The definition of Synergy is "the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects." At Synergy Dog Training our goal is to create and build teamwork and trust between owners and their dogs. Synergy Dog Training is run by Nicole Leyden and is based in Brisbane, QLD Australia. Nicole is a qualified dog trainer with a certi

ficate 3 in Canine behaviour and training from the National Dog Trainers Federation. Nicole has been training her own dogs for more than 15 years and is an experienced obedience, agility and show competitor. Nicole is also a qualified obedience judge and a registered breeder of Border Collies with the ANKC (Australian National Kennel Club) and Dogs Queensland. Nicole has been trained by and continues to be mentored by Steve Courtney from K9 Pro in Sydney. She uses their behaviour modification techniques and Training In Drive system in her training programs. Nicole has been working with Steve for more than 10 years and has had great success using K9 Pro's methods with her own dogs and with clients. Here at Synergy Dog Training, our methods are balanced and tailored to each individual dog - there is no "One-size-fits-all". Nicole has a wide variety of techniques, tools and skills that she uses and teaches to achieve the desired outcome. Nicole can help you with the following and more:
- problem behaviours such as leash pulling, barking, jumping up, failing to come on command

Clever Zip competed at a double obedience trial last night and gained herself a perfect 200/200! She did well in her second run gaining a 196/200. I love training this dog!

Heidi the German Shepherd working on her loose lead walking around another dog in her private lesson today. She is quite reactive towards others dogs and will typically explode with lunging and barking, but now look at her!

We help changes like this happen every week! Want your dog to change like this too? Get in touch!

What did you and your dogs get up to on the weekend?

Frankie who's been staying with us for a board and train had an outing to Sandgate to work on her loose lead walking.

Our Advanced Skills class worked on sendaways directly towards another dog this week. This is a challenge for the running dog to do the task commanded and not greet the other dog and it's also a challenge for the dog on place to remain calm while being run at by another dog.

They did so well!

Our Advanced Skills class is for long term clients who are looking to challenge their dogs more. We often work on tricks, harder versions of life skills exercises and really anything the client or we come up with!

Frankie, the mini Labradoodle is currently staying with us for a few weeks of in house training. She's been enjoying tagging along to classes and working on her impulse control around other dogs!

Monday Check In!

What did you and your dog get up to over the weekend?

Zip and I had a ripper of a time at the Dogs Queensland State Obedience Trials where we won the top dog for our level! She placed first in both competitions getting a perfect scorebof 200/200 for the first competition and following it up with a very nice score of 197/200 for the second trial.

Special thanks to my mentor and coach Steve from who helped me tidy up Zip's work so she could perform at this standard!

The anywhere dog...

A dog who can chill at home, do a casual walk around the neighbourhood, handle busy places like markets and tag along on sneaky mid week dinners out!

Having a dog who can do all this isn't luck. It took time, loads of training and a system to raise and train her into the dog she is today.

Starting when your dog is a puppy will give you the best chance of success but even if you are working with an older dog, a reactive dog or a dog with some challenges you can still work towards the goal of a dog you can take places with you!

Reach out if you want help to train an anywhere dog like Zip!

Having an indoor space to work dogs is such a blessing! We have been able to run all our lessons and classes as scheduled this last week despite the crazy wet weather we've had!
