When we were in Ipswich, we had some photos taken by our friend Tina, they are amazing.

You can never have too many photos of your dogs I believe.

28/10/2026

Started some brochures to advertise some of my seminars next year.

These are just the beginning, not completed but give you a sneak peek on some of the things I’m working towards

27/10/2026

We’ve been doing some nose work trials while we’ve been on the Gold Coast, Ipswich area and of course I had to buy photos, there is a limit of 10 I can put up. I love photos of my dogs but seeing these photos really helps a lot with seeing how my dog changes, how he works, posture when he finds the odour, how he leaves his nose there and then looks at me.

I love the progress photos but I just love photos of my dogs but paying the photographer not only helps them come back and support the trials that gives so much information about your dog

Couldn’t ask for a better backdrop to do our physio tonight and we have been a little slack but it’s raining heavily and we’ve been out exploring

We have been at Jondaryan woodshed, so lovely that unfortunately the off leash and the river or creek is kind of flooded that dogs are allowed on the grounds walking around

ARCHIE REHAB PART 3

BILATERAL HUMERAL INTRACONDYLAR FISSURE OPERATION

Week 3

** DISCLAIMER** this is based on my dog recovery, it is not a protocol. It is not for someone to follow. It’s based on how he was going, his progress and the fact that he is a performance dog and has done conditioning all his life and knows these exercise exercises.

The aim for this week was

• To put in active range of motion exercises for flexion and extension of the elbow, to improve his range of motion

• To keep improving the weight bearing on his left leg

• Help improve core strength as that does decreased when a dog has an operation

• Maintain his rear leg strength

• He still has his modalities of laser, accell and red light regularly

His walks can be increased now to 20 minutes but monitoring for fatigue, he will let me know though when he is tired most of the time

Titre testing

I thought I’d put a post up about this as I know people have asked me what it is when I have said I get my dogs titre tested instead of vaccinated every year or every three years. I used to get my dogs vaccinated yearly until a specialist told me to stop when my previous boy Jaxon had the odd seizure. From then on I got my dogs titre tested.

Kobie is nearly 6 and got vaccinated as a puppy and he’s just been retested and is still okay

Archie is nearly 4 and got vaccinated as a puppy and just got retested and he’ll get retested again next year.

I know there’s some that don’t do anything, but I’ve also met some people who have had to vaccinate their dogs yearly because the antibodies just are not there. Each dog is different and someone will last a year, some needed every three years and some less often.

WHAT IS TITRE TESTING
Titre testing is a blood test that measures antibody levels to determine if a dog has protective immunity against Canine Distemper, Adenovirus, and Parvovirus, the downside is it. Just lets you know if the dog is protected or if the antibody levels are low, unfortunately it doesn’t indicate the level or if you can go another three years or year it is an alternative though from getting your dog Vaccinated

The downside is it can be expensive, especially if you need to re-vaccinate your dog and often people will just believe the literature and believe that they don’t will be protected.

The other issue is that many kennels/boarding places will not accept it, it really depends how knowledgeable the place is. I’ve contacted places that will only take vaccinated dogs despite letter from the vet saying my dog is vaccinated. The same with caravan parks they don’t know what it is but at times they’ve accepted it after it’s been explained or a letter from my Vet.

ARCHIE REHAB PART 2

BILATERAL HUMERAL INTRACONDYLAR FiSSURE

This video is days 10 to 21 post op. He is now around week 10 postop and I have videoed his recovery.

Our aim in this video is to

📍 reduce pain and inflammation – this is done by the modalities of laser, accell and red light therapy. He was also on anti-inflammatories still when required

📍 to encourage weight-bearing by very low impact exercises. The exercises are isometric

📍 PROM - passive range of motion where I am doing flexion and extension of the elbow. I’m not pushing it he does it to his level of comfort.

📍 mental stimulation - Archie is a performance stock and very active as he can’t run around. I need to keep his mind active so we entered a nose work trial. Very low impact

📍 Walking - we are now up to 10 to 15 minute walks at a time, any trotting and he’s put in the pram as he’s only allowed to walk

📍 Exploring - my dogs are used to exploring, going places so we still do that but Archie is mainly in a pram. It’s so important to keep up a routine and still take him out as his health and well-being in every aspect is important.

📍 we have to be very careful in the exercises and the walking as we are still very close to the postop but it’s also important that he does put some weight on that leg or both legs

*** This video is to show you about rehab, the benefits of rehab, what rehab is. It’s not a general protocol it is tailored to my dog, his level of fitness, he’s done physio/conditioning all his life and he can do the exercise exercises with the form that’s required***

30/09/2026

You know your dog loves doing physio when he goes outside and just waits on the equipment in the hope that you might do some with him. Such a funny boy

24/09/2026

The end of June my boy suddenly became lame after chasing a ball once and ending up screaming so after a vet visit, CT scan, surgical visit he ended up having an operation towards the end of July for a Bilateral Humeral Condylar Fissure by specialist surgeon at Sash. I was lucky in the only available appointment that I got a surgeon who was told by others was the perfect one.

I have videoed his recovery as a point to show during this process how important rehab is and what a difference it can make in recovery.

We started straight away with various modalities to help reduce pain, inflammation and swelling. That was the most important thing after the operation and for the next seven days. We also did passive range of motion because his joints to lose a huge range of motion, this was done to his comfort and was not pushed any further

We were also encouraging weight-bearing with very low impact exercises and short walks

*** THIS PROGRAM WAS TAILORED & DESIGNED JUST FoR ARCHIE*** It’s not a protocol for everyone to use as my dog is a performance dog, he does fitness and conditioning regularly, we go for walks and he goes for a run regularly and he is very fit. He also knows many many exercises and if we put a new one in at any time he would catch it quickly due to his foundation and level. .

When I first started this journey of nose/scent work I never thought I’d be travelling 200 or 250 km round-trip to compete. It was just something fun to do with my dogs and yes, it is still fun but Kobie especially loves it so much he’s so excited that we started competing, I love it and they love it which is most important.

I love the fact that it’s something I trained my dogs but more importantly it’s something we can do together and that we both love. They get so excited to do it and I love watching them work and figuring out the puzzle of where the odour is

Best of all with Archie recovering it’s something to help his mental stimulation as he hates not running around, but he can do this competing and training

Soon we will be away from where all the trials are happening heading back to Sydney for Christmas and the coast so while we can we are entering as many trials as we can and travelling and getting up early
