Roughly 7 months ago I saw this face on the RSPCA website. I was struck by how sincere his expression was at the time and hoped he would find the bestest home.

Fast forward a few months and I actually meet Lucius and his wonderful family. I’m so happy he found a great home with dedicated pet parents.

Young Lucius is a sensitive dog and very alert and clever. He is currently working on some big emotions as he navigates his second fear period.

Rubbish bins look different, plastic bags sneak up on you and people and dogs are out to get you. It’s a tough time.

There are things we can do to help our young dogs. We can stay cool and calm, give them plenty of positive support, provide distance and keep life fun, safe and simple for a while.

Chakotay is working on his confidence out in the busy world. He is worried about bikes, scooters, prams and other dogs.

He may be displaying reactive behaviours however his reactivity does not define him. He is a gorgeous, gentle, funny fella who loves to learn.

With some direction and support he will work through these big emotions and continue to be more than his reactivity.

No two dogs are ever the same however we can make assumptions about different breeds and how they should behave.

Louie is working on Resource Guarding

Domino is working on Canine Compulsion

Freddie is working on Separation Issues

Lucius is working on Dog Reactivity

Artie is working on Environmental Over
- arousal.

All are fabulous dogs who are doing amazing work and making little meaningful steps everyday.

So science sometimes takes a while to catch up with what we already know in our hearts.

Patting your dog not only reduces stress but prepares you for upcoming stress.

Another excuse to snuggle your dog today!

The amazing thing about our pets isn't just the wonderful relationships we get to have with them.

This is Pepper. She is a gorgeous mix breed girl maybe with some GSD in that mix. She is smart and energetic. Her family live on a property and have done a wonderful job with enrichment and socialisation. Pepper has so much energy it’s bubbling over and being misdirected into reactivity toward other dogs and she has also become fixated on sticks in all shapes and sizes.

Her behaviour is telling us what’s happening in her nervous system. Pepper needs our assistance to learn to calm herself.

If your dog becomes fixated on things like shadows, reflections, balls, flies, sticks never punish them or treat it like a game, instead please address the behaviour immediately and reach out to a behaviour professional or behavioural vet to discuss your next steps.

Looking for a fun day out in the Braidwood bush with your dog?

Why not try Mantrailing!
What is Mantrailing?
Mantrailing is a non-competitive dog sport designed for dogs and directed by dogs. We teach your dog how to follow trails to find a hidden person using their natural ability to detect scent?

What's the big deal with Mantrailing?
Dogs absolutely love it! Dogs find following scent trails highly rewarding and working with our dogs doing what they love creates a special bond.

Can any dog learn Mantrailing?
Absolutely! This is suitable for all dogs big and small, trained or not trained, fearful or reactive.

What will I need to participate?
One handler per dog (family welcome). Y-front harness, a car, outdoor clothing and the most delicious snacks your dog has ever tasted.

Please note each dog is worked separately. This means between trails your dog needs to be happy to sit in your car parked nearby. It also means this is perfect for fearful or reactive dogs that have previously been excluded from participating in other dog sports.

Next course 13 February. Book now as places are limited.
