It’s fun to work with and learn about other species…so I decided to improve my knowledge with this little gem. A great book for any cat lover!

Thanks to our last cohort of Delta students for 2024! Everyone is a bit tired at this time of year but this crew were fun, energised and open to learning. I look forward to watching you become awesome trainers as you go through the course.

This is a great book for anyone interested in animal training. It includes plenty of great anecdotes from Ken, many of which I was lucky enough to hear in person just a couple of months ago.

I’ve had the privilege of working with my sister’s kelpie puppy while on holidays over the last few days. I mean, who could resist that face?!?

If you have a dog that struggles with anxiety or fear, or you just really love learning about dog behaviour, then Zazie Todd’s most recent book is for you! As the guardian of a fearful dog sometimes it’s just really good to know you’re not alone.

Exhausted but my cup is full after a few days teaching another great group of Delta students! Thanks to all the students for their engagement, enthusiasm and energy. I know you will all be amazing advocates for our pet dogs.

All I see is incredibly frightened dogs. That does not make you a good trainer! Sometimes I think we believe this only happens overseas but this is here in Australia, and I know there are trainers right here in South Australia working in the very same way. I will never train using force, fear or intimidation. Neither should you.

The more people even know that dogs get dementia the better! And if they can help out with our research, even better! Follow the link to survey: https://redcap.link/teachingolddogsnewtricks

Is your dog disoriented, staring at walls, or sleeping more? Just like humans, man's best friend can also encounter the challenging impacts of dementia and University of Adelaide's Tracey Taylor is searching for a cure.

A professional in any industry should never stop learning! I have spent this last week at The Ranch Training Centre in Seattle USA honing my training skills under the expert eye of Ken Ramirez. If there's something about animal training that Ken doesn't know, it hasn't been invented yet. Working with trainers from across the globe is a great way to learn different techniques and approaches to the behavioural issues we deal with every day. Ongoing education is the only way to remain at the forefront of the industry. Being surrounded by like-minded trainers that put animal welfare first is so motivational. The animals we work with deserve our very best and I commit to always stretching my skills and knowledge to meet their needs, and the needs of their guardians. Now for the long trek home!

After another day of assessing therapy dogs for Delta, I got to hang out with some of our existing volunteers. Apparently they all think they’re lap dogs - except the smallest, who requires her own chair! A big thanks to all those who volunteer their time ###

I'm heading overseas for a short holiday and to further develop my own training skills under the expert tutelage of world-renowned animal trainer Ken Ramirez. Unfortunately that means I won't be able to see any clients until the beginning of September.

A new study that looks into canine cognitive decline finds that, just like humans, stimulation of dogs' brains through training and activity as they age can help keep the decline at bay.

Learning never stops! Today I spent the day learning about dogs and scent from the incredibly experienced and entertaining Rob and Karen Hewings. Thanks to Sleuth Houndz for providing the opportunity!
