Not every dog walks into your life to simply sit, shake, and fit neatly into your routine. Some arrive to expose your patience.Your consistency.Your discipline.Your emotions.Your leadership.Your lifestyle. A difficult dog can force you to slow down, communicate better, become calmer under pressure, and finally create the structure you’ve been missing, not just for them… but for yourself too. And somewhere along the journey, you realise the dog was never “giving you a hard time.” They were showing you where growth was needed. That’s why the relationship between a human and a dog can be so powerful. It’s not obedience. It’s transformation. The people willing to lean into that process often come out stronger, calmer, more accountable, and more connected than ever before. Sometimes the dog that challenged you the most… becomes the one you’re most grateful for. 🖤

I know this isn't related to training but one thing I'm ever so grateful as Buddy's owner is finding an amazing Babysitter if we should go away somewhere. I found Mel through Madpaws babysitter service. She is down in Kiama. She has been invested with Buddy's training during his time so when he stays with her she can keep it going. I get regular updates throughout the day what his up to and as you can see his having a ball, and even though she is missing her snuggles on the lounge with him she is respecting his training journey and is encouraging him to be on place on his day bed. When his with Mel I can relax knowing his very much loved.

Just checking in with everyone — do you feel like you’ve got the structure and understanding to go home and practise what we’re working on each day?” I want clients to go home not confused if anyone is feeling confused or unsure I want to fix this. Lex :-)
