Dig Dog Training

What did we notice? Why did we film it?

Sako started barking way more than usual and this twitch may give us a sign to why. After spotting this twitch at Growly Dog Club, we’re gonna chat with our vet team to check if she accidentally hurt herself while being silly with her siblings. Being sore can make her way more sensitive to the environment, which for Sako, means yelling about it. Record video for your vets, it helps!

Sometimes you gotta multitask. ☕ 🐕🤸‍♀️

Don't you remember being a teenager? The feelings? The chaos? The… poor choices? 👀 Don’t forget to have fun, find what they like, use their brains and get them out in nature more. 💛

PPS. I can help! I love the teenage terrors and have a couple spots for day training left - regular spots can make a huge difference and take some of the chaos off your plate - Daisy is a real testament to that, she a smart kid.

Hey! I posted this on a FB group and realised I haven’t introduced myself for a while. I’m Alex! I like puzzling behaviour problems, adhd friendly training solutions, building irl dog communities, and not making you feel bad for cancelling if you’re sick. My current fave thing is taking your terrible teen out for walk and trains to give you a break and help meet their needs, and teaching people that going slow will make things go way faster in the long run. 💚

I’ve got some space to take on a couple day training clients - I’m back after my body fell apart summer and I couldn’t work as much due to the heatwaves. TBH, dogs didn’t wanna either. Let me take your dog out and get some beans out in the right ways, and add those skills in there while having a good time. Perfect if you’re too overwhelmed, frustrated, busy, sick, tired.

Don’t want to learn how to use a long line rn? Or click treat real good? Totally fair - I can take some weight off your brain, get your dog out, and chip away and practice the good stuff, helping speed up your goals. Message me 🐾🦮🐕‍🦺✨

Vote #1 for for Pet of the Year Awards. She’s really the one who pushed me to learn more to do better by her. She stresses me out sometimes (cough snake bite cough) and still impresses me (who recalled off kangaroos last week?? 👀) - there’s six days to vote - you can vote for free daily or donate some $ to RPCA for extra votes (double vote atm!) link to vote in bio xo 😘

I'm so proud of my first assistance dog team with passing their PAT! Team Olive has worked so damn hard over the last 12 months, and I am so grateful they trusted me to help them succeed. No matter what silly homework challenge I threw their way. The dedication, practice, and a bit of trust the process has really paid off. Celebrate Team Olive with me 'cause they deserve it!

Remember and ignore assistance dogs (or really, most dogs out and about.)

We've been busy here at Dig Dog - I feel like I am only catching my breath, and we're in mid-April. How.

Thank you to whoever voted for me for the and Bendigo Business Excellence Awards for "Community Minded, Customer Focused, Professional Services" - I work hard to fight the imposter and the overwhelm to show up for those who are showing up for their pups every day, and I am honoured to be building a little community. So, thank you. 😙

BRB, I'll be heading to Sydney to attend Start to Finish- Success in Separation Anxiety and Aggression Cases. I'm excited to get inspired by some learning. This year has been massive, between fires, heatwaves, complex cases, and my body just not behaving. I'm tired. So a nerdy holiday! Keen to sharpen some skills with other professionals and learn from and for the big two.

Pls be patient with replies (I deleted socials for the doom-scroll break). Email me, and I'll be in touch soon. 🐾

Got a few spots for Growly Dog Club this week left. Invite-only group walk for silly teens, grumpy grown-ups, and more. Slow and steady friendship and skill building, for dogs and their humans. Celebrate the kinda-chill weather with me! DM me for the link or book online.
