Jo shares her inspiring journey into the world of dog training, initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic with the innovative Animal Centered Education (ACE) Free Work method developed by Sarah Fisher. We discuss the principles behind ACE Free Work, a technique that uses different sensory stimuli and environments to help dogs feel safe, relaxed, and naturally expressive. Jo delves into the practical aspects of setting up free work stations, recognizing individual dog needs, and the incredible benefits this method brings, especially for reactive dogs. By providing dogs with choices and observing their behaviors, caregivers can build stronger bonds, enhance trust, and potentially uncover hidden health issues. Jo's ongoing educational journey with Sarah Fisher aims to bring this unique approach to dog training in Australia, and she shares insightful advice for both novice and seasoned dog caregivers. Tune in to discover the magic of free work and how it can transform your relationship with your dog.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:11 Location and Business Background01:09 Specialization in Animal Centred Education (ACE)02:41 Understanding ACE Free Work03:54 Practical Applications of Free Work06:01 Observation and Engagement Techniques08:03 Learning and Teaching ACE Free Work10:04 Empowering Dog Owners10:36 Interactive Games for Dogs11:21 Understanding Free Work11:51 Recognizing Dog's Finishing Cues13:07 Setting Up Free Work Stations13:22 Consulting a Professional14:19 Customizing Free Work for Your Dog15:11 Affordable Free Work Solutions15:32 Incorporating Different Elements16:25 Chewing as a De-stressor17:01 Building Trust and Bonding17:48 Introducing Dogs to Each Other18:34 Finding More Information19:35 The Magic of Free Work19:57 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFind out more and connect with Joanne:Website: https://www.pawordernoosa.com.auBio: I am the only authorised Australian offering Animal Centred Education (ACE) FREEWORK.
