()
Kubo's job today was to stay with us, pay attention, listen, have fun with us and recall immediately when asked.![]()
![]()
He was brilliant.![]()
![]()
Annoyingly, someone's dog came over, stole the frisbee the husband and brother in-law were using.![]()
![]()
Owner nowhere to be found 🙄 ![]()
![]()
The dog proceeds to charge around the place and starts playing tug with the frisbee with other dogs.![]()
![]()
Dogs will be dogs. ![]()
![]()
BUT - my annoyance here is the owner had no idea where her dog was. She was gabbing with other people and letting her dog do whatever it wanted.![]()
![]()
Someone else got our frisbee for us. The non attentive owner said - 'oh he's just a pup - he's a bit naughty that way'.![]()
![]()
That is no excuse.![]()
![]()
If you cannot control your dog effectively when it is off lead, you should not be at the dog park.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()
![]()
#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #dogtraining #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeacheslocal #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs
The darling husband is playing frisbee with his brother.![]()

Kubo is practising impulse control.![]()
![]()
He desperately wants to get that frisbee and run off with it, but not today!![]()
![]()
He's already been out today. He can just chill.![]()
![]()
He is a working line German Shepherd Dog - he could go all day if I let him.![]()
![]()
It is crucial to teach your dog to just chill.![]()

Don't let the fact that we are having to stay at home in lockdown, stop you from training your dog.![]()
![]()
I will be doing activities such as food searches, game play and place training - that is just at home!![]()
![]()
This morning I have had a session with Izzy on game play. She's tired now.![]()
![]()
She and Kubo are just chilling for now.![]()
![]()
In a bit, I will take Kubo out for a structured walk. ![]()
![]()
For me a structured walk is where he is to maintain manners and loose lead at all times. ![]()
![]()
He is to maintain engagement. He will be allowed to sniff and investigate, maintaining the loose lead.![]()
![]()
Because a lot of us are going to be home again, we need to maintain a bit of distance from our dogs as well.![]()
![]()
Crate training and place training your dogs enables your dog to chill out and relax in their zen spot, while you move around the house.![]()
![]()
This is going to be hard for you to do while home in lockdown, but it is vital to keep a little bit of distance from your dog during these times, so they don't fall back to being so dependent on being with you all the time.![]()
![]()
If you are a multi dog family, you could look at taking one dog out for play and walk at a time.![]()
![]()
Be safe everyone.![]()

Train your dog.![]()

Kubo and 11 week old Hobi having a play. I only let them play for about 45 seconds here as Hobi was already pretty high.![]()
![]()
Little Hobi is a Kelpie x and is very driven.![]()
![]()
Loves a game of tug.![]()
![]()
Loves a wrestle with Kubo.![]()
![]()
Loves life in the super fast lane.![]()
![]()
He very quickly turns from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde in a split nano second.![]()
![]()
Hard eyes and biting that causes blood to be drawn.![]()
![]()
He gets frustrated quickly when things aren't clear.![]()
![]()
When he is coming at you like a tiny land shark, you simply can't turn you back and ignore him, you are giving him another surface to bite or latch onto.![]()
![]()
He is learning the art of crate training. When he starts to become a tiny Hell Hound, he goes to bed to switch off.![]()
![]()
He's been brilliant and a true joy today 😍![]()
![]()
Kubo is pretty cool too 😉❤️![]()

Three dogs who have worked both physically and mentally together today 😍![]()
![]()
My Kubo - Lord of Dogs 💗![]()
![]()
Izzy - Northern Beaches most Floofy Clever 💗![]()
![]()
Young Ranger - Service Dog in training - best boy 💗![]()
![]()
Today each dog worked independently and each dog worked within the group.![]()
![]()
You can see both Izzy and Ranger are passed out. Completely relaxed in their crates.![]()
![]()
When a dog is fulfilled both mentally and physically, and it is able to switch off, your dog is able to chill.![]()

I was out with Kubo and Izzy this afternoon.![]()
![]()
We were in the middle pen up at St Ives showground.![]()
![]()
On both sides we had fence ragers. Both sides 🙄. Two dogs on both sides.![]()
![]()
Their owners were half hearted on "recalling" their dogs, but seemed to think it was ok if they didn't come back, but continue barking and charging the fence line.![]()
![]()
You can see Kubo is not in the least bit interested in them. He was instructed to "leave it" - so he did.![]()
![]()
Initially Izzy was concerned. She wouldn't play, she was sitting between my feet.![]()
![]()
In the end - she was playing and engaging with me and trotting after Kubo 💗![]()
![]()
We were there for about 40-45 minutes or so. My two were lovely, calm, happy and engaged.![]()
![]()
The dogs raging the fence line off their poor chops.![]()

