STILL TIME TO EMAIL JO TO GET THE ZOOM LINK
Let’s talk dogs—the real truth about dogs. 🐶
We’re hosting a casual, unrecorded Zoom chat for trainers and dog guardians who want to dive into the most up-to-date, tested, and ethical ways of working with dogs. This won’t be a lecture; it’s a conversation. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts, ideas, and questions.
Why this conversation matters:
It’s a huge responsibility to guide families and their dogs. But if we don’t truly understand where a dog is coming from—if we can’t recognise their truth—we can’t honestly say we’re helping them.
It’s not enough to study the 4 quadrants, operant conditioning, desensitisation, and counterconditioning. Until we can read a dog’s emotions and listen to what they’re communicating, we’re missing the heart of it all.
That’s where Sarah Fisher’s ACE Freework and Kim Brophey’s ethological approach shine—offering dog-centred, choice-based, and truly ethical ways forward. These aren’t just “nice ideas”; they’re modern, science-backed, and deeply respectful of who dogs really are.
✨ So grab your favourite cuppa, coffee, or cheeky glass of wine, get cosy, and join us for what promises to be an eye-opening conversation.
📅 When: Tuesday 2nd September 6.30pm AEST
📍 Where: Zoom (please email or private message your email address for the link)

If you can’t make it because of time zones or scheduling, just email me at [email protected]. Let me know what time works for you, and we’ll make sure you don’t miss out—because this conversation is too important not to have.
Looking forward to seeing you there,

It’s a little disappointing to see more interest from overseas than from Aussies on this vital topic. 🇦🇺
Australian trainers, the rest of the world is embracing a true paradigm shift in the way we work with dogs. If we don’t open our minds—and our hearts—to a kinder, more ethical approach, we risk being left behind. This isn’t just a trend; it’s the future of dog care and training. Let’s lead with compassion, understanding, and science.
Your dog’s behaviour is communication.When you learn to listen to the whispers, your dog won’t have to shout...
