Private 1:1 with this adorable puppy today after group classes.

Meet Whiskey the adorable Cocker Spaniel Puppy.

We are working on normal but not acceptable puppy behaviours.

Jumping and biting the main concerns. We are teaching him focus skills, setting boundaries around visitors and meal times. Teaching him impulse control and appropriate ways to interact and connect with his humans.

His guardians have some good training understanding and skills already and we are going to be creating a training schedule to get them the results they are trying to achieve.

I look forward to working more with this little baby. Look at that face! Such an angel! who would believe he is such a baby shark 😂

He also has an unusual fur pattern, the chocolate is a lot higher than the white. It will be interesting to see his adult coat.

Happy New Year!

I wish you and your pooches a happy and safe 2026.

We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to hearing how the pooches are progressing. Looking forward to meeting new dogs and working to make positive change for them and their families!

Don’t forget to take appropriate action to secure and keep your pets safe. Especially those that are storm phobic. It will be very difficult for them with the fireworks on tonight as well.

A great loss to the industry!

You might not know this woman, but your dog will.

Recently, Sarah Fisher passed away. If you're a dog professional, you're most likely in mourning. If you're not, you might not know her face. But she will have been instrumental in what you've done with your dogs.

Sarah's work across the canine and animal world cannot be understated. I have not personally done one of her courses, but every conversation and every talk I had with her filled me with a sense of vigour and peace.

She strongly advocated for observing dogs as they were, noticing their behaviour and physical needs. She was passionate about ACE Freework, an exercise in which a number of objects, surfaces, textures and enrichment toys are placed for the dog to explore. We've used variations of this in classes, workshops and training camps.

I cannot claim to know Sarah well. We only met twice, both at dog conferences. We sat together at breakfast one morning and talked about the state of the dog industry. This was in July.

Almost every dog trainer you follow on social media will have been influenced, directly or indirectly, by her work. She was a knowledgable waterfall, and every professional was downstream of her wisdom and knowledge. Her ethos is the same one we carry into Nosework classes - freedom, agency and choice. If you've worked with me, you've benefited from her.

She will be greatly missed, and my thoughts are with her family and closest friends.

Something to try for new year eve

My rescue dog Baxter has been terrified of fireworks since the day I brought him home. Every Fourth of July turned into a nightmare: him shaking under the bed, panting so hard I worried his heart would give out, and refusing to eat for days after. Last year was the worst: he broke through a window screen trying to escape the noise, resulting in a $300 vet bill, anxiety meds that made him a zombie, and me sitting on the bathroom floor with him for six hours straight while he trembled in my arms. This year, I was dreading it all over again. Then, two days ago, I saw a random tip in a pet group (I've been on there lately, ordering handmade dog beds and treats from amazing crafters). Someone posted about using tennis balls in the dryer to create white noise that masks fireworks. I thought it sounded absolutely insane, but I was desperate enough to try anything. So, tonight, before the fireworks started, I threw six tennis balls, an old sneaker, and a knotted towel into the dryer. I turned off the heat and let it run. The steady thumping sound filled the house, and I waited, holding my breath, for Baxter's usual panic to start. Nothing. The first firework went off; he lifted his head, looked around, and went back to sleep. I actually started crying. For the first time in three years, my dog is sleeping peacefully on July 4th instead of hiding and shaking. He's been passed out on the couch for two hours now, completely unbothered, while the neighborhood explodes around us. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones that save you. If your dog struggles tonight, try this; it might just change everything.
