The concept: Snakes by nature do not want confrontation and would rather slither away from trouble than attack something that is too large to eat. The “Snake Defence” solar repeller is the solution to deterring snakes by transmitting both an earth borne vibration and air borne low frequency sound that has been found ideal to discourage snakes. This pulse is picked up through a snake’s body sensors, thinking that danger may be ahead, snakes are keen to change direction for safer ground.

Coverage:  Up to a maximum radius of 15 meters (30m Diameter) or about 700 sq meters in all directions. We suggest an overlap of 5m, so each unit should be positioned about 25m apart (see drawing below). The vibration & sound to a snake will be unsettling, create a feeling of uncertainty, an area to be avoided.

**Changing vibration patterns of the MP Plus model
About every 50 seconds the "Snake Defence MP Plus" emits a variety of vibrations and sound that change 3 times per week.The idea behind the changing pulse is to vary the pattern so snakes do not become accustomed to the unit.

Almost every dog has some degree of prey drive — it’s in his genes — some more than others. You may experience it when your otherwise well mannered dog suddenly takes off chasing after a rabbit, squirrel, or a jogger. The old approach to solving this problem involved the use of “corrective” devices like choke chains and electronic fences. A better approach includes training and management techniques that reward your dog for choosing to focus on and stay near you, the owner.

72.EBOOK: THE CANINE THYROID EPIDEMIC – ANSWERS YOU NEED FOR YOUR DOG , by W. Jean Dodds & Diana Laverdure

 Problems with your dog? It may be his thyroid! If your dog is lethargic, losing his hair, gaining weight or suddenly becomes aggressive, perhaps the last thing you (or your vet!) would think about is his thyroid. Unfortunately, however, thyroid disorders can cause literally dozens of health and behavioral problems in dogs and frequently go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed. And the real tragedy is that most thyroid problems are treatable with the right medical care and a well-informed owner can often minimize the chance of a thyroid disorder occurring in the first place.

In recent years in depth research has led to a greater understanding of animal behaviour and psychology and how animals learn. The results have revolutionised how we are able to better communicate with our pets of all species, and to get them to do what we want them to do, effectively and efficiently and enjoyably without - in the case of our dogs - relying on  the methods so long synonymous with a 'choker' chain and command based 'obedience' training.

 

Some cutting edge resources in our instructor's lending library that are at the forefront of contemporary behaviour modification and dog training are listed below. They are placed by name of author in alphabetical order. Several of these books are now available at the suburban branches of the Brisbane City Council library.  

Some of these books can be purchased from either a) good bookstores in Brisbane at often much cheaper prices than buying from overseas + postage or from b) some Australian agents representing overseas publishers (>Favourite Resources, websites.)
