DidYouKnow that rabies kills at least one person in the world every nine minutes?
More than 70 000 people die from rabies each year and about 95% of these deaths occur in Africa and Asia, according to the World Organisation for Animal Health.

If you’re a pet owner, you must have your dogs and cats vaccinated every year to protect both humans and animals against this deadly disease.

The “Nine Tiles” Doorway Exercise

Practice this at every entrance and exit.
Get them used to the idea of waiting for you at any threshold.
Do this at the main gate too.

The Nine Tiles is a pattern, not just a rule — it provides visual structure and builds trust through predictability.

Dora Pelizzari, I hope this helps 😁

The Concept of Nine Tiles

I introduced the concept of Nine Tiles during an early morning home training session.
This was an exercise these dogs had never done before. Two older Pitbulls and a young, very energetic Dutch Shepherd puppy.

By mid-afternoon, I was sent a video of the dogs patiently waiting at an open gate. 🤩🥳

The Nine Tiles exercise is a leadership-based pattern I teach to everyday clients to restore calm and control at home.

It’s simple but powerful—
You create a physical “zone” at your doorway, defined by an invisible boundary (your nine tiles of space).

⸻

How It Works:

Your dogs learn that this zone belongs to you—it’s a no-interference space.
They can sit, lie down, or remain calmly behind this boundary while you:
• Greet guests
• Receive deliveries
• Move freely in and out without chaos and with safety

⸻

It’s About Respect, Not Restriction:

This isn’t about punishment—it’s about teaching:
• Spatial pressure

• Calm waiting

• Respect for personal space

• Safety

You’re guiding your dogs on how you want them to meet and greet people—without frantic competition for the door or gate.

⸻

Key Insight:

Boundaries create freedom and safety - calm starts with clear, consistent structure.

⸻

Nine Tiles Practice:
• Where in your home would the Nine Tiles practice make the biggest difference?
• How can you clearly define your “zone” at that spot (mentally or physically)?
• What calm behaviours would you like your dog to practice behind that boundary?

==================

Calm isn’t magic — it’s practiced. ✨

This simple exercise, The Nine Tiles, helps dogs learn patience, respect, and calmness at the door.

No yelling. No chaos. Just clear, consistent boundaries.

It’s not about restricting your dog. It’s about giving them the structure they need to relax and feel safe.

Boundaries create freedom.

Where could your “Nine Tiles” be at home?

Gee Wizz Bizz!

Bizz is a fiesty little 5 month old Toy Fox Terrier who’s here for socialising and to learn the about dog agility in our AgilityConnect training program.

All of his interactions are fun and play. Here he’s interacting with the Papillon siblings, Leo and Flutter and he has no problem keeping up with their boisterous play and fast pace even at this tender young age.

For his foundation training, we focus on the fun aspect of life. It’s all about growing his self esteem and confidence. Nothing is serious or pressured at all - for the dogs and the handlers 🤩 🐶
