Lara Shannon: "As a Certified Dog Behaviourist and Trainer, and Host of Channel 10’s Pooches at Play, some of the most common dog behaviour issues I see can be easily treated with some simple dog obedience training, and owners setting clear and consistent boundaries". On your bed training is often a good place to start as it can be a useful place to send your dog in man situations.

Teaching your dog to reliably go and stay “On Your Bed” is a desired behaviour, rather than running and jumping at you or visitors as they enter the house. Or if they are begging for food in the kitchen, or following your every move, then this bit of training will benefit them and you!

Indie Boho dog (and cat!) waterproof padded travel mats are a year-round essential with so many practical uses.  Here we list the top 15 ways you will benefit from having a travel mat, including training tips from Ryan Tate, Founder of the Animal Training Academy. 

In this list we discuss: giving your dogs a safe space while making them feel ultra comfortable at a cafe, restaurant, on a plane or in the office; getting them started early with a mat at puppy school; making them feel "at home" at doggy daycare, their sitters / friends place, while on holidays or camping; and protecting your car or designer living room rug from mess! 

Since releasing our range of ceramic food and water bowls last year, we have been loving the photos, posts and stories from so many of you, showing us what you are feeding your dogs! 

With a variety of options from wet to dry, kibble to grain free, we thought we'd take a closer look at what a raw food diet is. And the best people to tell us all about it are the fabulous folk at Big Dog Pet Foods, the leaders in this field. In this article we cover BARF, the ingredients of a raw food diet and all the health benefits for your pet. 

Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge (SCARS) has been operating since 1979 – that’s 40 years this year! The shelter is well known to our local community and has made an incredible impact, rescuing and re-homing approximately 40,000 dogs and cats in that time. As a not-for-profit charitable organisation SCARS does not receive any government funding; instead they rely heavily on public donations, volunteers and the businesses that support them. Through our annual Seconds & SCARS Sale, donations to the Paws for a Cause fundraising lunch, and ongoing fundraising, promotion and support throughout the year, Indie Boho have proudly maintained our Gold Sponsorship of SCARS for more than five years.
