Happy 5th birthday, Mojo! 🥳🐾

Today we’re celebrating 🐶Mojo’s big day, plus it was 🐶Banjo’s 12th birthday last week and 😻Jaxon’s too — he’s turning 17 somewhere around now, so we made it a party for everyone! 🥰

Happy birthday, ❤️Mojo🎉. My sensitive, independent, full-of-personality Kelpie boy. Life with you has taught me so much, and I wouldn’t have you any other way. 🥰

The birthday🎂"cake" recipe includes: BBQ steak, shredded chicken, pumpkin, blended chicken heart, roo mince, Greek yoghurt, egg and chicken neck… with a chicken nugget for a little birthday extra 😂

Grommet’s birthday is next month, so we get to do it all again. 💙🐾

Do you celebrate your animals’ birthdays? Tell me I’m not the only one organising parties and making special cakes! 🎂🐾

Got a dog with big feelings? Maybe they’re reactive on walks. Maybe they’re anxious around people. Maybe they’re over-excited, can’t settle, or have arrived at the teen-dog stage with a lot of 📢opinions and ❌👂selective hearing.

You don’t need to dull your 🐶🪄 dog’s spark to have a calmer life together. But you do need to understand what’s going on and have a plan that fits your actual dog, home and goals💜🐾.

I’m Susie, and I’ve been working with dogs since 2013. King’s K9 Dog Training is here to help Geelong dogs with big feelings to build calmer walks, less stress and ✨better bonds.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

Sniffing trails, exploring new corners, and hanging out with mates. Exactly as it should be.

Management and training are not the same thing. You need both.

Management stops the dog from practising the behaviour you don't want.

Training teaches the dog what to do instead.

A baby gate is management. Keeping the leash on for visitors is management. Creating distance from another dog is management.

Place work, recall practice, lead manners and reliable verbal cues — that's training.

Management buys you breathing room. Training builds real-world reliability.

Only manage? Nothing changes.

Only train? The dog keeps rehearsing the old pattern in between.

RIP Robert Cox 💔

Today started with tears, when I arrived at Hannah's for our second round of herding sessions for the boys, and heard the awful news of his passing.

During yesterday's session, both Mojo & Grommet had magical sessions on the sheep. I thought to myself that I cannot wait for Rob to see how amazing they are on the sheep now, as we practised our homework from his last herding clinic in November, with an awesome Hannah tweak...my mind was blown, and I could wait for him to see the transformation himself.

My heart goes out to Paivi Cox Torronen and his family, sending you so much love.

Today, the world lost a true gentleman, a herding legend, and a phenomenal teacher.

Going through my notes tonight... here are some of my favourite Rob Quotes:

• Instinct & Understanding = clarity.
• Work the sheep, not the dog.
• Embrace the mistakes, keep chilled… or the dog will get frustrated and shut down or get real naughty.
• The more you leave them alone, the more certain they become.
• Dogs can't do anything wrong if you're watching the sheep.
• Don't flap until you need it
• Ah/no's mean you are in the wrong place!
• You want them wild, then start adding conditions to manage - embrace the chaos.
• Baby talk feeds anxiety in the dog.
• Own the fu***ng ring!

These two beautiful souls have been a huge part of the journey to becoming the dog trainer I am today.

Every dog has a story, and every dog has lessons to share if we just take the time to listen and observe.

8 Dogs, and 1 pole!

All the fun we can have dog adventuring 💜

Habit stacking at its finest.

Instead of the dogs getting in the way while we do out workouts from matte we are working on their place bed command... and, utilising the rebounder in the process for Mojo😝.

Banjo needs the added support of the back-tie, and they are getting rewarded during reps.

So, while we do our physical workout, the boys are getting a mental workout.

We love this quote from Jay Jack .

It reminds us that our dogs are not furry humans; they are canids with specific biological needs.

If your herding breed isn't allowed to use their brain, or your reactive dog isn't given structure, they will find their own (often destructive) outlets.

Our training focuses on giving your dog purpose and fulfilment, not just obedience. That's the secret to a truly happy dog.
