Today I was out with these two 💗Today's training was "stay with me".Piper is ambivalent towards other dogs... People however are her kryptonite... 🙄She turns into idiotville... Wriggling, whining, wanting to jump straight into a face... 🙄😳So I'm having to teach her the value of "stay with me".In doing so, there are games to be had and a truck load of lollies. You can see in these photos I've got a 3 metre lead on her so I can use it if she forgets herself.You can also see she is watching what is going on in the pen next to us, without charging over like an embarrassing knob.Looking is learning. She's practising impulse control and smashing it 💗👊💗Kubo was Mr Perfection - as usual 💕😍💕Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #workingdog #workingdogs #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

This chickadee was impressive today. She's pooped now 💕I took both Kubo and Piper to Clontarf this afternoon.Couldn't park - parking is a nightmare... 🙄 Anyway... Parked miles away and walked to the beach.All groovy.We were way off to the side as I wanted to do some training with Piper on impulse control.We had a Golden Retriever come over to us looking for some zoomies... Not today.I put Kubo in a drop/stay and Piper in a sit/stay. Both my dogs being still- the Golden got bored and moved away.Huge praise for both dogs and we continued to have fun 💗We had another person approach our area who kept throwing their dog's ball toward us... 🙄I just moved off to one side and gave both dogs the instruction to 'leave it'.They did.Having your dog out with you doesn't mean they have to meet every dog while out. It doesn't mean they have to meet every person while out.Having your dog off lead means your dog is under effective control at all times. It means they listen to you above all else.Piper at this stage is still not under effective control. I have her on a run line so I can guide her.Practice, practice, practice.Take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Piper's chill position 😍🤣Her Witching hour is from 6-8.15pm - you can set your watch to it 🙄She then crashes for about half an hour before getting up, staring at me to go out to the toilet.She then comes inside and goes up to her crate to go to bed for the night - with a treat - around 9pm.If I don't put her to bed, she's unsettled.The darling husband takes her out for a last toilet stop after gaming 😍Take the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross#kelpiemix#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

So here's the thing.Impulse control means teaching your dog to make good choices no matter what hyper arousal level they are in or around.This is where the training becomes boring for most people.You see... Your dog does well in a very low stimulus environment, so you jump several steps forward because you think they should know what to do, because they did it in your backyard...A dog's life is like a picture book. Change the scene and you need to go back to basics to train up again. Each scenario is different.Then... Here's the real thing...When the foundation is nice and solid - you then need to raise the bar.Training isn't a lovely straight line forward. It is 2 steps forward... 4 steps back. 3 steps forward... 1 step back. You get the picture.Training is reading the room. Training is knowing your dog.Training is clear communication.Training is being one with your dog.If you want to learn about clear communication, email me at pawfectbehaviour@gmail.comDon't phone - I'm with students, so I'm not going to answer xxxTake the time.Train your dog.#kelpiecross#kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

There was a dog that raced the fence line where I was today 🙄 so I used that hyper energy to do some training with Piper.She was on her 5 meter run line, which I had hold of initially.She was super keen to get to this dog, so I simply hooked the lead on the fence and started to train with Kubo till she settled down.Once she did, Kubo was placed in a drop/stay while I worked with Piper.We did lead walking, focus, game play and in a very short time, she forgot about what was happening in the next pen.Both dogs were rotated, both dogs were required to chill while waiting their turn, then they had 'free' time.It was a fun session 😍Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Today was a milestone in Piper's training.She came out this morning for a fragile dog named Dash. A glorious little Havanese 💕Dash is terrified of the world.We did an initial intensive session with her owners 3 weeks ago. They had three weeks to develop a foundation for Dash that we could build on.They did an outstanding job.In the session today, Kubo came out first. Dash was non reactive.I then bought Piper out. I was very aware of her age here. She had effusive energy.She was brilliant. She comes out like a firecracker, but under gentle guidance, she is able to adapt.She had fun too!She helped dogs today, which is my end goal for her.I am training towards behaviour modification for her - same as Kubo, but if it isn't what she likes, then I need to change course.I can't force her to do something she doesn't like.Know your dog 💗Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog#blackgsd#blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

That was a doozy of a storm 😳Some of the thunder claps startled Piper, so I went out and played with her and just chilled.This was at the beginning. She whizzed around the yard a couple of times, then ran inside with wet feet 🙄When the storm intensified, Kubo and Piper were popped in their crates with a bone each.We also had Luna from next door here with a bone as well.All good now 💕. Hopefully everyone managed to stay dry and safe xxx ... See MoreSee Less

I get asked time and again about crate training.There is still this way of thinking that it is cruel.Look at this photo.Piper literally heaves a sigh of relief when I pop her into her crate to 'switch off'.She is a very high drive dog. I got her at 16 weeks, I'm working on her "off" switch.Crates are your dog's bedroom.A place where they are safe, can completely relax and just let go.Crates aren't cruel. They are a haven for your dog.

