How do you fulfil your dog’s natural desires? 🐾

Our dogs were bred with instincts and drives that go far beyond a daily walk. Sniffing, chasing, digging, scavenging, problem-solving, herding, retrieving, guarding… these are all natural behaviours that help dogs feel fulfilled.

When we meet our dogs’ genetic needs, we often see:
✨ Less unwanted behaviour
✨ Better focus and engagement
✨ More confidence
✨ Happier, calmer dogs

The key isn’t trying to stop natural behaviours, it’s giving dogs safe and appropriate ways to express them.

So, how do you help your dog tap into their instincts? 👇

STUDENT REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Diverse Dogs Dog Trainer Certification Program has been exactly what I've needed. I had studied Cert 4 Animal Behaviour with one of the main providers in Australia, but I wasn't gaining the confidence or experience I needed to feel competent in the industry. I needed something more hands-on, real-life, and in-depth and I've definitely found that through this course.
Tim shares real life footage of his every day sessions, has weekly live Q&A's, and invites us to shadow him and his trainers giving valuable insight into the realities of a dog trainer. He provides extremely knowledgeable, in-depth information backed by proven methods through his years of experience. He genuinely cares about your success and provides dedicated support to help achieve it.

This course has far exceeded my expectations.

Trainer Tip:

To teach your puppy or dog not to jump. Do something they dont expect. Instead of backing away or pushing them down with frustration, just calmly step forward into them and say no. As they get down take another step back. Dont remove them fron being able to make another mistake. The mistakes are part of the learning. When they choose not to jump or other alternative behaviour like sit or down, reward and praise them. This combination creates clarity for the dog that jumping up is not successful and should be avoided, and not jumpihg is successful and results in yum yums and good vibes. They will do more of the behaviour that leads to the positive outcome. This creates clarity whilst remaining calm and you dont need a lead on the dog to apply.

Bungee leads can sometimes make walks more enjoyable as they are designed to reduce tension in the lead when walking. But here is the thing. That tention that your removing is actually a communication point for your dog if, when used correctly and intentionally can provide your dog with very clear communication and even strong reinforcement to improve the behaviour your struggling with. When a dog feels pressure, and then the pressure is removed the dog can link the behaviour they are doing at the time as the cause of the pressure being removed. Bungee cords can make this very unclear to a dog with pressure on and off constsntly with no clear information about what they are doing that either causes it or turns it off. This can build frustration, increase lead pulling, and even contribute to reactivity and aggression. Avoid things that are designed to create short tern relief and train your dog how to avoid discomfort and earn reward in the first place. We can help you learn how.

Did you know people who let their dog sleep in the bed with them have deeper and more restfull sleeps. Dogs and humans have evolved together over thousands of years and dogs provide us with early warnings if there is danger about and provide protection. Plus its just a nice feeling to have your dog snuggled beside you.
However........ if your dog has a belief that they own the bed and they are allowing you in it, then thats a problem and normally a sign of a deeper relationship dynamic which could result in resource guarding or aggression if or when you try to move them. If you can tell your dog to get down off the bed and they listen to you without too much drama then your ok. If they flat out refuse or if they growl at you when you try to move them thats a big problem and you should seek professional help immediately.
Problems in this area are normally created in the dogs early years and can be avoided by training the dog to jump on and off the bed ny command and only allowimg the dog in the bed occassionally, with the norm being they sleep in their crate. If you do that well then, when the dogs a little older (past adolescence) you shouldnt have any drama with it. Happy Friday 😀

Before Diverse Dogs, I was a dog handler with Qld Corrective Services and also bred and trained German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois for police work under the prefix Von Praxx Kennels. Rippa was produced from my first litter. His mum and dad were both my personal dogs and the foundation pair for a breeding program that spanned over 10years. Rippa was an incredible puppy and the first of many from Von Praxx that have served or still currently serving in Police and Military agencies across Australia. Rip led the best life a dog like him could live and was an incredible asset to his handler and QPS. He protected and served his community and I am incredibly proud to have played my small part in his journey..My condolences to Sam and the QLD Police for his loss. RIP Rippa.

NLP Training for Tim 🤩

Tomorrow I start 6 days of NLP Practitioner training with the incredible .coach from Advanced Mind Academy.

This one isn't dog-related. Or at least, not directly.

For those wondering what NLP even is — NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. In simple terms, it's the study of how our thoughts, language, and behaviour are wired together, and how we can change that wiring. It looks at the subconscious patterns that drive how we feel, react, communicate, and show up in the world — and gives you tools to shift the ones that aren't serving you.

If you've followed my work for a while, you'll know I'm obsessed with the impact the human has on the dog. The dog at the end of the lead is so often a mirror of the person holding it — our patterns, our trauma, our subconscious programming, our biases. When we build a stronger awareness of ourselves, we show up more grounded, more regulated, more confident. We become better leaders for our dogs, for ourselves, and for the people around us.

I've been a certified breathwork coach for a while now, and that work has shifted how I help clients in ways I didn't expect. Breath gets people into their body. NLP, from what I understand of it so far, helps them rewire what's running underneath.

What I'm most curious about though is the mirror.

What is our relationship dynamic with our dogs actually reflecting back to us about our own internal world? The dog that won't settle. The dog that pulls. The dog that's reactive. How much of that is the dog — and how much of that is us?

So while this training isn't dog-related on paper, the crossover is going to be huge. It adds another layer to what I bring to clients in the dog space, and opens up the possibility of stepping into self-development coaching down the track too.

Excited to dive in.

Today I met Arlo and his owners for a consultation about his reactivity toward other dogs. We assessed his reactive behaviour and talked about the process we use to help reactive dogs. We also spent time coaching his owner how to lay the fundamental foundations for him, that will enable him to progress as we continue. Arlo is a star and Im looking forward to continued sessions with him 🙂
