🐾 New puppy? These are some of the guidelines that are followed when a puppy joins our household.

Read them in our blog:
https://www.inspiredpets.com.au/post/little-gremlins

🌟 Having structure and predictability is important for both canines and humans. It helps everyone adjust and working around a schedule of sorts can set you up for success.
🎓 Taking your puppy to a quality Puppy School with a qualified Force Free Positive Reinforcement Trainer or having private sessions with them is extremely valuable.

🐶 Getting a puppy soon? join our next group class at the Ultimate Puppy School or book in a Private Puppy Session today!
💡Prevention is key and working with puppies from 8 weeks old creates strong foundations.
👉 Puppies should not be leaving their mum before 8 weeks of age‼️

😬 how do your furry family members teeth look 🪥🦷

🦷 Dental Health Month Wrap-Up
Healthy teeth start at home. Regular brushing, dental chews and special dental diets can all help keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

But home care isn’t a substitute for regular veterinary check-ups. Professional dental examinations and cleaning can identify problems that brushing alone can’t.
As Dental Health Month wraps up, it’s a great time to make sure your pet’s dental health is on track. 🐾

If your pet is due for a dental check-up, why not book an appointment with your veterinarian?

At Inspired Canine, we meet you and your dog where you are in your journey and help you get where you need to be.

This is one of our favourite messages about what we do! We have used this quote for a number of years now 🐾
It’s always been on our website and on our client materials because we want everyone to know that we see each human and dog as individuals - and that matters.

It is important to us as it’s a personal representation of this business.

We put a lot of thought into what we write and what we communicate because we care 🧡

We are always excited about training and helping animals and the evolution training takes to become more welfare focused each day. Not just with dogs but all animals, horses, birds, cats, zoo captives, farm animals, humans…

🤔Want to know more about force free, fear free, effective modern training?
We don’t use punishment.
We don’t use leash pops
We don’t use corrections
We don’t use a a “no” “uh ah” marker or cue
We don’t use tools
We don’t use loud noises or startling

Why?

Because we don’t have to.

📚Inspired Canine has sound knowledge of behaviour sciences, learning theory and its application in training. We fully understand the four quadrants. We follow the science and the results ☺️

We hold membership with professional bodies who advocate for force free fear free positive reinforcement training:
🐶Association of Pet Dog Trainers Australia APDT are dedicated to force free training methods
🐶Pet Professional Guild Australia PPGA advocate for force free training and pet care

We are mortified by the public announcement the 👎 Pet Dog Trainers of Australia PDTA have made supporting punishment and painful tools and are disappointed in those who support them.
❌Why would they support prong collars, check chains, e-collars, sq**rt bottles, loud noises, high pitch noises, anything that is used to inflict pain, fear, intimidation, intended discomfort or punishment when they aren’t necessary? The use of these things is a facade for ego, power and control. They are old fashioned and times have changed.

There is an alternative that works and works effectively so why continue choosing these adversive methods and tools?

✅There is a better way.

It’s ok to change.
It’s ok ditch this and choose force free and fear free instead - because the evidence is there that it works, so why still choose to do the wrong thing.

We are very grateful for Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin for her amazing artwork and advocacy for the weflare and treatment of all animals (including humans) we appreciate you 🧡

You DON’T need corrections to teach your to walk with you comfortably on leash - or any other behaviour!
 
There is NOTHING ethical about correction or punishment when training your dog.
Balanced training and compulsion training is old fashioned and unnecessary!
 
Here are 2 of our recent graduates from our Loose Leash Walking group class.
Our other beautiful canine is not in a photo but has the sweetest personality.
 
We appreciate them choosing fear free, force free training!
 
We are running a new course soon join our waitlist or enrol in one of our other classes.