Out today to do some gentle training, mainly - with Piper - but Kubo came along for the ride.Expectations today - * Independence from Kubo, * Sniff and explore, but recall immediately when asked,*Watch the dogs in the other area, but recall immediately when asked,* Move with me, when I move.Her run line was shorter today, but I didn't need to use it once.If you spend the time layering up a strong foundation when your dog is young, that foundation can be built on as your dog matures.You then have a dog that is easy to take anywhere.I got Piper at around 16 weeks. I'm currently building my strong foundation with her - things I need my dogs to know - the basics will follow in time.Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpie #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

After a hectic weekend of wedding celebrations and interstate visitors - it's now quiet.The darling husband and I took the dogs out earlier this evening for some exercise for them and us.The darling husband and Kubo were inside the dog park, Piper and I were barreling around the outside.Piper is overly social. She forgets where her centre is when she's hyper. She forgets to check in. We are practicing this everywhere and anywhere.We practiced walking, paying attention, ignoring scooters, prams and people running.Both dogs were glorious 🥰😍🥰They are now both snoring away 💗Check out my boy's muscles 😍Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpiecross #kelpiemix #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Finished sessions for this weekend.My intensive, older dog group have one more session to go, to tidy stuff up.They are a fun, amazing group who have done the work.My Junior group had week 2 and we had a ripper time. I have 3 very different, very energetic 4.5-5 month old pups in this group who are learning about boundaries, clear listening and we are working on clarity of communication, importance of engagement and the power of game play.I had a couple of 1:1 sessions on Saturday for some anxiety issues.Today I had my last session with two special little rescue pups - Herbie and Nylah 💗Cracking, feisty little pups who I could easily have run away with 😉Week 3 for my Thursday puppy class and a new puppy class starting this coming Wednesday.Schools are back, so my therapy dog sessions will begin again.Busy!Take the time.Train your dog.#puppyclass #puppy #puppytraining #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Took Piper up to my local shopping centre this morning.She's overly social - both dogs and people - so I'm working on her engagement and impulse control while out. This is something I would have started at 8-9 weeks like I did with Kubo, however, she was 16ish weeks when I adopted her.It is going to take many, many, many repetitions for her to realise the fun isn't outside our bubble, but rather, in it 💗I stayed in a low stimulus area where she could see people walking by, but just far enough away that she could still make great choices.It was a super session that was ended on a high.Proud of this little dog 😍#kelpiecross #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Setting up for my 10.30am puppy class this morning.While I'm getting organised, Kubo and Piper are required to chill on their beds.We will do some fun stuff shortly, but I need to concentrate on getting my class things organised first... and do this post... 😃Teaching your dog to just chill is a crucial part of foundation training.My dogs are relaxed and waiting. They are entertained by watching people walk past - Kubo is solid, but sometimes Piper thinks she needs to go join in... 🙄🤣Teaching them the value of place training means you can take your dog to pubs, restaurants, picnics - anywhere you go that is dog friendly.I love taking my dogs out 💗Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #kelpie #kelpiecross #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

This, most cheeky, devilish of all big ears is 7 months old tomorrow 💗I've had her 3 months. Rude almost racing into asshat phase, but it is what it is.Today her freedom has been rescinded. She's out for play, out for training, out for supervised free time, then crate or tie up. The change in her attitude this morning has been remarkable.By simply helping her to cool her jets, she's thinking, clear headed and much calmer.You can give freedom and privileges, but you can also rescind them.She's full throttle adolescent phase. She is going to test the waters. If she thinks she can get away with it, she is all in...It's my job to coach her along the way and keep her on track, without crushing her gloriously, stubborn, larger than life personality!!!Won't take me long... But I will need to draw on my bottomless well of patience. And wine... Lots of wine... 😳😍Take the time.Train your dog.#blackdog #kelpiecross #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Out and about this morning with these two glorious creatures.I was solo this morning as the darling husband had work.I took them up to St Ives and we had a run in the main dog area for a few minutes, then we leashed up and went off for an explore.We didn't just walk, we got on stuff, climbed over stuff, sniffed around - all the while being well mannered on lead.Don't be boring on walks.

