🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

Cindy & family had some issues that they wanted to work through with their boy Benji, and so we got started training with him recently. Benji the Golden Retriever is not a young fella. At seven years of age, he's a bit set in his ways, but he showed us very quickly that he'd be able to learn.

"Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Keryn. She is the ultimate professional who has a wealth of knowledge and was able to provide a tailored package to my family’s needs. Keryn is down-to-earth, honest, reliable, friendly and a great communicator.

I could see positive changes in my dog’s behaviour in a relatively short period of time and most importantly, I have the skills to cope with situations that may arise in the future.

Keryn goes above & beyond and it is clear she truly cares and is passionate about her work.
I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Keryn."

Thanks to Cindy & family for caring enough to put the work in with Benji and not just let him linger in the backyard for his mature years. It was a pleasure working with you all.

The top 3 qualities that my clients all have...

🐕 They love their dogs enough to be the ones to put their foot down and say "Enough is enough" and "This behaviour is not good enough" - and then they help their dogs become a better version of themselves

⏰ They make the time to learn what THEY need to do and what THEY need to change in order to help their dog change, and then they practice the hell out of it

😀 They have fun with it and don't take the setbacks too seriously, and are able to laugh later on about the sh*t their dogs have put them through

Henry's parents did and you can too!

If this is you, or you want this to be you, send me a message now!

The Power of Human Mindset in Dog Training

One of my biggest challenges as a dog trainer is not the dog, but the owner. Especially if the owner is already been conditioned to believe that love can fix anything, or that their dog will hate them if they say no.

🌟 Client Testimonial 🌟

For me, it's rare to go into a new client's home and see a behaviour that is out of the ordinary. And whilst Nala did have a few 'ordinary' behaviours that we worked on, her issues were definitely in the unusual category. Having come from a confirmed mistreatment situation, Nala had no obedience, no manners training and no socialisation.

She was essentially going a little nuts in her former 'home'. But now in a lovely new forever home, with great parents and a nice big house and yard, we needed to work on erradicating the obsessive compulive circling and spinning that had been her only go-to when previously locked up.

So we taught listening skills and impulse control through clear obedience. Then added some rules and boundaries. We started to see a way to interrupt the obsessive moments and get her to rethink her behavioural choices.

"Keryn has been a lifesaver. We adopted/rescued a two-year-old border collie who'd been mistreated and had no training. We asked Keryn to help with her multiple issues and the training and support she gave us has been invaluable. Nala still has a little way to go but she has improved immensely - something we couldn't have done without Keryn's help. Highly recommend Keryn - her training really works."

If your dog has an out of the ordinary behaviour, I'd love to hear from you, and devise a program to help. Drop me a line now!

❓Frequently Asked Question: How can we work on my dog's social skills?

If we are working on socialisation with your puppy, overexcitable young dog, or your dog with sociability issues, the most ideal scenario is to have a dog available for you to practice on, who isn’t going to overreact to any mistakes your dog might make, when you and your dog are ready (which is at my discretion).

That‘s where my dogs can come into action.

This way we can tackle over-excitability, aggression, and possessive behaviours. Or build a great foundation for a young puppy.

How are your walks? Getting pulled or dragged? Dog controlling the pace or direction? Reacting to things you encounter along the way?

Here are three things you can do right this very minute to improve walks with your dog!

🐩 STOP revving them up before you go out on the walk.

Phrases like "C'mon, let's go for walkies!" or "Are you ready!" offered in a razzy tone of voice get them psyched and overstimulated before you even leave the house.

Instead, offer calm conversation, or better yet a warning tone of voice to them to keep calm and not start acting up before you even depart.

Most people inadvertently overstimulate their dogs and then reward them by taking them for a walk in their already overstimulated state - and wonder why they pull, react to stimuli or ignore commands

🐕🦺 Choose appropriate equipment that will give YOU control, not give all the control to the dog.

Whilst it's nice for the dog to be comfortable, it's much more important for them to be safe. Safe from the world around them and safe FOR the world around them.

An out-of-control dog on an inappropriate piece of equipment that gives no control to the handler is a potential danger to themselves and those around them.

🐕 Don't expect them to understand how they should be behaving on a walk, TEACH them.

A good quality training program will educate your dog about how to walk freely on a loose lead. If they have had no training, and you are expecting them to walk nicely, you are likely to be disappointed.

Get in contact with me now if you'd like to chat about your dog learning to walk nicely on lead!
