🎥 I’d be ecstatic if what I share with you all in this video was to wind up reducing the number of dogs that need the help of my business, and those of my close colleagues.
🔢 I reviewed my 200 most recent training enquiry forms this morning, with a focus on identifying those that involved dogs with a certain range of issues.
Amongst those 200 were 68 dogs that all had 2 out of 3 things in common.
🧠 If you want to avoid the majority of behavioural problems with your dog - puppy, juvenile, rescue, pedigree, and mongrel alike - then there’s a powerful lesson you can take from this video.
✅ What I share with you in this post is not some big secret. In fact, all professional dog trainers worth their salt will tell you the same thing.
🔊
I took the time annotate it, so feel free to watch it with the sound off - but you’re really interested though I suggest you turn on the sound and tune in.
🙏 If you know somebody with a puppy, young dog, a dog that’s displaying some problem behaviour - feel free to tag them or share this with them.
🗣This may be the message that they need to hear.
⚙️ If this strikes a note with you about your situation with your dog, I sincerely hope that you take action to put yourself and your dog in a position of advantage moving forward.

🧰 A muzzle is an important part of a K9 handler’s kit. Dogs working in many types of K9 roles need to be comfortable wearing a muzzle.
⚠️ It helps to keep those in close contact with the dog safe from a live bite, and to help manage the dog.
💭 As an example, if the dog is to board a helicopter, jump out of a plane, or need to move through a heavily populated area that is very dynamic, then the muzzle can be a great go to choice.
👊 Muzzles can also be used as an offensive implement by the dog when trying to subdue a bad guy - there are muzzles made with metal bars along the front of the nose section, and they pack a real punch.
🎥 This is a short clip taken last week of Boogie and I doing some muzzle familiarisation.
⏰ We’re now starting to get some good duration in this, exercise and it’s a nice stable situation.
🏋️♀️ I’ll be progressing to actually fitting the muzzle in the next week’s training.
🧠 For those of you that are pet owners, teaching a dog to wear a muzzle is a great exercise with a ton of potential to be useful in the real world.
💪 If enough of you hit me up in the comments below I’ll consider putting together a tutorial video on some pro tips about how you can condition your dog to wear a muzzle - even if you can’t afford to buy one.

CSI is proud to announce that Jackie Abikhair is FINALLY coming to Melbourne to teach a 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 at our training center.
Jackie has spent a ton of time and effort learning internationally from some great influences in the scent detection space.
As a result of all that research and learning Jackie has put together a system that systematically builds drive and motivation to search in even the most sensitive of dogs, all while shaping the focused response (freeze-alert) at source.
In this seminar you'll learn how Jackie starts, progresses and problem solves with the dogs she works with.
The majority of this two-day seminar will be spent working dogs, with some time each day dedicated to covering the theoretical aspects of detection.
Regardless of the level of training experience you and/or your dog have, this event is suitable for you...and maybe even your dog!
Usually events like this cost upwards of $350, but we've worked hard to make this event as accessible as possible, to as many as possible.

🧠 Not a lot will show and teach you more about your dog than helping them acquire a new skill.
🤪 It’s also a ton of fun.
🥽 Given Boogie’s intended future role, it’s really likely that he’s going to have to wear eye protection.
🥇 This is our very first session introducing these #rexspecs to him.
💭 If I was to offer coaching to someone that provided me this footage, I’d have suggested to end the session much earlier - it’s the first exposure, and there is always more time.
💪 I pushed it a little further than I normally would because he just kept giving me a little more…this is one of those calls that you can really only make well if you know your dog well, and you spend a ton of time training him.
🎯 This is one of those exercises that we do with an eventual end goal of producing habituation - and eventually a completely neutral emotional association with the equipment and it’s fitting.
🎾 Down the line a ways Boogie has to do more than just wear these goggles though - he has to function in them doing a variety of tasks, with zero thought to the fact he has them on.
🎯 I’ll be playing with a bunch of scenarios and training options for how to keep the progression to our end goal, but for right now this session shows our work is right on track.

CSI are excited to be hosting Jackie Abikhair of Abi K9 to teach her upcoming scent work workshop here in Melbourne at our training center.
Jackie has invested a lot of time and effort to be in a position to now share her own take on how to start, progress and problem solve dogs in scent work.
This event will be highly practical, with some theory underpinning the work that will be undertaken with the dogs working.

🥶 Man it’s cold in Melbourne today. 📧 I had to swing past the office this morning and knock out some emails, as well as finish a couple of reports. 🔥 I threw the heater on, but I knew from the way the dogs cuddled up closely on the couch that it wasn’t doing too […]

💊 It’s a hard pill for some folks to swallow, but it’s 100% true. 🚫 If you punish the very behaviours that allow you to infer the dog is feeling anxious in the first place, then using the absence of that behaviour in that context as a basis to claim that the dog is no […]

🎉 Congratulations – you’ve produced a training outcome with your dog that you’re happy with. 🐕 The truth is that for the most part, most dogs will learn basic things pretty well in most training programs. 🧠 After all, the ability of the dog to adapt and learn in the human world is perhaps the main […]
