I am currently half way through the Decoding Aggression and Reactivity conference and absolutely loving every minute of it. 🥰🐶

So many fantastic speakers and quite a few from Australia. GO AUSSIES!!!

I have loved how most speakers dive deep into the underlying cause of the behaviour not just the behaviour symptoms such as barking, lunging, snarling, snapping or biting.

In order to help a dog with their reactivity or aggression we truly need to understand the root cause of the behaviour.

I am looking forward to putting all this learning into my behaviour modification plans.

Need help with your dogs reactivity to dogs/humans or other animals. Call Sam 0410 498 290 or private message through messenger.

LOVING AND LOSING A PET.😢

An insight to losing Rusty.

​As a mother, I was so happy to share my love of animals with my kids. I wanted them to experience that unconditional love and deep emotional connection. ♥️

Rusty became a protector, a best friend, a confidant when they were sad, and the ultimate playmate.

​When we received his bladder tumor diagnosis, I was completely gutted. Although I knew deep down that something wasn’t right, the confirmation hit so hard. With that diagnosis came months of realizing our days together were closing in. For me, the grieving started that very day. There were moments I found myself crying uncontrollably just looking at him.

​When it finally came time to say goodbye, it was made so much harder because I wasn’t just navigating my own shattering grief—I had to hold space for my three children, too.

​Of all the animals I have loved and lost, losing Rusty has been the hardest of all. I realize now it’s because I had to be the rock for my kids, helping them navigate their own deep sorrow while dealing with my own.

​For anyone else walking this heartbreaking path, below is a great article on how to navigate saying goodbye to a family pet and how to explain it to your children.

The superpower every dog needs:
A solid "settle." 🐾

​We often focus on teaching our dogs to do things—sit, stay, come, drop. But one of the most valuable skills you can ever teach them is how to do absolutely nothing. 😍🐶🙌

​Miss Jenga had a recent veterinary visit and put her training to the test. Instead of pacing, whining, or stressing out in the waiting room, she practiced her settle behavior and just chilled.

​Teaching your pup to relax in a variety of environments (especially high-stress ones like the vet, busy cafes, or parks) is a game-changer. It builds emotional resilience, lowers cortisol, and honestly? It makes outings so much more enjoyable.

​It is such a pleasure to own a dog that is happy to relax in that environment. So proud of you, Jenga! ❤️
