Rescue dog highlight: Maxi with HAART.
View his profile or apply to adopt him through this link: https://haart.org.au/adopt/dogs/maxi-hd25-003/

Maxi is currently in foster care where he lives with another dog and has been attending our pack walks. Here is what his foster carer has said about him:
I have had the pleasure of looking after little Maxi, while he waits for his forever home. He is a very anxious dog but so loving once he meets and feels safe with people. We have built up his confidence with most things but people are still a little scary at first. He loves playing with other dogs and snuggling in for a cuddle at night. Maxi is very intelligent and likes to learn new tricks. He loves playing especially in water. He likes a good chew, antlers are his favourite and enjoys a puppachino down his local cafe. He is always eager for a belly rub and knows how to give puppy-dog eyes to get what he wants.
Maxi enjoys camping, paddleboarding, short walks in the bush (the more to smell the better), he loves running around in the sea and chasing seaweed, and loves catching little bugs and the frogs (then letting them go).

Pippa was struggling to settle in her crate so I went to help her family troubleshoot the issue. When Pippa went into the crate she would get a food treat. This created anticipation for Pippa as she was waiting for the next one.
We worked on entering and exiting the crate without food and increasing the time before her exit.
While her family and I were talking about next steps, Pippa took herself into the crate to rest. This was a first for her and a huge win!

Here is the video from last weeks walk 😊

To get the most out of your dog walk, include as much mental challenge and stimulation as you can. A great way to do this is to structure the walk to include time walking in heel and time to sniff and explore.

New service alert! For a limited time, I am offering 5x 1-hour private dog training sessions for $500.
The aim of these sessions is to meet weekly or fortnightly to build foundational skills and/or address behaviour issues. The 1:1 training will start at the dog's home, and can include walks locally or to other areas. These sessions are available on either Saturdays or Sundays for those living around the Manduarah and Rockingham areas.
If you or someone you know is interested in this service, please give me a call on 0451 789 160 to book or email [email protected].

It’s official! Eli is joining the Leader of the Pack family 🎉🎉
Eli has been in foster with us since June and we have been training and integrating him into our pack. Like many dogs in rescue, Eli had a rough start and requires ongoing training and behaviour modification. We are so proud of him and the progress he has made in the last few months. Welcome to the family!

The group dog walk is ON at the salt lakes this Saturday, 18 October at 8:00am.
The car park along Safety Bay Road fills up quickly but there is parking along the verge across the road.
Please comment below if you plan on attending with your dog.

Walking two dogs can be tricky, especially if they are dog reactive and had limited lead training.
Bostik and Luna have recently been adopted and their new guardian is cracking on with their training and doing an amazing job! If you can believe it this was our first session!
I highly recommend that each dog be lead trained separately and to include short heel training sessions with both dogs.

Got a dog behaviour problem and you're not sure what to do?
Start with the basics. Make sure your dog can sit with you saying the command only ONCE. If your dog pulls on the lead, work on lead skills. Practice recall on a long lead until you have 100% recall success. Teach your dog to stay on dog bed until you release them. Establish a "leave it" cue.
Having the basics in place first will make working on the tougher behaviour issues easier and in many cases will already have reduced the problem behaviour. We need to walk before we run.

This sweet boy is Ralph as a puppy, only a couple of months old, then 4 months later as an adolescent. I worked with Ralph and his family to set him up with foundation skills and behaviours especially around their toddler. During our second session we fine tuned a couple of things and addressed pretty typical adolescent behaviours. There is so much to cover during the first year of a dogs life, which is why I include two private training sessions in my puppy package.