Home from our fabulous vets - @belroseveterinaryhospital Piper had her heartworm vaccination and Kubo had all his vaccinations done.We are putting the dogs into kennels a couple of times this year.The first stay is for my daughter's wedding, the second is for a holiday with the darling husband 💗The kennel requires up to date vaccinations, so the dogs are done and vaccination records emailed to the kennel facility.Both dogs were given a clean bill of health, though Kubo could be a wee bit lighter 🙄...Piper did very well, though she let the Northern Beaches know she was 'here'. She is a little anxious at the vet, so that is something I will have to work on - popping in for weighing, treats and pats to change her mind and show her we love our vet 💕Take the time.Train your dogs.#blackdog#blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd#kelpie#kelpiecross #northernbeachespets#northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Out and about with these two this morning, before my 'pay as you go' classes.It was hot 🥵🔥🥵I was having a chat today with Kathy from @petacademites_dogdaycare re. our dogs and where their working circle or boundaries are.Kubo has a close boundary, while Piper seems to have one that is a little bigger.By boundary - I mean where they are happy ranging out away from you, then back in.It's not just about a boring walk when you are out with your dog 🙄It's about learning what they like, without suppressing their will to be with you.It takes time, patience and many, many, many hours of practice.Many, many, many repetitions.You have to build trust.You have to layer a solid foundation.Give your dog too much freedom... Repeating instructions - over and over... Ignoring your dog... Well - why would your dog want to come to you?Take the time.Train your dogs.#kelpiecross#blackdog #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

This little ripper helped me in puppy class this afternoon.It was Miss Trixie the glorious chocky Labrador's last class this afternoon.Piper came out to meet and greet and provide some distractions for her recall.Now - in all honesty - I thought Piper might be a bit full on... but she wasn't 😍She watched. She listened. She really tried hard. It was fascinating to watch her make awesome choices.Now little Trixie did too 💗. Her owner is amazing 😍All in all - it was a fabulous session 💗Take the time.Train your puppy.#puppyclass#puppy #puppytraining #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

This chick is going from strength to strength 💕Yesterday we took both dogs out. We came across a young, very well mannered puppy that was doing some training with her owner next to us - such a refreshing sight to see.When the puppy came up to the fence line, Piper was allowed to go and say hello sometimes.She did beautifully and recalled away each time. Sometimes I didn't want her to go up, I wanted her to stay in our bubble and she was equally amazing.Here we are in the main dog park at St Ives - no one was in it at this time, so we dropped the run line and just wandered. She stayed with us and when another person and dog came in, she looked and decided to stay within our bubble.We hugely rewarded her and left on a high.Notice we are testing her in low stimulus environments at the moment.You need to slowly build the foundation. Ensure it is rock solid before you add another layer.Where people go wrong is they are too impatient and rush it.Take the time.Train your dogs.#blackdog #kelpiecross #blackgsd #blackgermanshepherd #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...

Out and about today with these two 💕We had someone bring their dogs into the pen beside us today and Piper thought she'd try to run the fence line and bark like a complete feral 🙄I had other ideas. I put the lead on her and moved her away immediately.The person said it was ok, wasn't bothering her - I think she may have wanted to do some training around Piper being rude.I politely said she isn't allowed to run the fence line and bark like a feral.She lost the privilege of being off lead.We did some walking practise, engagement and when I could see she'd come back to her senses, her freedom was given again.This took about 5-6 minutes.She didn't go to the fence again, rather looked and came along with Kubo and I.Dogs learn through successful repetition.Had I let her continue the unwanted behaviour, that would have become the new normal for her.You need to coach and guide your dogs.Stay off the phone. Pay attention.Bad manners is not ok.Take the time.Train your dogs.#blackdog #blackgsd#blackgermanshepherd#kelpiecross#dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnorthernbeaches #northernbeachespets #northernbeachespuppies #northernbeaches #northernbeachesdogs ...