![]()
It's pouring. She's having fun.![]()
![]()
No preciousness here!![]()
![]()
When it was time to come in, she got a rub down.![]()
![]()
This afternoon, the darling husband and I took both Kubo and Izzy out in it for a fun wander.![]()
![]()
Don't let the wet weather dictate what fun you have with your dog. Get out in it!![]()

If you are precious about getting wet, why would your dog go out and get wet?![]()

Play. Here's the thing...![]()
![]()
A lot of us want to take our dogs to an off lead dog park and bang around like they are in a mosh pit at a heavy metal concert.![]()
![]()
A lot of people take their dogs over to people's places and let their dogs fang around like they are crazed Velociraptors. ![]()
![]()
No structure. No impulse control. No guidance. No listening.![]()
![]()
The only thing your dogs are learning is an inappropriate play style.![]()
![]()
Then you wonder why they don't listen to you and are always pulling and lunging forward on the lead. Not recalling etc...![]()
![]()
They want to get to the other dog or person because that is where the crazy fun is...![]()
![]()
That is what they know. That is what you are teaching them.![]()
![]()
Here you can see Kubo and Izzy playing.![]()
![]()
Equal, fun, calm. Both have a completely different play style, but both are enjoying it.![]()
![]()
The play doesn't go on for too long, as I am showing Izzy the best level to 'stop' at, then chill.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.![]()

Working with Izzy to build confidence and trust.![]()
![]()
Day two and we are doing place training between each dog's session, out the front of my house.![]()
![]()
Izzy must maintain place while Kubo works - this enables her to relax and just chill while she waits for her turn to come around again.![]()
![]()
There has been quite a bit of street activity today which Izzy has played through and watched.![]()
![]()
She's not stressed once. She stopped to look at someone, then chose to continue play/learning.![]()
![]()
We are layering up a foundation, then we will go slowly into the big wide world.![]()
![]()
Train your dog.
Our shenanigans thus far 😍![]()

Kubo is bringing Miss Izzy around.![]()
![]()
They were playing early this morning and the recycling truck came past. It was really noisy.![]()
![]()
She startled a couple of times, but decided that play was a better option than stressing.![]()
![]()
It is day two of this little one's board and train. ![]()
![]()
I'm going to let her get a bit more settled, then we up the ante.![]()

Train your dog.
Izzy is a 16 week old Groodle pup staying with us for the next two weeks.![]()
![]()
She's a worried little girl, which is why she's here.![]()
![]()
Her family are off on holiday, so Miss Izzy will be holidaying here, learning about bravery, courage and learning how groovy the world can be.![]()
![]()
She's not been here long, Kubo is out wandering around. She was frightened of him to begin with, but he's giving her the space she needs.![]()
![]()
He's walked right past her to get a drink here and she's watching him from the comfort of her 'bedroom'.![]()
![]()
Her owners have done a fantastic job of crate training. It is going to make it so much easier for little Izzy to watch the world from a safe place.![]()
![]()
I will let her settle in for a day or two, then we begin getting brave ❤️![]()

This fabulous post is from a friend of mine in Queensland - Fellowship of the Paws - Dog training . Her speciality is Greyhounds <3![]()

Quite often we bring dogs into our homes and want to love up on them immediately. We are so proud and excited to have them.![]()
![]()
Sometimes though, some dogs just can't give you what you want straight away. ![]()
![]()
They need time to learn to be in your house, with a family, learn what love is and so on.![]()
![]()
It doesn't always have to be a rescue dog either. Some dogs are just timid/introvert.![]()
![]()
This video of one of Sue Waugh 's foster dogs - Trixie is a perfect example of dogs showing stress signals that can often be over looked if you don't know what you are looking for.![]()

Spent some time with Callie and Mila this morning.![]()
![]()
The girls learned about impulse control.![]()
![]()
Mila the Beagle gets a bit stroppy when young Callie gets overly excited.![]()
![]()
Their owner, Kiri, was able to have a game with each dog without any incident.![]()
![]()
The girls learned about place training. How to just chill. They were amazing.![]()
![]()
Both are beautiful dogs with a lovely foundation.![]()

Using our Dog Pacer today as part of our training.![]()

I have a bad knee at the moment - I can't walk too far and the Honda was in for her service today.![]()
![]()
So - the Dog Pacer was used, along with other fun training stuff today.![]()

It isn't always about the mad running around.![]()

Sometimes it is about the impulse control.![]()
