Foster Flashback: Cooper, 2016

This boy could easily have weasled his way into my family.

Cooper was a Border Collie x and just the sweetest boy. Not sure how anyone could have left him in a pound.

Remembered fondly.

Tanzi is 20 weeks old and has officially spent half her life in her forever home with me and Jaffa! And is starting to make Jaffa look little.

22/04/2025

It's today so it's a great reminder for us all to update our pet's microchip details.

Has your dog ever got out or got lost? What happened?

22/04/2025

Tanzi’s first ever off lead recall outside the home environment. And I’m super happy with this beginning.

What makes it so good?

Well there is not much distraction for one thing. That’s on purpose. She can’t handle much yet.

It’s a controllable environment. Also on purpose in case she makes a mistake.

Other things that make it what it is:
✅ Previous on lead practice including positive reinforcement and corrections
✅ Never being called in this type of environment when the distractions are out of her league
✅ Never, ever hearing her name when she’s in trouble or as a warning
✅ Never, ever hearing her name like it’s white noise
✅ Never being called when I’m going to do something she might dislike eg put on her halter and take her home
✅ Never getting away with breaking or blowing off other commands
✅ Solid reinforcement of rules and boundaries at home from day one

Do you need help with recall? Give me a call today because I can help!

❓Frequently Asked Question: Why is your training so expensive?

Perhaps it seems so to you but when you train with me at A New Leash on Life Dog Training you are getting:

1. A dog trainer with 20+ years of experience in dog training, 15+ years of foster caring for dogs with behavioural problems, and someone who has lived with everything from puppies to dogs that need rehabilitation
2. A trainer with certification and insurance
3. A clear plan for achieving the end that you want explained to you upfront

Plus I have some less pricey options for those who might have a tight budget. So, let's get together and make a plan today. Contact me now.

PS It's not that expensive compared to replacing half your furnishings!

Follower Question - Do you have an answer to help Jeff out?

What does everyone do about those annoying little mushrooms that spring up in your lawn, so the dogs don't eat them? Does anyone have a solution to those pesky little mushies? Are they poisonous for dogs?

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is that it doesn't matter what the age of the dog or their issues might be, if the owners are truly dedicated to the training process, the dog is in the right hands. Alfie's Mum & Dad were so incredible is learning something totally new to them and in teaching it to Alfie. They impressed me every step of the way.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to hear how Alfie continues to do.

"Keryn was amazing. The things she taught us in just 4 sessions was incredible and our dog Alfie has learnt so much and is so much more obedient. My partner was very sceptical but now highly recommends Keryn to anyone we speak to. Thank you, Keryn."

If you want it badly enough to make it happen, success is just a matter of time. Drop me a message today and we can plan it out together.

Save your dog's life by teaching them this truly essential skill:

The car boundary

Tanzi is just short of five months old and has been working on her car boundary every single time we go anywhere in the car. And I'm really happy with her progress in this area.

Today I just randomly decided to film it, and I caught the moment where Jaffa accidentally fell out of the car and did his utmost to fix the error as quickly as he could. You'll notice him straight away, look to me to see if he did the right thing, and I praised him.

I didn't tell him off for getting out, as there was no intent behind the mistake.

On the other hand, Tanzi makes the mistake of jumping back into the car too quickly, before I've opened the door to her crate, and before I've asked her to get in. This is a mistake she makes from time to time now that she has realised she's big enough to jump into the car by herself. No big deal. I deal with the mistake and give her another chance to get it right. And she gets it right the second time around.

If your dog can't do a car boundary, then it's time for them to learn this very vital skill. Drop me a message or give me a call and let's teach it together asap!

Let's talk about food thievery!

Do you have a canine food-thief in your midst? A perpetually "Sneaky Schnauzer" or a "Totally opportunistic Terrier"?

I could certainly see Tanzi in that role if she were in the wrong hands, untrained or just with people who were not paying attention.

So how do we manage this?

My first step is always to make sure that when you are not present, not awake or not concentrating that your dog has NO access to steal-able edibles.

Not ever!

No leaving a loaf of bread at the back of the counter.
No defrosting a steak on the sink whilst you duck out to hang the washing.
No leaving the cheese platter on the coffee table whilst you go back to the kitchen to get the wine glasses.

Every time they steal and eat even a little bit THEY PROVIDE THEIR OWN REWARD and nothing you say or do is ever going to change that. It will spur them on to go again if they succeeded in the past.

Want to work towards a fix?

Give me a call or drop me a line because I can help with this and so many other things.

(My lovely clients dog Bean posed for this photo. You have no idea the trouble I had to go to to get her to take this cheese so we could get the shot. She really did not want to do it, bless her!)
