Happy Sunday everyone.

Post me a pic or clip of anything your doggo has done this week.

A cute pic!
A funny clip!
A training video!

Something you are proud of or embarrassed about. Or just something fun.

Anything you like.

I'll start.

On Tuesday, Tanzi lost our ball. I was forced to grab the backup ball for the rest of the week. Then on Friday Tanzi found our lost ball. Suddenly we had a two ball system in action.

Anyone else use a two ball system?

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

"We had a fantastic experience with Keryn training our dogs, Bobby and Luka, in our home.

Keryn is knowledgeable, patient, and made everything easy to understand, giving us practical techniques that worked from day one. The in-home sessions made a big difference, helping us address real-life behaviours in a comfortable environment.

We’ve seen a huge improvement in Bobby and Luka’s obedience, and we feel much more confident as owners thanks to her guidance.

We’d highly recommend Keryn to anyone looking for professional, effective, and personalised dog training! 🐾

❓Frequently Asked Question: How do I know where to get my training from? Are classes better or private lessons better?

Once you know what methodology you want to use to train your dog or puppy then choose what means you will use to receive the information you need to train them - classes, private lessons, online program, board & train, or a short intensive program.

For example, I can give you the exact same information if I’m standing in front of you in your home, standing in front of you via a screen or if I was teaching you in a group. How you implement it is the key.

Why my dog training business is different to some others!

I was asked a question in a business-related FB group about what makes my business stand out from other dog training businesses and it took some thinking about to identify, but I think this is me in a nutshell.

1. I try to make dog owners feel heard and understood before I even work with them. I don't do the "online booking" scenario, I speak with my clients in depth before I work with them so they feel like they are choosing someone they already know a bit and already understands them.

2. I use a dog training method that isn't mainstream, and even flies in the face of mainstream in some areas. I'm not the only one using it but we are not in a majority. I'm results driven.

3. I take my dog into client homes to demonstrate, act as distraction or to set up challenging situations for the clients dog/s - when they are ready.

4. I space out my programs over a longer than usual length of time so that each client has plenty of time to practice with their dog, and that we are more likely to end up with a longer-lasting result - not just a quick change that reverts a couple of weeks later.

5. I address the client's mindset as fundamental to fixing the dog's issues, as I believe without (sometimes serious) mindset changes on the part of the human nothing is likely to change long-term with the dog.

If you have worked with me, let me know were any of these points were accurate for you?
If you haven't worked with me, what do you want from your dog trainer? (No trainer naming or bashing please)

Understanding Reinforcement & Rewards

Understanding rewards are much more than handing over a treat, and that postive reinforcement is taking place when you don't mean it, is important for every dog owner. Let's take a look at how these work for me.

Why your dog’s behaviour might be worse in winter. And how to work on it.

Hey, it seems winter is upon us once again.

Is your dog starting to bark more?
Zooming around the house?
Getting up to mischief?

Wintery weather can be tough on dogs – and on us. Less time outside. Shorter walks. Fewer playmates at the park. It’s no wonder they get a bit stir-crazy!

Even the weather itself can affect some dogs – windy days, heavy rain and storms can increase stress and reactivity.

But you can help your dog stay calm and well-behaved over winter – right from home.

Try some, or all, of these:
🧠 Short daily training sessions
🛏 Teach duration commands like Place or Drop while you’re cooking or doing admin type tasks
🐾 Let them self-regulate (with a watchful eye!) – reward good choices, correct the cheeky ones - without you micromanaging their every move
🧸 Rotate toys and add the occasional fun surprise (paper towel roll inners are a hit here!)
🏡 Practise indoor boundaries – like staying out of the kitchen during dinner prep

Mental work is just as tiring as physical exercise – sometimes more so!

And if you’re thinking training is something to put off until spring... don’t.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Post me a pic or clip of anything your doggo has done this week.

A cute pic!

A training video!

Something you are proud of or embarrassed about. Or just something fun.

Anything you like.

I'll start.

I'm having fun exploring all the parts of the creek side & scrub that Mum wouldn't let me go in during the warm weather. She was worried about something called snakes, whatever they are. Anyway it's like a whole new area to explore galore!
